  1. What I nice way of getting to know you! You’ve got such an eclectic and open outlook. Glad that you’re living your dream job! Hope to get there soon.

    Just to add, my favorite color is red, my fave season is Autumn, I like both cake and pie, and yes, resting your feet after a long day is the best feeling. Place a cat on my lap and I’m in Heaven.

    That was fun!

    Cheers!

  3. Sounds like you have been having a happy birthday. For the record, I have never used foundation. Well, maybe once for a photo shoot – but I just sat in the chair and let the makeup artist do her thing.

  18. We have a lot in common! Mulan is definitely the best character, I collect journals, and I’m definitely reaching for anything I can find to eat at 4 am 😂😂.

    However, I can’t believe you don’t like s’mores 😩

      It’s so cool to hear that we have lots in common from collecting journals and eating anything within reach at 4am 😂 and exactly…Disney’s Mulan is the best, she is a badass! 🤩 So sorry for to disappoint about not liking s’mores – I LOVE graham crackers and chocolate (cannot get enough!), but not marshmallows…is there a way to have s’mores without the marshmallows? 😅

      Hope everything is well with you and this month is treating you kindly 🤗✨ Sending you lots of love!
