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!

Simple Daisy – not like any other blog that I read, but she creates such beautiful things. I am inspired by her every time I see a new blog post!  (plus she’s an ocean girl like me!)

Happy Healthy Hottie.  What can I say, sweetest girl around! Her positive body imagine is amazing.  Another inspiration.

Tracey at Tropical Happiness!!  I love Tracey, because I could totally see us being friends in real life!  There are just some people you can tell… she’s one of them!  Plus, she posts some of the most amazing photos of her gorgeous tropicalness! haha

  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!
