✨A Few Questions! ✨
What’s playing on your Spotify right now? One of my faves, SZA's album, Ctrl.
What's one quirk only your best friend would know about you? Most nights, I sleep in a bathrobe. No explanation, just a weird fact about me.
Describe your perfect Saturday. Waking up late, brunch food, a farmers market run, a hike, reading for a few hours, and BBQing in the backyard.
Are you a morning person or an evening person? What’s your routine like during that time? Night owl – I work out, always have dessert, throw on a TV show, make tea, and read before bed.
What are your favorite things to talk about? Traveling, entertainment (specifically Broadway musicals), and more recently, politics.
How do you wind down after a tough day? Order in from a local favorite restaurant, then curl up on the couch to watch one of my favorite movies with a fuzzy blanket and Salt & Straw ice cream.
