My Q & A:
1. Do you like reading? If so what’s your favorite book?
I do! I love reading, my favorite book has to be hands down Malcom Gladwell's books. They're so good, they're a mix of science and psychology. So interesting! My Favorite: Outliers
2. What inspired your blog name?
It took me a while to come up with my blog name. I wanted my blog to evoke that emotion when you get something on sale or find a killer deal at the flea market or thrift store. It's a huge thrill and I love it even more when it's an item that makes me feel luxurious. I live for these thrills!
3. If you could trade lives with a celebrity for one day who would it be and why?
Hmmm.. I would have to choose Rihanna, I would love to check out her closet!
4. What is your favourite blog post you’ve ever written?
I would have to say it's my most recent blog post about being carefree & forgiving. I really believe we can be hard on ourselves as humans and we don't realize. It's part diary entry part therapy session. Basically, my way of getting people to be ok with feeling a certain way.
5. Whats one thing immediately puts a smile on your face?
My family dogs or dogs in general :)
6. What was your inspiration to start blogging?
My inspiration was creating a space where I could share my love for thrifting & show people that even if you have very little to work with in terms of money, you don't have to spend alot to look stylish.
7. If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life what would it be?
Pizza.
8. What is the best TV series you have ever watched?
Sex & The City, I mean you can't mess with a classic. It's the perfect combination: fashion, real life & NYC.
9. Are you a cat or dog person?
See question 5. Dog person all the way.
10. What is your favourite song at the moment and why?
I'm addicted to listening to Wild Thoughts by Rihanna, DJ Khaled & Bryson Tiller. It's partly because Rihanna is going through this truly IDGAF moment and I'm joining her. hahaha!
