F.A.Q.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you pronounce your name?

It rhymes with sassy, gassy, pick your poison... everything my name sounds like is essentially insulting.

How old are you?

25 (though I'll forever feel like a preteen).

Who/what/where/when/why your glasses???
This must be the most frequently asked question (though not necessarily in those exact words) I get, which surprised me at first!
My glasses are always prescription (you know the big letter at the top of vision charts? Yup, I definitely can't read [or see...] that without them) and have always been purchased at Pearle Vision. The frames that I had when I started blogging/YouTube-ing (up until the end of June '13) were men's Giorgio Armani frames and the glasses that I currently sport are men's Ray Ban sunglasses frames (women's glasses tend to be too small for my eyes/face and this time around sunglasses were more flattering than regular glasses #whatislife).

HOW DO YOU GET YOUR TEETH SO WHITE???
Aside from the glasses inquiries, this is by far one of the most frequently asked questions I receive (especially on my videos) and unfortunately I don't have a very helpful answer… I just take good care of my teeth.
I used Crest White Strips a couple of times in high school (8-9 years ago *weeping because I'm old*) but other than that I don't whiten my teeth. The toothpaste I use, and have used for close to 10 years now, is the Crest Complete Multi-Benefit Whitening + Scope "Minty Fresh Striped"; it's got the best taste, best suds ability, and just works better than any other toothpaste I've ever tried. My routine is nothing out of the ordinary, like said, I just brush my teeth twice a day (in the morning after breakfast and before I go to bed at night), floss at least once a day, use mouthwash each night, avoid staining drinks (red wine, sodas, coffee, tea, etc.), and have never smoked. That's it, really!!

How tall are you?

5'2'' (on a good day).

What kind of camera do you use?

I shoot photos for my blog on an Olympus SP-56OUZ; I filmed my YouTube videos with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS15 and, as of 7/20/14, I primarily record my videos with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200.

What is that accent!?!

While I don't notice it myself, I'm often told (even at home) that my Minnesotan accent is quite prominent. Oofta!!

What kind of cat do you have?

My cat (Galileo) is a blue lynx point Siberian. Most of my close friends and family are severely allergic to cats so, since Siberians are hypoallergenic (they produce less of the protein that causes cat allergies), I got this breed so that I wasn't completely isolating myself from the human race.

Have any other questions? Don't hesitate to ask!
