1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?

Oh gosh, very very very straight! 

2. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?

Salon. Though I don't do it as much as I should. Luckily, I keep my color only about 2 shades lighter than my natural hair color, so you really don't notice that much of a difference.

3. Do you wear the same style everyday, or do you change it?

I would say I pretty much stick to the same style. Somewhere between boho and classic.

4. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?

All on my own! Although pedis are one thing I love in the spring and summer!

5. How often do you change your nail polish?

Probably once a week.

6. Do you polish your toes in the winter or just the summer?

Definitely keep them polished. Usually OPI's Vodka and Caviar. Favorite red of all time!

7. How long does it take for you to put on makeup?

Depending on what I'm doing, somewhere between 15 and 40 minutes. I also watch YouTube videos while getting ready, so that's a bit of a time suck I'm sure!

8. What do you do first? Face or eyes?

Face. Although I hear it's better to do eyes first in case of fallout. 

9. Do you collect makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?

I would say I 'collect', although not quite as much as others I have seen.

10. How often do you wear false eyelashes?

Very rarely. I have been blessed with pretty long lashes. Although they are blonde, so mascara is almost always a must for me. Before my wedding 3 years ago, I did start having lash extensions done.  I was absolutely addicted; they look amazing. Although cost wise, it just didn't make sense to keep having them done. Especially since I had great lashes to start with!

11. Do you do a full face of makeup everyday?

Absolutely not, give your face some breathing time!

12. Do you wear makeup when you're home alone or with family?

If I'm not going anywhere, no.

13. Will you leave the house without makeup?

Almost yes. I always put on a swipe of mascara. Blonde problems. I'll be brave on rare occasions and go bare faced.

14. How many high-end products do you have?

I have quite a few, but definitely have more drugstore items.

15. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you're getting dressed?

I decide while I'm getting dressed unless if it's for an occasion where I want to have everything planned out ahead of time.

16. How often do you change your handbag?

Every couple of months. I do always go between a larger and smaller bag though. I'll empty necessities into the smaller bag for a night out.

17. What time do you wake up and go to sleep?

I wake up around 7:30 and go to sleep around 11.

18. How often or when do you workout?

I workout 5-6 days a week. I've recently started working out more at home. But for the most part I workout at our local gym and do 60 minutes of cardio and then the weight 'circuit'

19. Left handed or right handed?

Right!

20. How tall are you?

6' … and the shortest child in the family!

21. Do you speak any foreign languages?

I minored in Spanish Language and Literature in college and at a time considered myself decently fluent. But as the years have gone by, I haven't retained much. I'd really like to start speaking again and regain my skill!

22. How many pets do you have?

2, a 7 yr old lab/collie mix and a 4 yr old chocolate lab. Maggie May and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds!

23. How often are you on Blogger?

Everyday!

24. Do you read comments posted on blogs?

Yes, almost always. Especially if they accompany an interesting post. 

25. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?

My 'list' is usually my Sephora cart if it's a high end product, and if it's not available at Sephora, I keep a note in my phone.

26. How did you come up with your blog name?

Well, I'm a Baltimore native and very proud of my city…and I'm also married!

27. What kind of camera do you use for your photographs?

Right now a Canon Powershot along with my iPhone 4S. Although my amazing husband just purchased me a new Nikon D5200 DSLR. So excited!

28. How often do you clean your house?

Everyday. I figure a little bit of cleaning everyday beats doing a major overhaul once a week.

29. What's your favorite color?

 Definitely green!

30. Do you swear?

Yes, sadly. No judgments!

31. What are you doing with the rest of your day?

Well, I'm scheduling this post to go up tomorrow, so I'm getting ready to hit 'Publish' and watch a movie in bed with my husband <3
