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.

You guys! Something totally exciting happened to me on Monday night. As some of you know, I do Zumba and have for two years. I absolutely love this cardio work out and as a former dancer, it's awesome to be doing choreographed dance again (unlike when I just randomly dance around the house).
Back to the story exciting-ness.
So I'm in class on Monday, waiting for our teacher to arrive. The class is set to start at 4:30pm, and there are about 30 women waiting. Well, 4:30pm came and went and still no teacher. A few minutes later, an employee of the gym told us our teacher was no where to be found and we could wait, but class would likely be canceled. As we all stood around feeling defeated, one woman pointed at me and said, 'You should teach the class!'. Another chimed in, 'Yeah, you're really good,' and then another, 'Yeah, do it!'. Next thing I know, I'm fetching my iPhone from my locker and hooking it up to the stereo system in the class, jumping on stage and teaching an hour long zumba class. What!? I know.

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?

It's that time: a new month, new resolutions. I figured why not make some resolutions each month (here's the March list), seems more feasible then creating a list for the entire year, no? The whole idea is that the resolutions have to be feasible (and sometimes enjoyable). So what's up, April? Let's do this:
1. Whiten my teeth. I bought Crest White Strips (totally been wanting to try them for a couple years but never pulled the trigger) and am on my way. We'll see what happens. They are on my teeth as I type... they feel funny. Oh, and my teeth are already feeling more sensitive (uh oh).
2. Figure out what the f I'm doing with my hair. Am I going to highlight it (the norm) super blonde or am I going to phase in the ombre look? I'm getting there with the ombre, but at this point it's just really bad roots that look greasy when they're clean.
3. Mail a special package (that's been sitting on my dresser for months) to a special friend (I'm such a procrastinator - ugh).
4. Buy a new car. Okay, this is a pretty big resolution for April but I'm serious about getting a new car and definitely want to have it in time for summer. I'm looking at one model but there are two engine types. I've test driven one and am taking the other out this Wednesday.
5. Make a clutch, a skirt and a scarf. I bought the fabric, now it's go time.
PS - no tights. I've officially ditched the tights. I did it before April too, mainly because I took a trip to Florida and never looked back (slash had a tan... so what if it was a spray tan).
