Ask Me Anything :)

11 Random Questions from 11 Random Bloggers...

1.  What is your favorite food of all time?
Brownies. Dark Chocolate Fudgie delicious brownies!

2.  How did you discover the healthy living blog community?
It was just love at first sight :) About a year and a half ago, I made the change to strive to live a healthy lifestyle and began "clean eating". While searching for recipes, I stumbled upon Peanut Butter Fingers blog... and through her blog I found other's blogs and so on. It was a domino effect. Now, I wonder what I would do without my healthy living blog community. I love you all!

3.  What inspired you to start your own blog?
I think alot.... probably more so then the average person. After spending several months reading blogs, I thought it would be a fun hobby to start. It would allow me to become more involved in the healthy living blog community and let me express my thoughts. It seemed perfect!

4.  Sweet or savory?
Sweet.. Ofcourse, there are always the times savory sounds oh so yummy! But when in doubt, something sweet will never fail you!

5.  Cooking or baking?  Or neither?
Or both?! I use to hate the kitchen in general. Actually, frozen meals were my go to. And anything microwavable seemed like the best thing on the planet. Now, I can't imagine eating a frozen meal or making something in the microwave. I love to cook, and am always baking. So I choose both!

6.  Describe your “perfect day”.
Hmm... the "perfect day" would be... waking up around 6am (after going to be around 10pm the night before of course... still need my hours of sleep!)... and then heading to the beach for a morning walk and run with a Starbucks in hand (when I am walking ofcourse!)... and finish the morning with some beach yoga. Then ofcourse, lay out and relax with some sort of refreshing salad. A shower when then be calling my name, and the rest of the day would consist of walking around an outdoor mall or enjoying the outdoors somehow. Dinner would call for Shabu Shabu (the BEST restaurant in SoCal by far!) and be finished off with some FroYo for dessert. End the night with something casual with some friends... and I would be the one happy girl :)

7.  How would you describe your personality?
Completely laid back. Perhaps almost too laid back. I have an opinion, but I rarely express it. I have what I want, but I rarely say it. I like to make things easy and not cause any problems so I am always down to do whatever whenever. Do I get walked on... sure. But I think the benefit of being easy going far exceeds the disadvantages.

8.  What is your favorite grocery store?
Well this seems like a easy question... but my grocery store habits are quite complex haha!
For produce, I go to El Super! Cheap and yummy veggies! Delicious!
For bulk bin products, I go to Smart and Final! They have a huge variety and are so well priced!
For yogurt and dairy, I go to Ralphs! Their store brand products are my favorite!

So to answer the question... I have three favorite grocery stores! And yes, I visit them all weekly!  

9.  Would you rather get new workout clothes or everyday clothes?
Everyday clothes. Workout clothes are cute, and I would love some, don't get me wrong. But no matter what I am wearing... when I am done working out and am completely drenched in sweat, I have no hope of looking good, lets be real. Plus, all girls could use more everyday clothes, right?!

10.  Treadmill or outdoors?
Outdoors HANDS DOWN! There is nothing better then to run with gorgeous scenery and the fresh air! Makes me miss Colorado :(

11.  Tell me a funny story.
My life is one big funny story! But I feel like it is a "have to be there" kind of story... I do silly things, I say random things, I laugh at everything, everyone makes me smile... life is a funny story no matter who you are :)

Every have a question?! Just ask!

I feel like we go about our lives wondering all the time about who people are and what people have going on. I meet someone, and I always am interested in their story. But in today's society, we have got so use to just shrugging it off and going on with our own lives that we forget to stop and listen to others. People enjoy talking about themselves. Admit it or not, it is the truth. So take a moment, take some time out of your day, and spend it getting to know someone better. Ask them questions. Get them thinking. And just listen. You never know who's day you will make? What information you will learn? Or best friend, you almost let go by!
