Formspring is an online platform where you can ask me anything, anonymously.
Completely anonymously, and no, I cannot magically see who wrote what they did (but yes I will delete your question if it's rude or mean).
Formspring is a great social media tool that I have been using for a while to answer questions you lovely readers might have. I know other bloggers who have it and I have used it to ask them questions myself.
The hardest part about connecting through my blog with you is that I'm not sure if you'll come back and read a response comment with regards to your question, or sometimes certain people don't have blogs so when I check your profile, there is nowhere for me to 'respond'. Twitter works but not everyone has twitter. You don't need to have Formspring to ask questions, which is the beauty.
So, ask away.
Post a Comment
I recently discovered the 'Comments' tab within blogger and realized I can view all my most recent comments (doesn't matter what post it was left on) without having to open up each post. Many of you are probably saying, 'Duh!' right now, but I didn't know!
Reading through your comments totally brighten my day and you, my lovely readers, are so sweet. I am so grateful for each and every comment you leave. Thank you for coming to my blog, commenting and interacting with me. I love blogging and knowing you love my blogging too, makes it all the better.
I just wanted to mention that I have noticed (I have missed several) comments left where a question has been asked. I typically don't respond in the comments section as I'm not one to go back to see if a blogger responded to me there. I'll try to go to your blog and respond but often times the commenter doesn't have a blog. I just wanted to remind you that you can always ask me (anonymously too, i$ you'd like) questions through my Formspring page. It's easiest for me (and you) as all the Q's & A's are in one place. So feel free to use that.
Thank you again for reading, it really means so so soo much to me. xo
Thanks for you questions and comments on my 'Responding to You' post - I loved your questions. If you had a question and didn't get it in on time, visit my Formspring page where you can ask anonymously. Onto the answers!
1. I always wonder are your the third person from the left in the picture above with your blog name? Thank you! That isn't me, but she does have a great booty and tiny waist. I also really dig her kicks. (For the record, none of them are me)
2. Which is your favorite store/site to buy affordable shoes? Urban Original
3. What do you do for a job? I'm an Executive Assistant.
4. Do you want any kids? Yes, two, but not anytime soon.
5. Do you have any wild and crazy blog goals? ie - do you want to monetize, ever do blogging as a living? I would love to blog for a living (is that possible?) but am very happy to have it as a hobby / passion. As far as monetizing, yes, that'd obviously be great (make some money while doing something I love? Um, does it get more awesome than that?) but nothing wild and crazy. I want to improve the esthetic of my blog, learn better HTML and pull in a bigger audience.
7. What's your favorite part about Canada? I haven't traveled much in Canada but I love summer where I live. It gets super hot (30 degrees C, or more) and there is beautiful scenery.
8. What's the biggest rumor you hear about Americans? (Caitlin!) How do I know if it's a rumour or not? I'm Canadian! Just kidding. Probably that all Americans are overweight. I mean, that's obviously not true but I personally do enjoy the massive portion sizes (for cheap) you get in restaurants down there.
9. How do u get motivated to work out? Ugh, certainly not easy on most days. I think finding something you love to do helps; for me that's mainly classes (Zumba, BodyPump, Spinning, etc.). I like having someone yell at me and keep me focused. Being surrounded by others doing the same thing pushes me. Also, I love working out with a friend. It's not a social thing, it's more of a they-are-counting-on-me-to-be-there thing, and it helps because we are motivating each other. However, I do mainly work out alone.
Often times I get comments or questions from you lovely readers in the comment section of my blog, which I love, but am always puzzled by how to respond. I don't like responding in the comment section because personally I don't go back to other people's blogs to see if they responded to me there, and typically try to respond on their blogs. However, there are some of you who either don't have blogs or post anonymously. and then I can't communicate with you. However, I'd love to open up this post for some random questions that I can answer in a seperate post.
For instance, someone anonymously asked me how I stay 'so slim and beautiful' when I eat so much 'fried calamari'. I'm super flattered (thank you) and I don't eat that much calamari. I do love treats, I love to indulge and I love to eat what I want, when I want, but I do work hard to stay healthy. Perfect body? Not by a long shot, but I watch what I eat (for instance, if I've been eating too many treats, I'll go back to eating clean and cut out treats for a couple days - which believe me, is difficult!), I do work out (even though I'm often dragging my butt to the gym with mad resistance) and always try to get extra steps in by taking the stairs, parking far away, etc. Every little bit helps.
So, I'm all ears, let's hear it, ask away.
You can always:
* ask me through Formspring
* contact me on Twitter
* send me an email (psst, it's on the sidebar)
PS - If no one asks anything, this is going to be suuuper awkward. I'll be like that one kid waiting for her friends to show up and everyone played a mean trick. Um. Humour me?

I have a few magazine subscriptions, but my favourite by far is InStyle. Each month, they quiz a fave celeb with the same questions. So for now, we're going to pretend I'm that celebrity and here are my answers...
I kick-start my day with... two pieces of 12-grain toast, smothered with peanut butter and a peppermint tea.
Other daily essentials... my iPhone, lip gloss, and several snacks.
Recent splurge... even though it was two months ago, has to be the Christian Louboutin shoes I bought for my wedding.
Dreaming about... summer (isn't that terrible!?). I saw the first snowflakes of the season tonight, I'm dreading what's coming.
Beauty indulgence... weekly spray tanning sessions.
Can't stop watching... Dexter. The fifth season just started and hubs and I love that show.
Top shop... H&M, although we don't have one in this city, I die for that store.
Working out to... Zumba classes are my fave - latin-inspired dance class with reggaeton & hip hop? I'm in.
Signature scent... I like to mix it up, especially with the seasons. Right now it's cK IN 2 U, Burberry Brit & Jessica Simpson Fancy.
You won't find me... bungee jumping. The thought of that terrifies me.
I heart... my new husband.
The lovely Emily of Emily Loves tagged me to answer some questions. Since I'm always up for some blogger tagging, let's go:
Do you like your height? Would you rather be taller/shorter/stay the same?
I don't mind being 5'11, but would ideally like to be a little shorter so I would receive less flack about wearing such high heels all the time!
Most daring thing you've ever done?
Cliff jumping
Are you more of a cold weather or hot weather person?
Hot weather, all the way. While I can't handle extreme heat very well, I do not enjoy the winter (despite being a snowboarder)
Do you like doing makeup on others or just yourself?
Just myself. Make-up isn't a super strong point for me, I can do it, but don't have a huge interest (clothes and shoes are more my thing ;)
Celeb crush?
T.I.
Have you ever broken a bone?
Yes - my head (car accident) and right wrist (snowboarding), and I'm right-handed :S
Favourite personality trait in yourself?
Caring - I always try to go above and beyond for my friends and familly. I hope they feel the same!
Team Edward or Team Jacob?
I've never seen Twilight (sorry Em!)
1. If I could medal in an olympic event it would be snowboarding because I do it, but to be that good would be fantastic.
2. If I was stranded on a deserted island I'd take my fiancée, food, toothbrush (& paste!), and music.
3. Spiders are my most irrational fear.
4. I'd rather sleep in and go shopping everyday, than get up early and go to work everyday.
5. I am hungry as soon as I wake up. (same!)
6. I should really be workinggg.
7. One of my favourite things in all the world is dessert!
