11 Questions that Charlie asked me
- How did you come up with the name of your blog?
I had seen it on a website (probably Pinterest or Tumblr) and fell in love with it! Eating clean and training dirty is truely the best way to lose weight. Screw all those fad diets.
- How much time do you dedicate to your blog per week?
Honestly, it all depends. I aim to update it at least once a week with a weigh-in, but I usually end up writing a blog post about two or three times each week.
- What is your favorite color and thing that you own of that color?
I love the color blue! All shades are gorgeous. And my favorite thing that is blue? This baby...
- Do you perfer high heels, flats, or shoes you exercise in? Flats... no competition.
- What did you eat for dinner last night?
My housemate made Chicken Enchiladas and they were delish!
- Who are your three best friends?
Ugh, I hate this question because I feel like I always have to leave someone out. I have so many fabulous friends, but if I had to narrow it down to only three, I would go with Jessica (my sister), Emily (my old roommate) and Brielle (my current roommate).
- What brand of shampoo and conditioner do you use?
(Disclaimer: I am a broke college student) Suave.
- Did you go to prom and if so, what did you wear?
Sadly, I did not go to prom. I was homeschooled. :(
- Who is your style icon?
Hmm, I don't really have one. Can a store count as a style icon? If it can, then it would definitely be Maurice's. Everything they have is so cute!
- If you were at Starbucks, what would you order?
A grande peppermint mocha!
- Where is your number one pick of vacation (if money was not a factor)?
Paris! The day that I get to see the Eiffel Tower will be one of the most exciting days of my life!!
