I blog about style, beauty, and a little bit about my
life/travels, however I don’t really share any random facts about myself.
Lucky for you, I was tagged by Hal from Hair by Hal to
answer 11 fun questions that he came up with!
Fun fact: Hal did Charming’s hair on our
wedding day!
What's your favorite
guilty pleasure food?
This may sound
hecka strange and you’ll probably never guess this, but it is…….(drum roll)….condensed milk. I know, I know, it is super
sugary. Despite being very aware of that, I just can’t stop eating it! And yes,
I just eat it on its own. I don’t know what it is about it, but I like it to
the point where I can’t keep any in my home or else it’ll be quickly gone!
Where do you get your
inspiration from for your blog & instagram?
Most of my posts on
instagram and my blog come from basic life experiences. Sometimes I’ll put
together an outfit for my day job and love it so much that I want to blog it.
Other times I’ll see a color combo on another person that I adore and be
reminded of an outfit that I have. Most recently I started sharing more about
the makeup I wear. I went through a two month phase where I didn’t feel like
wearing makeup and then all of a sudden missed wearing makeup so I started
sharing more “Today’s Face” photos on my Instagram story. Basically, my
inspiration comes from my day-to-day experiences and things that I am loving!
What goals
(personally or blog related) do you have for the rest of 2017?
♥ To work out more.
♥ To blog at least once a week (so far going strong
for four weeks!).
·♥ To read more.
♥ Brainstorm more creative blog & instagram
posts.
♥ Make more time for friends & family.
What is one song you
know absolutely every word to?
“Then” by Brad Paisley. This has been a fave
for a loooong time.
What/where is something
that makes you happiest?
Being in our home with Charming! It has been so fun building our home together
and I’m so happy with how our apartment has come along! Despite the fact that I adore tropical beaches, there's truly no place like being home with my love.
What is your favorite
hair care product?
I just started using the Reconstructive Moisture Mask by
Kristin Ess and it has completely changed my life and my hair! I used to use a
whopping size of hair conditioner and it worked, but wasn’t mind blowing. With
this product, you can use a nickel size of the conditioner and it works
wonders!
How did you start
blogging?
So despite being a more active blogger nowadays, I actually
started blogging in July 2013! Why? I have loved fashion and beauty since I was
maybe 15 years old. I wanted to be a cosmetologist, but decided not to go to
cosmetology school for several reasons. Therefore, I wanted another way to
express my love for these topics and discovered the blogging world! Fun fact:
my first blog url was alenaaxo.blogspot.com!
Favorite TV show?
This
is a hard choice, so I’m going to list a few: Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and
Modern Family. I also want to add Gossip Girl and Revenge, but unfortunately
these shows are over.
What are your tips for
time management with a hectic life & the blog?
This definitely always a
challenge! I love a beautiful agenda to help organize my schedule and keep me in check!
What is the number
one place on your bucket list?
If you read my About Me page, you may have
already guessed this. I would LOVE to go to Fiji one day!
What mantra do you
live by?
I don’t have one particular mantra that I live by, but I strongly
believe in the power of positivity and not wasting your time being
negative. I also love the following two verses
in the Bible:
♥“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks
in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” – 1
Thessalonians 5:16-18
♥ “God is within her, she will not fall.” – Psalms
46:5
