Courtney and I met through a book swap over at Blonde Undercover Blonde and have been in touch ever since. I adore Courtney and was so excited to have her do a Monday of this series!

2. What made you get into blogging? And inspired your blog’s name?
I got into blogging because I started reading so many blogs that I enjoyed that I thought "why not start my own?". My boyfriend actually helped me pick out my blog name...it's supposed to be a play on words...life is not well expected, there are always curve balls and things you don't "expect" so that's what inspired my blog name.
3. What do you enjoy most about the blog world? Have you been a part of it for long or just starting out?
I'm still pretty new to the blog world but so far I have enjoyed the great sense of community among bloggers. People are so sweet and encouraging and I love that!
4. What do you find yourself blogging about most of the time?
I really just blog about the daily happenings of life! I like to do link-ups because that gives me ideas for posts and then from there I just pretty much post about things that go on in my life. =)
5. If you had an endless budget…what store would you spend hours shopping in?
Target for sure would be a store on the list haha. And beyond that, I really like Ann Taylor Loft and Gap.
6. How do you spend a typical Sunday?
I don't think I will have any more typical Sundays haha. I'll now be working on Sundays since weekends are the busiest at Disneyland. But before Disneyland, a typical Sunday would probably be running errands, grocery shopping, watching tv, resting, or dance rehearsal.
7. What song would be the theme song to your life, right now?
Hmm...I could be totally corny and say "A Whole New World" from Aladdin =)
8. Tell us about your absolute must-have item in your closet.
A white tank top. I have one from Loft and Gap and I could probably use about 5 more haha. I wear them under almost every shirt I own.
9. Let us know some of your
favorites. Favorite food, favorite book, favorite movie, favorite TV show,
favorite color, favorite place to visit…now
go!
Favorite food - macaroni and cheese, I'm a 5 year old I know...but now I have to eat gluten free mac-n-cheese.
Favorite book - The Hunger Games Series or anything by Nicholas Sparks
Favorite movie - I really don't think I can pick one...I like too many! Tangled, Center Stage, Water for Elephants...
Favorite TV show - Dance
Moms! Haha...I'm a total tv junkie though so my other favorites are New
Girl, The Big Bang Theory, Revenge, Modern Family, and So You Think You
Can Dance
Favorite color - pink
Favorite place to visit - Disneyland!!
10. If you could switch
lives with ANYONE for the day, who would it be and why?
Selena Gomez! I think she is super adorable and seems really genuine and sweet.
11. What inspires you? {this
can be about anything…blogging, life, crafts, etc..}
My
mom inspires me. She rarely sits still, is always volunteering, is a
wonderful Kindergarten teacher, a fantastic momma and is always thinking
of others. She is a total hippie too and is all about being green and
saving the earth ;) She has always been supportive of what I want to do
in life and I really admire that.
12. What is your favorite
trend for the upcoming spring/summer months?
I'm really loving all of the coral. I got coral hangers at Target for my new closet =)
13. Name a product you use
daily and would recommend to your best friend.
Mac
Paint Pot in the bare color. This stuff is awesome! I use it as a base
for my eyeshadow and it makes my eyeshadow stay on forever! When I'm
lazy at night and don't wash my face, when I wake up in the morning my
shadow and liner are STILL on!
14. What are your favorite
types of blogs to read? (i.e. fashion, home decorating, crafting, running, cooking,

ReplyDeleteGood morning!! I also guest posted for Erin and wrote about a winery. Mine is in Wisconsin though. Not quite as fancy as napa. People will think that erin's readers are a bunch of winos and I don't even drink! I enjoyed meeting Courtney. I'm always looking for new blogs.
