Have y’all ever watched one of Vogue’s 73 questions videos? I’m really not that in-tune to pop culture but love learning more about the celebrities they interview through that series. It’s also fun given that they tend to walk the viewers through their home or office while simultaneously doing the interview. I’m certainly not a celebrity and didn’t have a camera crew to follow me around while answering 73 questions, but I did see Elle of The Champagne Edit answer 73 questions about herself and thought it was such a fun idea for a post that I had to copy her. I try to do a Q&A once a month (don’t worry, I’m already working on coming up with answers for the questions you’ve asked for July) but thought this would be a welcome addition as well. So, here goes nothing…
1. What is something that you can’t live without? A sound machine while I sleep.
2. What is a secret talent of yours? This is about to sound so silly, but I am really good at grabbing the right number of hangers for clothes that need to be hung up after getting them out of the dryer. I know that is not what this question probably was meaning by talent but it’s the first thing that came to mind and I don’t really have any stage talents per se.
3. What are 3 words to describe yourself? Poised, Sarcastic, Thoughtful.
4. Where do you get inspiration from? Podcasts, Instagram, and Pinterest.
5. What is your favorite animal? Rabbits, Zebras, Dogs.
6. What is your favorite snack food?Smart Food White Cheddar Popcorn, but I can’t keep it around because I will undoubtedly eat the entire bag.
7. What is your favorite piece of makeup? Charlotte Tilbury Healthy Glow Moisturizer.
8. What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? Hmm, I don’t really know. Maybe “have fun.” That probably sounds a little lame but it’s what my parents always would tell me before I’d leave to head back to school. They knew that I took my studies pretty seriously, so it always came as a nice reminder not to take anything too seriously and to make sure to add plenty of fun into my schedule.
9. What is the last book that you read? An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena.
10.What is your favorite genre of music? In the summer, definitely country.
11.What celebrity do you want to be BFF’s with? Reese Witherspoon.
12.What is your biggest regret? I don’t know if this counts as a regret, but losing all the pictures I took from when I studied abroad for a month in Paris and London is definitely high on that list.
13.What is one thing on your bucket list? I made a list of 101 things here so any of those would work!
14.What is your favorite quote? I don’t have a favorite, but I’ll work on it.

24.What is something that you can’t do but wish you could? Sing. I am so tone deaf that I get embarrassed singing happy birthday to other people.
25.What is a bad habit of yours? Lately I’ve been really bad about waving my hand (albeit discreetly) in an attempt to speed people along in traffic. I blame 280 in Birmingham for this but it’s definitely not the best habit and I should probably work on breaking it.
26.If you could have someone else’s closet, whose would it be? I’m not as up to date on famous people as I should be so I have no idea.
27.Favorite way to spend a rainy day? Movies, pajamas, a good book, and tasty food.
28.What is an ideal date? For a first date I like starting at one place for drinks and then migrating somewhere else for dinner if it’s going well. It’s a good way to change up the scenery and give you more to talk about if there’s a lull.
29.Where is your favorite place to be? In the summer I love being at my grandparent’s beach house. It’s hard not to feel relaxed there and it holds lots of great memories since I’ve made the trek there every summer since I was born.

41.If you had a tattoo, what would it be and where would it be? A tattoo isn’t something I’ve ever wanted but if I had to get one it would probably be something very small in a discreet location. Not sure what exactly it would be, probably something that held sentimental value.
