1. What does the name of your blog mean and how did you come up with it?
I believe that preppy isn't just a type of fashion, but it's a way of life. To be preppy means you live a certain kind of lifestyle, where your are classy, kind, and always happy!
2. Why did you start blogging?
My blogging story is really different than most. About a year ago, sometime last March, I saw a post on Pinterest entitled "Free Preppy Stickers!" I clicked on it, and discovered this wonderful post on Gracie in Prep. I soon fell in love with her blog, and started reading other preppy fashion blogs like it. I thought about making a blog of my own, but I never got around to it because I was busy, and besides, I didn't know the first thing about taking pictures or writing a blog post or designing a website. When school ended for the summer, I finally bit the bullet and started Live The Prep Life - which has been one of the best decisions I've made.
3. What's your dream for your blog in the future? Where do you hope it takes you?
I have a goals update coming in a couple of weeks, so I'll go more into depth there, but I really want to buy a professional layout and buy my own domain name. Honestly, I could see blogging becoming a full-time job for me when I'm older - at least, that's the goal!
4. If you could have personally witnessed anything, what would you want to have seen?
I'm not really big on history (it's actually my least favorite class) so I'm not really sure... no particular events come to mind, but I've always thought it would be cool to see the Northern Lights! I would have also loved to be alive when the year changed to 2000.
5. If you have one, what's your favorite word?
Vivacious. Soliloquy. Loquacious. Sesquipedalian. Epiphany.
6. What do you value most about yourself?
I consider myself a pretty determined person. If I set a goal, I will usually find a way to complete it.
7. What's your favorite and least favorite thing to spend money on?
If you know me, this will come as no surprise... but I spend all my money on clothes for the most part. I don't really like spending money on anything except clothes. Call me shallow, or egocentric... but I love clothes.
8. Where is your dream vacation?
I have a whole list of places I want to go (see some of my travel goals here) but my dream vacation would have to be a trip to either Hawaii or Italy.
9. What are you most proud of?
The fact that I started this blog when I was twelve and have been able to keep up with it and grow it as far as I have.
10. What is a skill you would like to learn and why?
I've always wanted to learn calligraphy - it's even on my 101 in 1001! I've always thought it was beautiful and it's always looked so fun. Recently I've been hand lettering a little bit whenever I have a bit of down time in class, but I would love to improve my skills and eventually learn calligraphy.
11. What age do you feel like you are right now and why?
This is a hard one. I feel like I'm around the age of eighteen, because I interact with bloggers that are about that age a lot. Of course, there are some days when I just want to watch Disney Channel original movies, color, and pretend like I'm five again... so I don't really have an answer for this one.
Now for eleven facts about myself!
1. My favorite snack foods are chips and salsa or carrots and hummus.
2. I have two younger sisters that are the most annoying human beings on this planet but I love them to death.
3. A typical weekend for me consists of soccer games, homemade pizza, teaching Sunday School, and shopping.
4. Recently, I have gotten really into painting, and I have painted a few things such as Lilly Pulitzer prints and a Vineyard Vines whale!
5. I'm obsessed with Pinterest - shocker, I know. My board with the most pins on it is my Sweet Treats board.
6. My favorite animal is a dolphin.
7. I recently made my school's yearbook committee for next year.
8. I have been to eight states: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, California, Nevada, and Colorado.
9. My favorite number is nine, because I was born on 09/09.
10. On Easter, my sisters and I were surprised with a pet bunny named Cocoa! She is the cutest thing and I love her to death.
11. I love to cook, especially desserts. My favorite places to get recipes from are Chocolate Covered Katie and Hungry Girl.
