Their Questions for me:

1. If you had to narrow your beauty regimen down to 5 products, what would they be?

I’m going to assume they mean skincare? But I will do makeup & skincare just in case! I think it would be my Aveeno Face Wash for sensitive skin for when my skin hates me, my moisturizer, a waterproof mascara, lip balm, & hmmm…. my Reviva Labs 5% Glycolic Acid Cream. Review on that coming soon…

2. What inspired you to start a blog?

Honestly, I just love makeup, beauty, nails, all of it. I have always had lots of it too. So it seemed natural. I have always been a writer so it fills that creativity nook for me.

3. Looking back, what was your biggest beauty or fashion Don’t moment?

Oh man…ummm….OH! I had one of those goofy looking fishnet kind of arm things back in the day. I was so punk, so cool. Haha

4. What do you do for a job or career?

Man, you guys ready? I teach preschool part time, pet sit & dog train, am a beauty blogger, & I do PR for a hair company. I would LOVE to do more PR though, its so up my alley!

5. What is your guilty pleasure?

Dark chocolate & caramel anything. Midnight Milky Ways are pretty much crack.

6. What’s your best feature?

I got voted Prettiest Eyes in high school so I’ll go with those.

7. Favorite beauty and fashion trend of the moment?

Coral/tangerine.

8. Favorite TV show?

I’m not picking one, I cheat. True Blood, Castle, Psych, & anything with magic or vampires, generally speaking. Growing up, I was all about Are You Afraid of the Dark? & Sabrina.

9. How would you describe your personal style?

Honestly, whatever I feel like doing that day.

10. Favorite place to shop in store and online?

In store…probably like TJ Maxx or Ross only because I feel like I’m on a treasure hunt. Online its Amazon, Hautelook, or Ulta.

11. What do you like about my blog and why?

Believe it or not, it reminds me a lot of what my blog looked like when I first started which totally makes me smile. I love your nails though, as weird as that is? Does that make me sound like a blogger or what?

Whew! Okay, so here are my questions for the 11 people I tag:

1. You can only wear one nail color for the rest of your life, what is it?
