Hey friends! This week I’ve been nominated for a Liebster Award. For those not spending much time in the blogosphere world, it’s an award passed among bloggers as a show of support for our favorite blogs!
I was nominated by Sweet Sunsets and Pura Vida: thanks Macarena!
Interview questions:
Where are you from?
I grew up in Durham, North Carolina and have lived their most of my life. I think of myself as somewhat southern: I’m addicted to sweet tea and think “y’all” is the best word for the job, but I don’t have the adorable accent. However, I was born in Hawaii and love that I’ve got a little aloha in me!
What is your favorite destination?
Ash too hard! I’m hoping my next major trip will take me to Africa somewhere for a safari adventure, but realistically that’s not happening this year. My favorite place I’ve ever been has to be Australia: I nearly moved back after graduating university!
Do you practice any sport? Which one?
I love pickup sports, but let’s just say I’m not the most talented. What I lack in skill I make up for in scrappiness. My favorite is basketball!
Beach or city? Why?
Why pick? Sydney gave me easy access to both! But if I had to choose, probably city. I love the international atmosphere you get in a major metropolitan area: great food, cultural events, and not needing to own a car? Yes, please!
What is your job?
I run a design shop, making stationery and party decorations. You can see my work here!
What is your favorite thing to do?
Travel! I’m obsessed. I’m headed to North Carolina & Virginia in July, and trips to both Montreal and Mexico in the works for this fall!
What is your biggest dream?
Hm, I’m not actually sure. I have a lot of dreams, but no one big overarching one. A few of them include making my design shop successful, someday getting paid to travel, and training my dog to be really well-behaved.
Sweet or Savory food?
Having just finished Whole30, I have to say sweet food. I am unabashedly obsessed with desserts. You can see a few of my favorites here!
What is your favorite restaurant?
Seeing as I live in a tiny town where restaurants aren’t a strong suit, I’ll have to say two of my favorites from my hometown are Shiki Sushi & Angus Barn.
Flip flops or closed shoes?
Flip flops! I have Hawaiian toes – they need to be free!
