20 Things You Might NOT Know About Me {tag}

I’m it! My dear sweet friend, Abby from Abby, Always has tagged me for the 20 Things You Might Not Know About Me tag.  I’m happy to play along and share a little bit about me with you 😉   I hope you will visit Abby, she’s one of the sweetest bloggers EVER, heart of gold and style forever.

How tall are you? I say I’m 5’2, but I might possibly really be 5’1

Do you have a hidden talent? If so, what? My husband says I shouldn’t blog about that… sooooo….  ;D Get your mind out of the gutter!! I do voices, but some people may get offended by how awesome I can hold down an English accent being you know, American.

What’s your biggest blog-related pet peeve? Thanklessness.  I’m thankful for anyone who takes time out of their day to visit me here, tweet me, share, or interact on some level; I TRULY APPRECIATE it, and try to thank everyone with a simply thank you or gesture of thanks.  When people do not do the same… 🙁

What’s your biggest non-blog related pet peeve?  Bad manners, excuse me, thank you, and pardon me go a loooooong way, chivalry doesn’t have to die, friends. G’day!

What’s your favorite song? I cannot just chose one: Let’s Get It On- Marvin Gaye  * Somewhere Over The Rainbow- Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwoʻole’s * Imagine-John Lennon * No Me Queda Mas- Selena * Nas-Ether * What A Beautiful World- Louis Armstrong      * The Christmas Song- Nat King Cole*  Zion- Lauryn Hill * and countless mariachi songs that played Sunday mornings in my home growing up.  {Truly, my list could keep going…}

What’s your favorite Etsy shop that isn’t yours? I LOVE Etsy!! There was a time that I spent HOURS on Etsy, it was my Pinterest.  I use to window shop online via Etsy… I still do, but not on the same level. Right now, I’m L O V I N G Lisa Ferrante’s work!!! I found her via Pinterest,  I fell in love and pinned her Frida Kahlo print, I was considering purchasing the print for my bedroom makeover, BUT when I went back to purchase it… GONE!  Obviously, I wasn’t the only one coveting this print 🙁

A shop I’ve loved for the longest time Alma Boheme , I absolutely adore Alma’s work.  I follow Alma on Twitter and Instagram, it’s such a pleasure to get to know the artist behind the work.  Her Instagram is beautiful, she shares pictures of her work, her beautiful babies, and her Captain’s work too 🙂  {P.S. She has a Instagram giveaway going on, all you have to do is leave a comment on the giveaway image}  If you visit Alma don’t forget to wish her Happy Birthday!

What’s your favorite way to spend your free time when you’re alone? Alone.  Hmmmm….  writing, reading, and watching.

What’s your favorite junk food? Oh, I loved Abby’s pick of fries, I’m such a sucker for a fry.  Like I told her fries are my kryptonite. I would say salsa and chips, but I don’t find salsa and chips in the  junk food category.  I only eat the good stuff 😉  Cookies… are cookies junk food?  If so, then cookies, but good cookies, not cookies in a box, fresh cookies, please! I felt your eye roll, I’m a cookie snob what can I say?

Do you have a pet or pets? If so, what kind and what are their names? Yes! I have one fur baby he’s my little writing companion. He’s half English Bulldog/half Pug. #PugLife Baby!

You want to kiss him, you want to hug him, you want to love him… I know you do.

What are your number one favorite nonfiction and fiction books? Let’s go with currently…

What’s your favorite beauty product? This one’s a toss up between Burt’s Bee Lip Shimmer and Tarte’s Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara.

When were you last embarrassed? What happened? Well, thankfully the Cloud, hasn’t failed me…  🙂

If you could only drink one beverage (besides water) for the rest of your life, what would it be? Warm vodka left in the back of my trunk. Kidding! No water!?! I know most people gather I drink coffee all day, but honestly I can chug down water like a 1999ish keg party. I would go with coffee or tea.  I can drink either hot or cold.

What’s your favorite movie? Geee… I don’t know?  I usually pick funny movies to watch. If Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, or Will Ferrell are in it, I’m watching.  One movie that I plan on watching again is, Life is Beautiful, I haven’t seen it in years, and I keep telling my husband he has to watch it (just found out it’s free via Amazon Prime). I remember after I saw it for the first time, I made my parents watch it, it just touched my heart.  Not funny, but good movie>> The Cinderella Man, have you seen it?

What were you in high school: prom queen, nerd, cheerleader, jock, valedictorian, band geek, loner, artist, prep? I don’t know, the girl who got along with everybody, as long as that somebody didn’t rub me or friends the wrong way…. LIBRA LOYAL.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? This is an ongoing question at the AOK house, the answer changes from time to time. I’d love to say Texas, but I’m not sure anymore.  I miss Texas often, especially my family, I also miss the culture, the heart, and dear lawd I miss the food.

PC or Mac? Mac

Last romantic gesture from spouse?  My honey does lots of little things to make me special all the time, I’m lucky like that.  He’s my biggest supporter– no doubt.  This weekend, he even made me Paleo cinnamon rolls, so I didn’t feel left out when the rest of the Fab Five at his jumbo homemade cinnamon rolls with all the gluten. Now, that’s love… I find that romantical.

Favorite celebrity? I don’t have a favorite celebrity…but there’s always Ryan

What blogger do you secretly want hangout with and become friends with? Yikes! This is tough, and in my own mind I’m friends with everyone.  I’m going to say Trisha from Eat Your Beets.  I follow her on Instagram, and her pictures and words are AMAZING.  I want her to pack my lunches and make me Paleo cinnamon rolls too.

Thanks, for tagging me, Abby!! Now who to pass this on to… how about my  “friend”… Trisha?
