Bonjourno!
It is now May and all of the rain of April has finally brought about flowers. This week I decided to change things up and make a post that is based around me.
You’ve all seen those videos where a person from Vogue goes to a famous person’s home and asks them a bunch of questions (73 specifically) while following them with a camera so that the world may know them, better, so I decided that I’m going to do that. Well, without the stranger inside my house.

Some time ago I was tagged by Kimberly from All In with Kimmie L to answer these questions inspired by Vogue. I thought it was a fun way to not only ‘meet’ new bloggers but also to share a bit about myself with you. I’ll try to keep my answers short and sweet, just like the famous film stars do.
Brace yourself it is a long post, in the end, I will be tagging a few other bloggers… so ready? set. GO!
