I found these “about me” questions on fellow blogger Lena’s site and loved the candid, honest aspect of them. With blogging and social media, you try and portray yourself to the the best of your ability, but inevitably can end up only posting the “good” things and the “nice” photos.  I love my life, but it is not all beautiful clothes, photoshoots and travel.
