1. How many blogs do you read every day and what are they? (I’m talking the ones you NEVER miss)
I read many, many blogs so don’t feel slighted if I leave you out. It doesn’t mean I don’t read your blog! These are just my few “go-to” blogs whose addresses I have memorized and who I do check on every day.
The Chloe Conspiracy
Glammed If You Do, Glammed If You Don’t
Slice of Pink
A Little Pink in the Cornfields
Crazy Aunt Purl
Pretty In The City
(I completely plan to go back and insert links--I just wanted to get this out there!)
As I said, there are many, many more; these are just the first ones I like to check on first thing every morning!
2. How many “best friends” do you have? Do you have different “besties” for different areas of your life?
This may sound like a cop-out but my best friends at the moment are my husband and my dog. I have many, many, MANY girlfriends in my personal life and at the office and also through blogging, but I don’t have a best girlfriend anymore which kind of makes me sad. But there is not just that one female friend who I do everything with and share everything with. Maybe that just comes from getting older and being married and growing apart from certain people.
3. What’s your daily make up routine?
Philosophy’s Hope In A Jar moisturizer with sunscreen, then a primer—I like either a Sephora primer, a primer by Smashbox , or a really good primer by L’Oreal that just smoothes my skin and gets it ready for foundation. My foundation of choice and my newest favorite right now is L’Oreal’s Magic Souffle—I just put a little on and it blends right in and makes my skin really smooth. Then I use a little Maybelline illuminator powder on my cheekbones, bridge of my nose, forehead (making a W shape) and then sometimes a little on my chin. Followed by a plum colored blush by Cover Girl. As far as eyes, I curl my lashes and then put on several coats of Cover Girl Lash Blast in black, eyeliner pencil (I like blue), and sometimes a little highlighter on my brown bone. The highlighter is from Sephora & the shade is Aspen. For lips, I like Lip Venom lip plumper, Philosophy Red Velvet lip gloss (sadly this has been discontinued!), and sometimes a little Revlon lipstick in raisin or plum shades. And that’s it. I can do it all in under 10 minutes. But reading this, it sounds like a lot!
4. What is your ideal girl’s night?
Dinner and girl talk over glasses of wine. It is also fun just to sit around in sweats or pjs and watch movies and eat junk food—but I haven’t done that in ages. Maybe I should!
5. Do you keep up with your nails/toenails or are they au natural?
I get a pedicure every 3-4 weeks, more in the summer and I generally do my own finger nails. I like color, no naked nails! I am lucky in that we have someone come to our office every other Tuesday for manicures & pedicures.
6. What’s your best roommate story (assuming you had a roommate at some point in your life)?
I once had two male roommates; I would not recommend this to anyone – they were both complete slobs. On the other hand, when I had female roommates, it completely ruined our friendships—one permanently and the other one temporarily. I don’t recommend moving in with girlfriends either. Yikes! In my memory, roommates involved arguments over boyfriends, food in the fridge, cleaning, borrowed clothes, etc., etc. Not fun. Before marriage, my best years were when I had my OWN place!
7. What’s your “go to” outfit that you wear more than anything else?
Jeans, heels (because I am short!), cute top, cute scarf to tie everything together.
8. Do you have a beauty secret?
I really believe the two best things you can do for your skin and keep yourself looking young is a) exfoliate (sugar makes a great scrub and I love anything by Olay), and b) stay out of the sun and, if you are going to be in the sun, wear sunscreen. Oh, and one more thing and this is so true—a smile is your best accessory! (Cheesy, I know!)
9. Did you read Seventeen magazine growing up?
I loved it!
10. How did you learn to put on makeup?
Self taught. I often “played” with my mom’s makeup. I started wearing mascara occasionally when I was 13; by the time I was 15 I was wearing more & more makeup and sometime around 16 I discovered eyeliner. I wouldn’t say I always wore it well but I had fun.

I use a primer by L'Oreal too and I love it! Makes my skin look and feel like velvet. Primer's a new must for me.
I also like bright nails, I feel unkept if my nails are painted and pretty.
Shannon was going to move in with us next month but recently decided against it. I have to admit, I was a little peeved at all the time I had wasted looking for a bigger house but ultimately relieved. My sister and I just fine and dandy us and the pets. :)
That's supposed to aren't painted and pretty, not are painted and pretty. ;)
I still can't believe you don't use google reader and only read blogs based on memory! google reader is my savior. I can save all of the blogs I read in it and they automatically pop up in the reader for me every day! It's awesome!
