You wanted to ask me?
I though it would be fun to answer some reader questions in my next post.
Feel free to ask anything as long as it’s not too personal or offensive. I would love to answer your questions 🙂
I hope my fellow bloggers will do this post too, so we can learn more about each other. So TAG! If you are a blogger and also interested in doing this post, please do so 🙂
Thank you for reading 🙂
xoxo,
Veronika.
PS- I totally skipped P90X the last two nights. I have been waking up and going to work early and working late because we a producing a video for a charity benefit and filming all day. After lugging equipment around all day, I feel like I get quite the workout! My husband and I talked abut it, and we decided we aren’t going to 100% follow the program because it’s just not super realistic for our lifestyle. Sorry Tony Horton, but we might only be able to be “X”treme 4 days a week instead of 6!
Since I'm new…what do you do? Workwise? And since you seem to know all the good stuff there is to know about beauty and fashion…where do you get your hair done in Houston!? I have yet to find a salon here and have been going to Austin when I need a haircut! I had a girl here that I really loved, at the salon inside Saks, but then she got married, had a kid, moved, blah blah. I have yet to find a good Houston salon! I went to Beautique once (in the village) but they butchered me. Any suggestions?
Have you always been into fashion and beauty? Or was there a turning point in your life where you discovered that you loved it?
Aside from fashion and shopping, do you have any other hobbies that you enjoy that haven't been discussed yet in your blog?
What state do you live in, and do you like where you live?
Is being a newlywed as difficult at first as everyone says it is?
🙂
This totally isn't fashion or beauty related, but since we're both Houston gals I thought I'd ask anyway. What are your favorite places to eat?? I absolutely love trying new places and new types of food (love food!).
This past weekend DH and I tried a Spanish restaurant that was amazing! It got me thinking. 🙂
thanks ladies, these are great questions, keep em' coming! I will answer them all in one post tomorrow or Friday. 🙂 love you girls!
What was your most expensive 'fashion' splurge? (wedding dress/accessories and beauty items like highlights/extensions don't count!)
Not so much a question, but a request you could respond to nonetheless (if you're willing):
Will you post a picture of yourself sans make up?
Since we are both on the Houston Nest board you might know who I am but, I am in the need of some suggestions. I was never taught to put on makeup so I am self taught but I would love to do some more looks. What do you suggest would be a good place to learn? Wanna give a lesson?? LOL Also none of my friends ar super fashioanble, were all stay at home moms. But I would love to update my wardrobe some. Wanna go shopping?
You have mentioned that you love starbucks green tea…what is your favorite green tea to drink at home?
Jessica
Do you cook?
What do you wear when you're relaxing at home?
Can't wait to read the answers to the questions everyone has asked so far 🙂

As a fellow tall-ish girl (I'm 5'9"), how often do you wear heels? Do you ever feel out of place in heels? Is you husband still taller than you in heels?
I couldn't really think of anything so this is the best I got lol.

Can you post a list of the blogs you follow? I read your blog daily or every few days if I get busy…I have a hard time finding blogs that are updated as often as yours. I travel a lot and like to read blogs that are fun and interesting to pass time in my hotels. Thanks!
What are your political leanings? Conservative, liberal, independent (ie: code for "I don't want really to answer") ??
What about religion? Any you like? One you follow?
How did you and your husband meet? And how long were you together before you got engaged?
Were you popular with the guys in high school? And did you ever model? If not, you should have!
What kind of car do you drive? What cd is in your car right now? What was your major in college? 🙂
Hi! I found your blog on the F&B board on the nest (I'm a bit of a lurker).
I was wondering if you'd be willing to post more pictures of your house–it looks totally adorable in what I saw in your Xmas post! I love how much it matched parts of your wedding.

I've been meaning to ask you this so it's not a totally random question but what did you think of the blue nail polish you bought for your vacation and did you wear the swimsuit cover-up? I didn't think I saw anything on these.
You must have read my mind today, because as I was reading your february favorites post I thought about all of the questions I wanted to ask you…
I second the more pictures of your home request!
This is fun!
Cara
What, if any, self tanner do you use on your body, face? I am no longer allowed to go tanning (I had cancer freshman year of college) and have been sadly pale ever since.
What do you do to your hair inbetween washes so that it doesn't get oily? I feel like if I don't wash mine daily, it's just a stringy mess.
I really hope you decide to do a video of how you apply makeup.
Have you ever used a mineral powder foundation or do you usually use liquids? Have you noticed one or the other makes pores appear smaller?
What is your favorite color to wear? to decorate with? to paint your walls?
Hi! I wanted to ask where you got those cute white with black flower-y boxes to store things in? (I think I remember them correctly?) I was looking recently for some cute bins for storage in my room.
Hi! I was wondering what shoes you wore on your wedding day? I'm getting married this year, and we're totally dress twins!
Thanks!
Jen

How about, do you have any siblings? What about, your husband? Oh and what is the age difference between you and your husband? Are you older or younger than he is? (I'm older than mine, which is probably why I ask.)
Have a great day!

hi veronika!
most of my pressing questions were already asked. however,you do something that i do as well, which is to not apply any shadow to the eyelids. i find that my eyes look bigger and clearer w/out it. just wondering what your reasoning was.
also, how often do you shop? i shop online almost everyday, although i don't buy something everyday. plus, i only buy things on sale. i pride myself on never paying full price. unless it's to die for and i can't live without it 🙂
This one is totally beauty related:
1- Best make up tips you've picked up along the way?
2- What do you do for days you're running late?
Thanks so much!
love love love your blog! i always look forward to reading it! i know a while ago you were saying you were going to start taking zinc…i just wanted to know if you have been and if you have if you've seen any improvement in your skin or anything? thanks!
Do you allow yourself a budget for shopping? And if so, is it a certain percentage of your take home income? (I sincerely hope that this is not too personal!)
Oooo!!! I would also love to see some more pictures of our home, you have great decor taste! Could you post more?
This took me awhile to read through Veronika, but I did! I read every word of it! You sound like such a great person. I am an only child as well, I also don't love cooking (my boyfriend does), I love black, I love reality shows…we have quite a few things in common 😉 It was fun getting to learn more about you.
