Last week I stepped out of the box and asked all of you
to ask me anything, so you could get to know me better. I had a lot of fun answering these questions and though there are a lot on my {hair}, I tried to answer my best however I think I'll be doing a DIY post soon on the curling technique I swear by.
So hang on tight, I'm working on it. There is still time to ask your question{s},
GO HERE to add yours! Until then, have fun!
Here it goes.
1. What is your favorite Zoo Animal?
2. What kind of hair product do you use.
1} I absolutely love the monkeys. All of them. They are hysterical.
They are plain disgusting. But I enjoy watching them. I also love the Giraffes, there is something about them that amazes me.
2} Hair Product. Hmmm...
Being I used to be a hair stylist this should be good. But really... it's not that great.
On a regular basis I shampoo & condition my hair with Redken, Color Extend.
On a shopping trip with a tight budget it's Dove. {I know, go ahead and boo me}
And when my hair is disgusting and needs oxygen {always} I use Wen shampoo & Conditioner - it's way too expensive for me on a regular basis.
I don't usually put anything in my hair on a regular basis.
If I curl my hair, I usually wait three day to wash it. I have super thick hair and it barely gets greasy. Dirty hair holds curl. I absolutely swear by Redken {Spray Starch} if you are one whose hair NEVER holds curls. With the proper curling iron technique, I promise you... it will hold curl.
{key to curling iron curls, never start at the bottom of your hair strand}
For Volume. Okay, so I should have lived in the 80's because I am a rock star at heart. I believe in big hair. I tease my hair. Oh yes, tease it all the way.
However, if my hair is pretty clean I'll use some Redken {Guts 10} for some ump-th in my roots.
This all sounds like so much, but really I don't take a lot of time with my hair.
I wash it. Blow dry the roots. Let the rest air dry and never brush it.
Oh and I love love love love love It's a 10 Products.
Seriously. The leave-in conditioner product will change your life.
Now that I've written a whole post on hair... I'll try to keep the rest to the point.
probably not.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. How do you get your hair so cute?
2. Whats your biggest guilty pleasure?
3. Describe your perfect day.
1} Oh goodness. [blushing]
{Read above}
2} My guiltiest pleasure is definitely crap food.
I'm such a snack-er & love to dine out. If Mexican was healthy, I'd be a rail.
That being said, I really want to learn to live a healthier lifestyle.
Pray for me. I'm six days into living {eating} healthier.
3} My perfect day___________. Are we talking in reality or my pinterest life?
In reality my perfect day would waking up to my husband at one of the old Bed & Breakfasts' downtown Savannah. Breakfast would be waiting for us, ready & hot. I'll take waffles & maple syrup with strawberries on the side. Aaron would be having Eggs, bacon, grits with cheese & toast. He'd want milk, maybe OJ. I'll take a cup of coffee with a small milk on the side. We'd enjoy the peace & quiet while we ate in bed watching re-runs of Reba. {Yes, Reba} We'd take our time getting ready, no rushing or watching the clock is allowed. We'd walk down by the river for a little while listening to the men play their saxophones & flutes as we walk in & out of the shops. We'd picnic in Ellis Square for lunch {in a non-sappy romantic way} or maybe underneath the enormous oak trees watching kids play soccer or Frisbee. Maybe we could practice my kite flying skills too? Enjoying the wonderful company of my husband - talking about anything that crosses our mind. Just enjoying the little things & life in general. There would be great laughter.
Ending my perfect day with a little pool time back at the stay, sipping on cocktails...
winding down. Nothing fancy for dinner. We'd take the pedicab over to Sweet Melissa's
and order a large meat lovers to-go. Back to the B&B we'd go and end the night exactly like we did when we we woke up.... In bed. Only we'd find a new movie to rent on TV.
THAT would be my perfect day. Seriously.
{Notice all the food I talked about}

Beth asked me ALMOST the same thing...
What steps/products do you use in your hair.
Are you really Gluten Free.
1} Haha, everyone is making my blush with all the hair questions.
You guys are ALL too sweet! As far as {steps} goes, I don't really have any.
But since everyone is questioning my hair, I'll do a solo post on ...
maybe how to curl it?
2}Am I gluten-free? Again, only for six days.
Do I have the CD disease, no I do not. I choose to go gluten free because...
a) my cousin lost 30 pounds on it.
That brought my attention closer. I started to ask her questions and guidance about it {no lie} about two months ago because I wanted to loose weight then. Well, since then I've heard more of Gluten Free... pretty everywhere. I listen to the same radio station on my drive to work, Kelly went Gluten Free. I started seeing it everywhere in the grocery stores.
And there was something else that rang a bell to my brain. I don't remember.
I believe in signs. Whether it's true to not, I don't care - but I always chose to believe
I see or hear things for a reason.
I've been wanting to really change my eating lifestyle for forever now.
And since {in all reality} I'm having a weekend trip {involving the beach 7 bathing suits} with 6 other of my middle school friends that I have NOT seen in yyyyyeeeeeeeaaarrrrs, I want to loose weight and learn to control it. {They are all size like... 4, yikes!}
Also, I have horrible acid reflux & my digestive system... sucks!
So, eating healthier and learning to paying attention to what I'm eating will help both of these {major} issues with my body.
So this all brought me to the gluten free diet/lifestyle.
Beth also requested a picture of my red hair.
Yes, this is my natural color hair.
If you follow me on Instagram {@stilettosandafishingpole}
you've seen this....
& I just posted this one as my {a younger you}

Breanna wanted to know what's in my shower?
And also if I had to put a holiday on repeat everyday for the next year what would
it be?
1} My shower... It consists of two Gillette Fusion Razors, {I prefer men's razors, they seem to do much better jobs.} A large tube of Coochy Shave Cream, Men's Dove body wash, Escape bubble bath {scent, island breeze, my favorite}, Redken Color Extend Hair shampoo & conditioner, also dove shampoo & then my newest and latest product that I love is the St. Ives Apricot Face Scrub... Ohhhh It's heaven. From our faucets, I have a one pink bath ball puffy scrub thing & a blue one... for me & for him & can't forget my finger nail scrubber.
2}I'd put my anniversary on repeat.
Pretty funny being we haven't even celebrated our first year yet but I know that
whatever we decide to do it'll be traveling & just the two of us. We plan to travel as much as we can & do as much as possible before having kids.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sarah wanted to know "How do you keep it hot in your marriage?"
I feel so funny answering this because I'm still a newly wed, most people say or think "Oh they are still in the honeymoon stage."
However, I've been with Aaron for a little over 11 years so it definitely has to been freshened up very often.
I try to always pretend we are still dating.
♥ Flirt: whether it be grabbing a hand full of toosh or giving a
sexy wink across the room without anyone else seeing... I believe in flirting.
♥ I try to look cute at home; Yes my make up comes off. No my hair doesn't always look great, most of the time it's wet or balled up in a messy ball however I focus on what I wear around him. I think this is very important.
♥ Change up in the bedroom.
♥ Conversation. Talk but listening is what wins the heart.
...... To be continued for
PART II
next week!
