I started blogging back in 2009 and my blog/website is my passion. I realize that platforms like Instagram have grown and grown but my blog is still my bread and butter. It's where my true passion lies! Therefore, I typically create posts that answer the often-asked questions. So, I will link to past blog posts where it applies!
What breed is Henry? Where did you get him?
He is 50% Australian cattle dog, 25% chihuahua, 25% herding dog. We used the Wisdom Panel DNA test for Henry so that is how we are so accurate with his breed!
We rescued him from an incredible non-profit, Tracy's Dogs, which I highly recommend. You can read the first post ever about Henry, here.

Do you want to adopt more dogs?
I truly wish I could adopt/save every single dog. But for now, Henry will be the only pup!
Do you recommend having a dog if you live in an apartment?
I was so hesitant to have a dog with apartment living and honestly, it wasn't bad at all. I definitely think Henry desired more room but he was totally fine. He is a small dog (just 25 pounds) so my apartment probably felt 'big' to him! I will say, it was annoying to have to go up and down all the time since I live in a high rise building, but it's not as much of a pain as I thought it would be and well worth it to have Henry in my life!

Do you have eyelash extensions? Where do you get them done?
Yes. I get them done every 2-3 weeks. I see Brittany at Fluhme Glambar. I would highly recommend lash extensions, you just need to make sure you go to a reputable salon with a well-trained technician.

Where do you get your hair done? What do you ask for?
I see Abby at Max Manni salon. I get blonde highlights, I do not have a base on my roots, and I get a gold toner. When I get my hair cut, I get it ever so slightly angled in the front and a blunt, straight cut in the back.

I went to James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA. I graduated with a BA in Communications and my concentration was in Public Relations and my minor was Writing and Rhetoric. I was a Zeta Tau Alpha.
Do you have hobbies, if so, what are they?
I love to ski, I take violin lessons, I play golf and tennis (poorly), I'm a bit of a foodie and love trying new restaurants. I travel any chance I get and I love practicing calligraphy. Something I would love to learn is needlepoint.

Do you workout?
I wish I did more. I mostly just walk Henry daily and do 30-minute floor workouts such as sit-ups, push-ups, etc. once or twice a week. You can read this post about how I plan on getting fit for our wedding!

Do you like living in downtown Pittsburgh? Would you recommend it? Do you feel safe?
Yes, yes, and yes! I have loved living in downtown Pittsburgh. I especially love it in the warmer months because I can walk everywhere- the north shore, the strip district, etc. Plus, I'm a quick drive/uber from Shadyside/East Liberty. I could not recommend it more. It's city living, though, so space is very limited but I was able to make the small space work for 3 years. I live in a 1 bed/1 bath by myself! There have been a few times I haven't felt safe, but for the most part, I have had no issues! The only thing that you run into when you live downtown is that most buildings do not have on-site parking. The sole reason I moved into the building that I live in is that the parking is on site in a garage with valet attendants 24/7 plus a 24/7 doorman. I wouldn't have felt comfortable parking my car blocks away and walking alone late at night- my parents were not ok with it either. I would have also been so annoyed doing multiple trips back and forth to get groceries into my apartment from my car or having to walk back and forth between my apartment and car in the rain.
Do you have siblings?
Yes, one sister, Callie, who is 4 years younger than me. She lives in Charlotte, NC.
How did you get started blogging? Do you have any tips for those who want to start a blog?
I have posts about this that you can find here and here!
How do you make money blogging?
Several different channels. Affiliate linking, sponsored posts, creating content for brands, public speaking, hosting events, etc.
What camera do you use?
I wrote an entire post about this! I also use my iPhone XS Max often for Instagram and blog photos. It takes great photos and I love the bigger size of the phone.
