What About Me?



Fashion has always been a part of my life.  I was the girl in school wearing a new outfit and trying new fashions.  I've had some great hits and definitely some misses.  Starting this blog has been such an adventure and something I wish I had done years ago.  I love "meeting" new bloggers, looking at their outfits and getting inspiration.

So I thought it was about time to tell you all little "bits" about me!  Here's 10 and feel free to ask me more! 

1.  How old are you?
Ummm.. I plead the 5th on that one.  I know I look young (thanks to my freckles), sooo let's leave it at that.

2.  How tall are you?
I'm totally vertically challenge, 5'1".  

3.  What do you do for a living?  
Well... that's an interesting question and somewhat complicated.  I'm a full-time wife and mom.  I know it seems strange to say wife, but my husband comes first even before the kiddos.  I also have a part-time @home business and an out of the home part-time job (HR recruiting).  Whew!  That's a mouthful.

4.  Where do you live?
Philadelphia, PA.  Originally from Pittsburgh, PA (Go Steelers!)

5.  Why did you start a blog?
I started a small jewelry company a few years ago and found it very difficult on my own.  Different than being a rep for another jewelry company, I did EVERYTHING.  I still have my business, but wanted another way to showcase my style and passion for fashion (that totally sounds corny).  

5.  Who takes your photos?
My hubby.  He's been a part-time photographer for a long time and he's a huge cheerleader for me.  He uses Canon a 50 mm, f1.4 lens.

6.  When did you get married?
My hubs and I got married in February 2006, in a blizzard!  It was THE most wonderful day of my life.  My hubs makes me smile and laugh every day (even when we've had a fight).  He's my rock through thick and thin.

7.  What do I do other than blogging and working?  
I love spending time with my family.  We usually try to find fun things to do together (harder in the winter time).  If I'm not with my family, I'm at the gym.

8.  How do you stay in shape?  
Exercising is really important to me.  When I'm consistently exercising, I feel better physically and emotionally.  I do cardio (mostly interval training) and weights.  Stretching is huge for me too.  I keep a lot of stress in my shoulders, so it's imperative that I stretch.

9.  Do you diet?
HA!  That's a toughy.  No, I don't call it a diet.  I call it eating healthy and that means what I eat as well as how much I eat.   I used to be someone that would not eat breakfast, grab a salad for lunch and then chips and salsa was my dinner.  I was skinny then and I only had to worry about myself.  Now?  I have to make sure I'm healthy, have energy, and most importantly I'm setting an example to my kids in how to eat properly.  I eat most of my complex carbs before 3 pm.  You'll hear more about my healthy eating soon.

10.  Crazy things about me?  I drive like a maniac. I hardly ever pay for a manicure, but love getting pedis.  I am a neat freak, and organizational nut case.  I wear contacts (which I hate) & I've had "braces" twice.  I have a major sweet tooth and am a total foodie.  I love salmon, brownies, REAL icecream and BBQ!  I don't like going to the movies, or reading books, but love my DVR and style magazines!  

There you have it.  I would love to hear some fun things about you!

  5. You are so gorgeous! I drive like a maniac too. And I have a little bit of road rage that I am not proud of. I hate getting manicures too! I always mess them up when I am still in the salon and am always too embarassed to ask them to fix them and I hate waiting for my nails to dry at home!
    Thanks for sharing :)

  17. It was great to get to know you a little better. We have so much in common. I agree wholeheartedly that the hubby should come first and I know not a lot of people agree with that when it comes to kids.
