Vogue’s 73 Questions

Welcome to my blog! I thought it might be fun to for me to start by sharing some more personal tidbits about my personality, things I like, and my day-to-day lifestyle. Vogue does this fun video series of 73 rapid-fire questions answered by celebrities in under 10 minutes. Of course I’m no celebrity, and I did not write all of this in 10 minutes. But what a perfect way to get to know me a little better!

1. What’s your favorite time of day? Early mornings, before the sun comes up. It’s so quiet in my backyard, I’m such a morning person.

2. What’s your biggest weakness? Always needing a challenge, getting bored easily, and never being satisfied. Which really helps me grow, and can be a strength. But it also poses difficulties and I can forget to appreciate what I do have and how far I’ve come.

3. What’s your biggest strength? Knowing what I want, making quick, decisive decisions.

4. What’s the biggest learning experience you’ve had? In this industry, connecting with like minded women on social media and sharing tips and stories of how to be successful and connect with wonderful clients.

5. What’s your idea of a perfect date? A lovely dinner in a dark restaurant, sharing our food and a bottle of wine, followed by dessert — with lots of talking in between. We go back to the hotel and explore each other even more. I love to give a relaxing massage and get wrapped up with each other under the covers.

6. What’s one vice you wish you could give up? Weed is my vice. Not sure I would want to give it up though. I have my medical card and it’s been helpful. Not much of a drinker.

7. What’s a cause that is important to you? I wish there was more awareness of mental health issues and getting rid of the stigma.

8. What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received? The best compliment a client can give me is that I make him feel welcome, very comfortable and he’s free to be himself. And that he’s happier and more relaxed after our time together.
