Also the lovely Kris from I Heart Wellness gave me a BLOG AWARD!

There are some Rules and Guidelines for this Award:

1. Thank the beautiful person who presented you with this award

2. Tell 7 things about yourself

3. Pass the award on to 10 bloggers who you have recently discovered, and think are fantastic!

So here it is……….

1. I am a reality TV junkie – Real Housewives, Hell’s Kitchen, ANTM, Bachelorette… love them!!

2. I used to run… I’ve done a 10km, 8km and a few 5km races.  I am SUPER slow, but I did it!!  Now I need to find the inspiration to get back to it again.

3. I am an only child.  Sometimes I wish I had a brother or sister, but then I turn around and think I would be completely happy having 1 baby!

4.  I bought my own condo when I was 27.  It was super cute.  Stainless steel appliances, gorgeous mountain view and funky updates.  I still own it, but rent it out to an awesome tenant!

5. I have been working with kids and special needs kids/adults for over 12 years.  (Besides Dave) It’s the love of my life!  I feel like I come alive around kids!!  It’s a very easy/natural job for me!!

6. I LOVE getting emails!  I check my email a million times per day, just in case I get a good one!! (Facebook too)

7. I broke my front tooth 2 times.  It’s still not fixed properly and drives me crazy, especially in pictures.  But I am trying to embrace it as me.  (Just hoping I can do some photo shopping to my wedding photos)

Now onto 10 bloggers, I love!!!!!! 

One of my newest and most favourite bloggers! Char from Char’s Kitchen! She’s upbeat and has awesome raw recipes on her site!

  1. Congratulations to you on your award - you SO deserve it! And wow, thank you so much for passing it along to me. I'm blushing! :-)

    I LOVE learning random fun facts about people, and yours are great! I am SO impressed you bought your own condo at 27. WOW. I dream of owning my own house with a bit of land someday, it must be the most amazing feeling.

    And I LOVE emails and messages, too, and yes, I check the computer a zillion times a day. Isn't technology the best? Speaking of....why aren't we friends on facebook yet!!?!

    And don't you dare waste another second worrying about your tooth. First of all, I bet it's only noticeable to you, and second of all, even if it's not, I bet it makes you look cute and gorgeous! Embrace your fabulousness, lady!

  6. congrats on your book...you are going to LOVE THAT BOOK!!!!! i read mine like a novel LOL

    and your award, amazing facts and amazing girls you passed it onto. I know most of them!

    hair color. it's called high lift color. it's basically going to be able to do almost what bleach can do in terms of lifting/blonding you, but not using bleach. way safer for your hair and you are already so light, it will lift up in a snap for you. ask your stylist for it. They will try to tell you bleach is better, blah blah, but high lift just saves my hair from being too processed!
