1. What lipstick are you wearing in most of your pictures?

My favorite lipstick that I wear in majority of my pictures is the shade Naked by Urban Decay with a Buxom Lip Gloss in shade Trixie.

2. How do I get my blonde hair color?

I actually have a blog post with my hair stylist that goes through all of the steps she takes to achieve my color. I also use Moroccan Oil Color Complete Shampoo and Conditioner every time I wash my hair and to keep my hair from getting brassy I use Fanola No Yellow Shampoo once a week.

3. Do I wear extensions?

Yes. I wear two clips of clip-in extensions when I curl my hair. I like how it gives me more body and volume. However, they’re the same length as my natural length.

4. How do I get the volume in my ponytails?

I use this Drybar Texture spray and I think this helps a lot! I also tease the base of my hair with this brush and use a small hair tie. I also take a small piece out of my pony tail and wrap it around the hair tie and pin it. I am in the works of making a video on the process!

5. What style are your eyeglasses?

My eyeglasses are Michael Kors and they’re in the stye MK4048.

6. What skincare products do you currently use?

I just started using Beauty Counters Counter Control Collection and it’s wonderful. I have semi-oily skin and all of their products are completely matte. It has made my skin feel and look great ever since I’ve been using it. I would highly recommend.

7. My top beauty products?

I have a blog post with all of my favorite beauty products of 2018 that I will link here. However I just picked up this Too Faced Born this Way Foundation and I will let you know what I think.

8. How tall are you?

This is by far one of my most asked questions. I am 5’3.

9. Where are your favorite places to shop?

Nordstrom is probably my favorite store because it has EVERYTHING and free shipping. I also love Shopbop, H&M, Chicwish, Red Dress Boutique and Goodnight Macaroon. I also really love finding boutiques that carry unique items that you can’t find in popular stores.

10. Do you get lash extensions?

I do! I love getting lash extensions because they make getting ready so much faster! I get my lashes done at Root Salon in Wauseon, Ohio. They’re the best!

11. Is blogging your full-time job.

No, it’s not. I edit full-time for a company called 9to5toys.com. Here is a link to check out some of my posts.

12. What is your advice for new bloggers?

Be consistent and don’t give up! Blogging is definitely a creative outlet and by putting out positive and authentic material is my best advice. Also, I know this is hard, but another great tip is to try not to compare yourself to others.

13. Who takes your pictures?

My husband takes almost all of my pictures and when he can’t I usually will ask my mom or sister-in-laws. I also occasionally will hire a local photographer for bigger campaigns.

I honestly appreciate every single person who has followed along with me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Also, let me know in the comments below if you would like me to do more Q&A posts like this. I hope you all have a great week!

XOXO,
