FAQ

Q: How/why did you start blogging? 

A: Honestly, my husband Adam was the one who told me I should start a fashion blog. I didn't even really know blogging was a thing until he told me about it! I've always kind of have unique style and never been scared to go out of my comfort zone so it all came pretty naturally to me! I started posting Instagram pictures of my outfits and my life style and it took off from there!

Q: How do you keep your hair healthy with how much you color it? 

A: I hardly ever wash my hair and I don't apply heat regularly to my hair either! I love using Truself Organics shampoo + conditioner because it has No Synthetic Fragrances / No Parabens / No Petroleum / No Phthalates / No Artificial Dyes / And of course no animal testing. Use my code 'alexis20' to get 20% off your purchase today. I bleach my hair about every 3 months and color it monthly with pastel stains.

Q: What hair color do you recommend for getting pastel pink hair?

A: I really love using Sparks Hair color, Arctic Fox Hair color + Pravana! Your hair needs to be the color of the inside of a banana + toned (so almost like a silvery white color) to get the perfect pink. Talk to your hair stylist to achieve this light of a color! I don't recommend trying to lighten your hair at home. I do however, maintain my pastel colors in-between appointments.

Q: What foundation do you use? 

A: Currently I am loving IT Cosmetics
Your Skin But Better™ CC+Illumination™ Cream with SPF 50+, so dewy, perfect amount of coverage and hello, built in SPF.

Q: How did you and your husband meet?

A: Well, it all started on good ole' Instagram. One night after a roof top concert, one of the lead singer's came over to me and my roommates place to hang out and I began the 'single' vent. I just said, "Is it really that hard to find a long haired attractive man in Utah that isn't crazy!", and he said, "Um, no, I actually know this kid who is single and I think you'd really like him." So I went and followed him on IG and he was a freakin' babe. And he followed me back.. You know the drill. Well a couple weeks went by and I found myself at this horribly awkward Halloween party and there he was! Just as big of a babe as I had expected. Only thing was I was way to chicken to go say hi... so the hours went on and nothing happened. We kept making eye contact. Finally I told my roommate that's it. I'm going to say hi to him, I turned around and he was gone. FOREVER. I thought I blew it. Luckily, he found me on FB, sent me a short sweet message and we went out to a Rock Opera the next night. The rest is kinda history. We'll be married 2 years this September.

Q: How tall are you? 

A: 5'10"

Q: What camera do you use to take your pictures/ who takes your pictures? 

A: I use a Canon T5i and my husband takes my pictures! Unless I shoot with a photographer. I am also pretty good at the ole self timer when he's not around ;)
