TAG: Blog Your Heart Out

I was tagged! Horray! This is my first time being tagged and, as you can probably tell, I'm pretty excited about it. First of all, thank you SO much to Sarah from Seriously Shallow for tagging me! Also, I really love the name of her blog. If all blog names were honest, I think they'd all be called 'Seriously Shallow'.

So, now on the questions! In case you're new to tagging, basically there's 5 questions for me to answer and then I tag some others to do the post!

Questions:

1. Who/what encouraged you to start blogging?

This is a good question! I guess I encouraged myself to start blogging? I had always wanted to start a blog I was just a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing. My biggest influences in wanting to start a blog were the other bloggers that I read consistently! Carly from The College Prepster and Emily from Cupcakes & Cashmere are two bloggers that (unknowingly) gave me the push to start blogging! I really admire how they've managed to turn their blogs into a full-blown business. While I don't really see my blog taking off like that, I definitely admire their business-savvy skills! That got a bit off topic, but seeing that drive and love for blogging really turned me on to the idea of starting my own!

2. How did you choose what topics to start blogging about?

I blog about random things that I love! So that's typically a lot of beauty and fashion things and also some recipes and random musings about life thrown in. There's honestly no science behind what I choose to blog about. I don't really do 'research' into trends or what other bloggers are talking about. I just blog about things that I like! 

3. What is something most people don't know about you?

Oh gosh! There are so many things. Probably that I have a deathly fear of choking and issues with claustrophobia. I can't eat hard candy, lollipops or anything of the sort because I'm too afraid of choking. Is that weird? Probably but I just can't do it! And I can't be around someone else when they're eating anything like that either. Also, I get seriously claustrophobic. I'm kind of embarrassed by it, so I try to hide it as much as possible. The whole not being able to breathe thing just really messes with me! I think that explain the fear of choking also.

4. What three words describe your style?

Haha I always struggle to describe my style! Mostly because it changes on an almost daily basis. I guess three words would be: feminine, simple and classic. 

5. What do you love to do when you are not blogging?

Sit in my pajamas, eat ice cream and watch movies. True story! It might sound lame and really unadventurous to some but nothing makes me happier than that!

Ok so that's it! Just five, simple questions! I really like this tag because it's short and sweet but still lets you know a little more about me! So I tag any bloggers reading this that want to share a little more with their readers! Just answer these 5 questions and let me know that you did!

Tag, you're it!
