11 things you might not know about me followed by 11 questions Cassie posted. :)
1. I am not a morning worker-outer, despite many feeble attempts at morning gym classes. I'm actually not much of a morning person at all for that matter.
2. The first thing I do every morning (after hitting snooze twice) is say good morning to Gracie dog and kiss her on her little furry head. :)
3. I like hard candy, gummy worms, etc, more than I like chocolate.
4. My least favorite household chores are taking out the trash and putting away clean dishes. (Fav chores: laundry & vacuuming).
5. When I'm really upset or worked up about something, the number one thing I want to do is take a nap.
6. I used to really want to open my own greeting card store with cards especially designed for awkward occasions. (Thank gosh for someecards and bluntcards).
7. I can't stand dry skin and am therefore addicted to moisturizer.
8. I love conspiracy theory and spy stuff-shows, movies, books, dateline specials.. you name it.
9. I get gym anxiety at new classes and/or gyms, which is why sticking with crossfit is as big of an accomplishment for me as the workout itself. ha! Seriously, I can walk into almost any situation blind and be fine, but a new gym freaks me out!
10. I've never been fishing. Camp Fire didn't let us use real hooks, so we "mock" fished... haha.. Probably safer, but that's as close as I ever got. (I'd love to learn, though!)
11. I used to teach power aquacise (fancy name for water aerobics) at the YWCA in college.
And here are the questions Cassie posted:
Public Relations/Communications. Also have my law degree & license. :)
2. How would you describe your style? Whatever I tried to copy from Pinterest. Teasing (kinda). I tend to go with classic, more solid pieces and switch things up with colorful/patterned scarves a lot. I used to wear all black and grey, but have made an effort to add color and patterns to my life.. haha... My style-inspirating celebs I repeatedly pin are Nicole Richie and Reese Witherspoon.3. What one make-up product can you not live without?
Lip gloss. Hands down.
4. If you could be besties with one celebrity, who would it be?
Mila Kunis seems to be pretty cool. I'll go with her. Or Reese Witherspoon.
5. What is your dream vacation?
So hard! I want to go so many places! Maybe Australia/New Zealand. Or South America (Brazil). Or Thailand. Blerg. I'm indecisive.
6. What magazines do you subscribe to?
Real Simple, Glamour, Cosmo.
7. If you could have a special talent {that you don't currently have}, what would it be?
I wish I could
8. What is your favorite breakfast food?
Nature Valley granola bars.
9. If you could do anything, what is your dream job?
If I could do anything, it would be kinda cool to be a travel blogger/writer and get paid to visit some awesome places! :)
10. What is your guilty pleasure?
Makeup, especially lip gloss. I wander Ulta or Sephora to make a bad mood turn better. :)
11. What is the best piece of advice you've ever received, and who gave it to you?
This is a tough one, but the one that keeps coming to mind as I sit here and think is "Beauty is only skin deep." My mom used to say that to me all the time (along with a host of other things when I was a teenager). That quote plus lots of other similar thoughts she shared really taught me to work on being kind, well-rounded, thoughtful, etc. My mom has always been really great at reminding me what truly matters in life whenever I get consumed by things that don't.
Soooo now I get to tag 11 ladies! I'm using the same 11 questions above. Just like Cassie said, it won't hurt my feelers if you don't participate. This is just for fun. :)

haha, so funny that you say the gym classes make you anxious-- I was JUST telling Mere that I feel the same way the other day. There are two classes at my gym that I really want to try, but I get all nervous/anxious about walking in for the first time (like, what do I wear, am I supposed to bring something, what if don't know what they're telling me to do, etc). I just need to suck it up and go!
AHH I'm the worst with new gyms!! I've been putting off joining the one right down the street from my apartment because I'm too nervous! :-\
Yes to Thailand and move it to #1!! AND when I read this post I thought I saw taking out trash as your fav chore, and almost died. When I re-read it, it made more sense :)
I am nervous about taking new gym classes too! I really want to try pilates but I always chicken out.
This was cute!! I hit my snooze button more times than I can count most mornings but I work nights so getting up in the morning is never good!!
I wish I could take pure barre...everybody on the blogworld talks about it and it's not offered around my little town :(
Thanks friend! I'll totally play along! :)
I'm with you on the morning thing. NOT. A. FAN. I love the lesson your mom taught you! SO TRUE!!! :)
Ok...what?!?? You've NEVER been fishing? You must go. Have your bait the hook for ya because that can be a bit gross. But it's really relaxing & enjoying.
I am so with you on the hard candy/gummy worms over chocolate! :)
Don't hate me friend but I'll have to play along once I get back from Jamaica! I totally agree with you on the dream job though!
Thanks so much for tagging me =) And, I have to agree; pursuing Ulta or Sephora is the best!
so fun --- thanks for the tag :) I totally love your dream job -- that would be a tough gig, huh? :) and, your momma sounds like a pretty amazing lady. i kind of love the special bond you guys have and hope that Ava and i will have that one day!!!
I love Mila Kunis and Reese Witherspoon! I especially think Reese would be so cool in real life - she seems so down to earth!
Yea! Thanks for the tag. I'm working on it now...
I'm not really a morning gym person either...but I think I'm better at it than the evening time because in the evening its super busy and by the end of the day I just want to go home and eat:)And with it being so busy in the evening...I get anxiety just trying to find a parking spot. And I totally think you should open a card store...I love the awkward cards...there aren't enough out there:)
This is so cute! And I am SOOO not a morning person either, I have tried so many times to go running in the morning and I just can't for the life of me...do you think there is some trick to turning that switch? It'd be more convenient...
