YOU are brave! You have WAY too many readers. haha. I wouldn't do this. You're so amazing.
Uh, what was the hardest part about waiting for Ted? What kept you going?
Hmmm. Okay. Have you always been as fashionable as you are now or was it developed over time?
Love the blog and love your cute style! :)
Q: Where did you get your nerd glasses!?
Heaven forbid this ever happen!!!!
But...
If you ever passed away...
Would you want the Tedward to remarry?
what is your favorite movie?
... thats kind of a lame question but whatev
ps. have fun at disneyland..(im assuming thats what you meant) i just got home from there! maybe ill see you when you go!... or maybe not. that sounds stalkerish...
if you could go and visit any place in the world, where would you go?
And another random question: how cold does it get in Arizona? Because currently, in Michigan, it's around 27 degrees.
First! Holla!
Have you taken photography classes or is it something you have just done on your own? You are wicked good!
Do you sometimes wish you could have a white Christmas??
I live in Iowa, and couldn't imagine the holiday season without snow...
Cute pic. I like it :)
YAY for disneyland.
I don't have a question... sorry.
What is the one piece of fashion advice you would give to the fashion challenged? Like...me.
Oh oh, I have one!
What is your favorite Christmas movie?
Disneyland is amazing. And if you see Goofy there, be sure to say hi! The guy who is Goofy (almost every day) is a super-duper good friend of mine.
I have a question.
Not that you want or need to be anyone else, since you are amazing. But if you had the chance to be anyone in the world for one day, who would you be? :)
Oh my Gosh! I LOVE how cute you are in your "little get up!!" I need to know where you got your hat, because I'm pretty sure I need one just like it!
PS So jealous of Disneyland... I think you should pack me in your suitcase!
where are you guys going for Teds birthday?
Disneyland is AMAZING! :D If you could go back in time to any decade of (America), what decade would you travel to, and why?
What are you most looking forward to, after Ted's birthday and Christmas, of course.
Have so much fun!!
What are your plans for after you finish school?
Ah, I wish I was going to Disney! I've only been to World, though, never Land. Maybe someday we could all have a blogtastic meet-up at Disney.
So, one question:
Do you think you blog differently now that you have 800 + followers than you did when you just had a few friends following your blog?
I am addicted to the Disney crack. I love me some Disneyland. Have fun.
I have two questions. Feel free to answer one or both. 1) You share some very personal experiences. Does it feel bizarre that over 800 people, mostly strangers, read what you write? 2) Why do you not live in California? We need you.
Love, Natalie.
What advice do you have for the men who read Mormon Bachelor Pad?
question: do you love me?
(say yes.)
bahaha i love this game.
Will you come decorate my house? I love your style and I need help!
Do you ride the Maliboomer? Would you ride the Maliboomer?
would you rather show up to school naked one day or fart everytime you spoke in public for a year?
and are you going to visit me or meet me at the snack shop? xoxo
exciting!
okay, here we go:
If you could literally, snap your fingers and it be done–what is the one thing you would change about the world? And you only get one snap. It's the magical snappy rule.
:)
I am trying to think of a great question... Thinkin'
If you had to pick a fantasy world to live in, which one would it be?
Hey Lauren :) I just wanted to know if you and Ted were planning on having kids. By the looks, they would be oh-so originial and cute!
If a reader recognized you in an airport, would you be super happy, or weirded out?
Do you think you'll ever live somewhere besides Mesa?
Would you rather...be allergic to thrift stores or Costa Vida?
how did you and ted meet?
If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be, and why?
I'm a fairly new reader so you may have answered this one in the past but... what's your day job currently, and what does Ted do for a living?
It's crazy cold here today (17 degrees)! Have fun in Disneyland.
Ok my question is: I know sometimes you interview your friends/fellow bloggers on here, but if you could choose any one dead or alive who whould you interview on here?
I had a good question, but I couldn't think of a way to phrase it without being awkward, so I'll try something else:
What is your favorite Christmas present you've ever gotten?
Can I have the recipe for your pesto porkchops?
How did you get so many readers? (I would like to increase my own daily site count and I need some tips.) :-)
When do you want to have children? And how many? Does it count if its two questions?
Anyways have SO much fun!! KOby has NEVER been to dIsneyland. I want to take him so bad. He is one of 12 children though so you can't really blame his parents huh!
What's your day job?
Where do you get your funny material (aka blog fodder)? and if you say "my own brain...duh!" Can I borrow your brain for an afternoon so I can be funny witty and creative all in one? Srsly, my blog suks...I guess it would help if I wrote in it once in a while.
1st you are not weird, you're Lauren, and that's just awesome ;)
Question: Your pictures are amaaaazing, so if you could photograph or do a shoot with ANYONE dead or alive, who would it be? & why? :)
Autumn - "Uh, what was the hardest part about waiting for Ted? What kept you going?"
Probably being lonely, and not knowing if he would want me when he got home.
Crystal - "Hmmm. Okay. Have you always been as fashionable as you are now or was it developed over time?"
Oh gee, thanks! Um..no. In fact I am so embarrassed by fashion faux pas in the past. Dude, this inspires a post. But anyway, I have always been very artistic and creative, and after I truly was able to find myself and be comfortable in my own skin, did my style really become unique and my own. I think that is why some people have a hard time with fashion...they lack confidence.
KatofDiamonds - "Where did you get your nerd glasses!?"
I got them from such a darling etsy store! I will have to send you the link. Beware, they were a little pricey. I think they were like 40 dollars. Hmm...
RatalieNose - "If you ever passed away...Would you want the Tedward to remarry?"
No. I wouldn't want him to, and at this point Ted said he wouldn't want to either. But...I would want him to be happy. I wouldn't want him lonely. So, I guess I have a conflicting answer. I guess I just hate the idea of him ever being with someone else. Because the entire time I have known him, he has belonged to me.
Sarah - "what is your favorite movie? "
Excellent question! It is actually a three way tie! 1. Better off Dead 2. Bedazzled (only the '67 version!) 3. Heavyweights
Abby B - "if you could go and visit any place in the world, where would you go?"
I would love to go to Madagascar with Ted. Not because I want to, because let's face it...I am scared, but because Ted is so homesick for it. (He went there on his mission). Oh...and it is about 40 degrees in Mesa right now.
Sara White - "Have you taken photography classes or is it something you have just done on your own? You are wicked good!"
I am embarrassed to say I have never taken a class. I am so ashamed by this. In fact, I should probably take a class this semester.
Liz B - "Do you sometimes wish you could have a white Christmas?? "
Not really. I really hate the snow. One year we drove up to the family cabin on Christmas day, and there was a lot of snow...and I was just cold. Not happy, just cold.
M - "What is the one piece of fashion advice you would give to the fashion challenged? Like...me."
Own a lot of basics (tees, cardigans, jeans, skirts) and then buy accessories that are in season, because that saves you a lot of money when things go in and out of style :)
Living in your Letters - "What is your favorite Christmas movie?"
ooo! I love "It's a Wonderful Life" but my fav fav faaaav is "Muppet Christmas Carole". It's hilarious!
Amy - "But if you had the chance to be anyone in the world for one day, who would you be? :)"
If I were single, I would like to be Vanessa Hudgens for a day. For obvious reasons.
Miss Priss Morgan - " I need to know where you got your hat, because I'm pretty sure I need one just like it! "
You are so sweet :) Go get one at Target! They are so cute and warm and inexpensive!
Brittany - "where are you guys going for Teds birthday?"
Disneyland! Our favorite place ever. I am obsessed.
Allison - "If you could go back in time to any decade of (America), what decade would you travel to, and why?"
Definitely the '60s. One word: fashion.
Dust and Kam - "What are you most looking forward to, after Ted's birthday and Christmas, of course."
My favorite holiday...MY BIRTHDAY! It is my favorite day of the year. I am serious. Looove it.
Lauren if you are doing a post about your past style I have THE perfect pic to start out with when we were like 4 or 5!!! HEE-lariousness!!!! Hmmmm what shall I ask? If you had to choose just ONE what would be your favorite book ( besides the Book of Mormon of courser!)?
Our high in Utah Valley today is suppose to hit 10 degrees. I could use your hat!! A question...well, I am dying to know, do you love your new place? Is it an apartment or a house? Are you ever going to share photos of your decor? Oops. That was three.
Have fun on your trip! SO JEALOUS!
who is your favorite person, besides ted, to eat at paradise with?
<3you.
I love the question posts you do!
You blog about your family all the time, are you as close to Ted's side? Im guessing you live close because you and ted went to High School together.
Hi Lauren :) Cute post idea! So, hmmm, let's see...
What is your favorite scripture verse?
I totes love Disney-anything. Everyone I know thinks I'm a weirdo. But I'm going to Disney World in 25 days!
So in honor of Disney-happiness, what is your favorite Disneyland ride? :)
Have fun with Tedward!
When do you guys plan on having kids? :)
Oooo...I"m so glad you did this post...I've always wondered what kind of camera you have?
A new camera is tops on my Christmas list.
Any advice I can pass on to Santa?
Marissa - "What are your plans for after you finish school?"
I plan on running my own Interior Design Consulting Business. People can come to me, and I will walk through their home and suggest to them what to change. Make idea boards. All that jazz.
Katie - "Do you think you blog differently now that you have 800 + followers than you did when you just had a few friends following your blog?"
Yes. Completely. My blog used to be my journal. Now it is something different. Not so personal. I am more censored. I dunno...it's different. I no longer let anyone see my past entries. They are drafted.
Natalie - "1) You share some very personal experiences. Does it feel bizarre that over 800 people, mostly strangers, read what you write? 2) Why do you not live in California? We need you."
1. Not really. I am completely fine with all of you reading about me. I would explain it more, but it would take forevers. Let me just say, I like this little blogging community. 2. I ask myself the same thing.
sam - "What advice do you have for the men who read Mormon Bachelor Pad?"
Do you mean, dating advice? Or just advice for life in general? For dating: Have fun. Do silly, fun, thoughtful things for girls. If they appreciate it, then take them out again. For life: Eat Costa Vida.
Megs in Wonderland - "do you love me?"
duh.
Cara - "Will you come decorate my house? I love your style and I need help!"
Yes, miss!
Help! "Do you ride the Maliboomer? Would you ride the Maliboomer?"
No way! I prefer to not vomit on rides. Or pass out for that matter.
Alexa Mae - "would you rather show up to school naked one day or fart everytime you spoke in public for a year? "
Most DEF be naked. Dude.
Stacy Dean - "If you could literally, snap your fingers and it be done–what is the one thing you would change about the world? And you only get one snap. "
All of the mean people's mouths be magically sewn shut. Oh, and their fingers too. So they couldn't type mean crap.
Haiku Amy - "If you had to pick a fantasy world to live in, which one would it be?"
I would live with the Cullens. So I could look at Edward all day.
Mailen - "I just wanted to know if you and Ted were planning on having kids. By the looks, they would be oh-so originial and cute!"
Nope. We hate kids. In fact, we are allergic to them. JK...of course we are :)
Jacki - "If a reader recognized you in an airport, would you be super happy, or weirded out?"
I get approached on a weekly basis, actually...and have gotten quite used to it. I like it :)In fact, I have been approached at Disneyland.
Caitlin - "Do you think you'll ever live somewhere besides Mesa?"
Ted and I plan on living in Seattle for a couple years. Will it happen? Who knows. So, we will probably be in Mesa until we die.
Alyssa - "Would you rather...be allergic to thrift stores or Costa Vida?"
Wow! Hardest question ever. I would say...Costa Vida, because it is so fattening. Thrift stores can't make me fat. Or broke. Win!
Ashley - "how did you and ted meet?"
We went to high school together! We met in Seminary. haha
Lorren - "If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be, and why?"
Zooey Deschanel. She inspires me.
Lauren - "what's your day job currently, and what does Ted do for a living?"
I am a receptionist for a city. And Ted cleans carpets for ChemDry. We are boring, obvi.
Staci - "Ok my question is: I know sometimes you interview your friends/fellow bloggers on here, but if you could choose any one dead or alive who whould you interview on here?"
Zooey Deschanel! In love with her. And I would rule the blogs.
TheresaD - "What is your favorite Christmas present you've ever gotten?"
Before Ted went on his mission, he bought me a ring with 5 diamonds on it. First time I ever received diamonds. I wear it with my engagement and wedding rings. Pretty!
Nicola - "Can I have the recipe for your pesto porkchops?"
Yes, if I can remember it. I never have recipes...I just make them up in my head.
Amber W - "How did you get so many readers?"
I am still trying to figure that out. I didn't purposely try to get readers...it just happened.
Kacie - "When do you want to have children? And how many? Does it count if its two questions?"
(Whiney voice) Do I REALLY have to do your highlights tonight?
I went to Disney World a couple of months ago. When I got into the Magic Carpet Ride, there was a Pocket Edward in my seat. Did you leave him there?
I totally made out with him and then left him there to make someone else happy.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I love your blog, Lauren! I don't usually comment because I read it from my google reader, but I decided to come out of hiding for this one.
Because I'm in love with your pictures, I have one big question!
What type of camera (and preferred lens) do you use?
I don't want to sound weird, but if I see you in Disneyland, can I say hi and get a picture with you?
What kind of camera do you use?
What happened to Laurens bite???
oooh I'm excited about this! How do you decide what patterns/ colors are okay to mix? I always feel like if I'm wearing like two different patterns and a bright color it's too much.
What Etsy shops do you recommend for home decor?
Awesome idea. Okay 2 questions:
1.) Top 5 dream jobs
2.) If you had unlimited money for an entire 24 hours, what would you do with it? Where would you go? Who would you include?
i know its sooo cold here in az lately! i like it though, as im sure you do because we never get cold! :)
anyway, here is my question...
what is your biggest fear?
(i know this is pretty general..sorry lol)
Where do you take most of you photos?? Im dying to know! You are AWESOME!
-m
Can you give us a tutorial on how to thrift? You don't have to reveal your super secret thrift store ( Though, I think I know what it is...we have one down here! ), but I would love to know how to looke for great deals and a cute outfit at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for answering my question Bee! :) Can I call you that? haha.
I will aspire to be more confident in my fashion choices in the future as I have a very boring style. :)
Nancy Face - "Do I REALLY have to do your highlights tonight?"
Yes, Muv.
Sara - "I went to Disney World a couple of months ago. When I got into the Magic Carpet Ride, there was a Pocket Edward in my seat. Did you leave him there? "
No, but I left him in Seattle on accident. I don't want to talk about it. :(
Megan S - "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Well, technically, I am grown up, since I am 21 and married. haha :) When I graduate I will be a part time Interior Designer, and a mom.
Lauren - "What type of camera (and preferred lens) do you use?"
For anything that isn't a photo shoot I use the best point and shoot ever. Everyone needs a Canon Powershot Elph. The best ever. For shoots I use a Canon Rebel SLR. I don't know the number, haha.
Cloudaholic - "I don't want to sound weird, but if I see you in Disneyland, can I say hi and get a picture with you?"
Will you be in Disneyland? Please do! I love when I meet readers!
Trish - "What kind of camera do you use?"
See above answer :)
Trish - "What happened to Laurens bite???"
I killed it.
sassy shelby - "How do you decide what patterns/ colors are okay to mix?"
I am kinda bold. I like houndstooth with polka dot or damask. I also like it with stripes. I like Red and Purple together. And Yellow with practically everything. I just pull everything together and see if it works.
Emily - "What Etsy shops do you recommend for home decor?"
None. I think people price things too high on Etsy in regards to home decor...and then there is shipping to think about. I reccommend a thrift store! :)
MoreThanMyOwnLife - "1.) Top 5 dream jobs
2.) If you had unlimited money for an entire 24 hours, what would you do with it? Where would you go? Who would you include?"
1. I only have 2. Interior Designer, and Stay and home Mom. 2. I would buy a house and buy everything we need for it. Ted wouldn't come because he thinks about stuff for too long. It would be me by myself.
KP - "what is your biggest fear?"
Be attacked and raped. I get the heebie jeebies whenever I am walking to my car alone.
M & C - "You blog about your family all the time, are you as close to Ted's side? "
We don't see Ted's family as much as we do, my family. But yes, we do live quite close!
sara - "What is your favorite scripture verse?"
I really love "As I have loved you, Love one another." So important.
suze - "So in honor of Disney-happiness, what is your favorite Disneyland ride? :)"
Space Mountain! Amazinnnnng!
Dani Welton - "When do you guys plan on having kids? :)"
Sometime when I am done with school. School is important!
Naomi - "Oooo...I"m so glad you did this post...I've always wondered what kind of camera you have? "
Canon Powershot Elph for everything that isn't a photo shoot. And a Canon Rebel SLR for photoshoots! :)
Okay, strange question. It might not make sense...
Have you met Melanie Lynne and Jed yet? They told me that you guys moved into your ward. :) Melanie is my sister and Jed is my favorite brother-in-law ever.
Is it weird to you that people who are a decade older than you read your blog (for sure not referring to anyone in particular)? How do you come up with all your cute funny sayings and names for things?
Ok, here's my question, something that always interests me: What was your most embarrassing moment? Or is that too personal?
Mine was totally cut off! I got no answer! :(
You promise you will answer?
WHere is your super secret first choice thrift store?
muhahhaha!!
What book are you currently reading?
Is Ted going (or have gone) to college?
How old are you geasers anyways?
Kacie - "When do you want to have children? And how many? Does it count if its two questions?"
We want to have kids when I am done with school and can work as an Interior Designer out of our home. We want 4 kids, tops. But I would prefer only 3 :)
Alexa Dyan - "Have you met Melanie Lynne and Jed yet? They told me that you guys moved into your ward. :) Melanie is my sister and Jed is my favorite brother-in-law ever."
Funny story, no...I havevn't met them yet, but they DID leave us a Gingerbread house on our doorstep. And another funny story...Jed was Ted's best friend growing up! Hilar! Small world.
Kris - "Is it weird to you that people who are a decade older than you read your blog (for sure not referring to anyone in particular)? How do you come up with all your cute funny sayings and names for things?"
Meh, age doesn't matter. If you are nice, you can be my friend :). As for the crazy words. I dunno...they just flutter into my brain, and for some reason, they are well received.
Loys - "What was your most embarrassing moment? Or is that too personal?"
Hm. I don't really have one. I mean, I get embarrassed over little things, and then quickly get over it. You know?
Whitney - "WHere is your super secret first choice thrift store?"
I will answer you. It is in the valley.
Tigersgirlgv - "What book are you currently reading?"
I am reading "A great and terrible beauty". It's alright so far :)
Maremare - "Is Ted going (or have gone) to college?
How old are you geasers anyways?"
Ted IS going to school. At the moment he is going to become a Civil Engineer. Who knows if he will change his mind, haha. He is turning 23 this week, and I am 21.
The Waits - "Where do you take most of you photos?? Im dying to know!"
I cannot disclose that information. But I can tell you they are in the valley :)
Molly - "Can you give us a tutorial on how to thrift?"
This is already in progress.
What's the recipe of your homemade soup shown on your "Cozy." post? It looks delish!
Your weird get up is great.
Have you ever been to New England or the east coast for that matter?
(It's dang cold here right now, snow and rain whatnot)
I'm presonally aspiring to do something with interior design or photography (small world!) so I'm intrigues to know ~
1. What/who got you interested in interior design/photography & why?
Did you send Ted something for Christmas while he was on his mission, and if so, what did you send?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm a Disney FREAK (as is my boyf), and I just want to know ... What's your favoritest ride in Disneyland and why?
Happy Early Birthday to the Tedward! :)
Um, I suck and didn't read the above comments. I totes missed that you already answered my question, so I'm going in for another (kill me now if you already answered this one, too)... Did you think "New Moon" was better or worse than "Twilight" (talking about the films)?
Hey I havent commented on your blog before (I dont think :) ) But I loves it! You are completely awesome! I dont have a question, however there is a blog from Australia (where I'm from!!) called Super Kwaii Mama and she has awesome vintage style in clothes and her house and Ieverytime I read it I think of you! (Weird right :)! ) But I think you might like it! Keep up the good work girl!
If you had to pick your top 5 items in your closet, What would they be?
If you could have ANY ones wardrobe in the entire world, past or present, who's would it be?
(My answer? yours, for sure. I'm pretty positive you're the best thrifter ever, totally jealous.)
2 comments and a thought...
1)What is your and Ted's song?
2) Were you and Sierra BFF's before she married your brother or after?
* I saw a pair of Black & White Damask tights the other day and thought of you. :-)
I've recently gotten into the whole finding your season thing in an attempt to wear colors that are complimentary. You are able to pull off so many different colors in your outfits, which leaves me a tad jealous:) Do you base your color choices off of your "season," or do you just go with whatever colors you like?
what would you call your designing style? Also what would you call a staple or must have in your home to get that look?
Where did you get that adorable hat, I've been looking for one just like it!
Why do hot dogs come in packages of 10 and hot dog buns come in packages of 8?
Too hard? Okay let me try this...
I am totally decorating-challenged.. My husband and I have lived in our house for almost two years with no room completed! How do you suggest to tackle an empty house without knowing how to decorate?
Thanks.
Great post!! Sorry I have no question because you have already answered it :)
Lauren, you are the most interesting person ever.
I think you inspire a lot of people.
I have a kinda quick one! so, what kind of mascara do you use? your eyelashes are AMAZING. thanks for another great post.
Ha ha I have the same question as Cara! Will come help me decorate my house and then come shopping and teach me how to put together an outfit since I stink at doing it myself?!
Hey Lauren, my question was spurred on by whoever asked you if you would want Ted to remarry... I'm not a Mormon but it was my understanding that if you "get sealed" you believe that you will be together after you die so what would the point be in a second earthly marriage? Also... why do Mormon's believe you can be married in Heaven when Jesus says there is no marriage in Heaven?
Thanks!
Why is "Mormon Bachelor Pad" a team member for your blog?
Just curious... I'm a fairly new reader so sorry if this is something I should already know. :)
Do your readers ever bug you? We only stalk because we want to be bff's with you! haha
Your blog makes me happy. I'd go with a happiest place on earth question since it's my favorite but I don't want to repeat questions.
If you could be a crayon which color would you be?
Too bad their aren't houndstooth crayons right?
Are you related to any of the Whitings there in Mesa?
Kelly - "What's the recipe of your homemade soup shown on your "Cozy." post?"
Um, I just kinda threw it all together. I don't even remember what I put in it. I don't follow recipes.
Meghan O - "Have you ever been to New England or the east coast for that matter? "
Nope! But we hope to go to New York City next December!
Vi - "What/who got you interested in interior design/photography & why?"
No one really influenced me. Both of those things have always been something I was interested it...from a very young age. I have always loved creating.
Laura - "Did you send Ted something for Christmas while he was on his mission, and if so, what did you send?"
I would send him big packages of goodies and fun things every holiday. We are talking EVEN St. Patrick's day. And we aren't irish!
Annie - "Did you think "New Moon" was better or worse than "Twilight" (talking about the films)?"
Heck Yes. Some of the cinematography I liked better in Twilight, and I didn't really like Edward's makeup in New Moon, but New Moon was better!
Lauren - "If you had to pick your top 5 items in your closet, What would they be?"
My gap jeans, my red pea coat, my gray boyfriend sweater, my vintage navy dress, and my houndstooth pencil skirt!
Jess - "If you could have ANY ones wardrobe in the entire world, past or present, who's would it be?"
You are sweet :) Um...Zooey Deschanel! Everything she wears is pretty and quirky!
Shannon - "1)What is your and Ted's song?
2) Were you and Sierra BFF's before she married your brother or after?"
We don't have a song. Haha :) And, no...Sierra and I became friends after her and Ty got married. She is my favorite.
Missy - "Do you base your color choices off of your "season," or do you just go with whatever colors you like?"
I once asked someone who tells people "their season" what mine was, and she said I was one of the fortunate people that can wear all colors. It's like the people with oval faces that can pull off any hair cut. (I am not one of those people). I guess I am lucky. However, I think people should wear whatever they want :)
1autumn - "what would you call your designing style? Also what would you call a staple or must have in your home to get that look?"
My personal style is eclectic and quirky. However, my professional designing style is widespread. I am confident I can design in any style a client would ask for. As for achieving my personal style, I think lots of red and black are needed to achieve my look. ie: a red sofa with black pillows.
Mercy - "Where did you get that adorable hat, I've been looking for one just like it!"
Target! Go get one!
Tiffany - "My husband and I have lived in our house for almost two years with no room completed! How do you suggest to tackle an empty house without knowing how to decorate?"
Ok, first, only do one room at a time. Take time to really think about what defines you two as a couple. Do you like to laugh a lot together? Maybe have a more upbeat, bright room. Do you like to snuggle a lot? Maybe a more muted, toned down room. Think about you guys personally...not what's in style. What will fit your needs? I will be posting more about this. This question intrigues me.
Emily Sue - "I have a kinda quick one! so, what kind of mascara do you use? your eyelashes are AMAZING."
I have used "Almay" in "Raisin Quartz" for forevers...but am now using Great Lash "Big" in Brown-Black. I thank Lula for pointing me in that direction. It's amazing.
Cajsa - "Will come help me decorate my house and then come shopping and teach me how to put together an outfit since I stink at doing it myself?!"
I'd love to :)
Taylor Norris - "I'm not a Mormon but it was my understanding that if you "get sealed" you believe that you will be together after you die so what would the point be in a second earthly marriage? Also... why do Mormon's believe you can be married in Heaven when Jesus says there is no marriage in Heaven?"
I'm not the best person to answer the question, because I am not very good with words when it comes to my church's beliefs, but here goes. First, LDS couples marry for time and eternity. So, we are married here on earth, and in heaven forever. So, if Ted were to die, and down the road I decided to marry, I could marry for "time". Meaning, here on this earth...but I would married for ted forever in heaven. I don't really see the point, so that won't be happening...even if Ted did die. (sad to think about). As for the other part of your question, I know very little about other church's doctrine...I am kind of ignorant when it comes to that. However, in our church we firmly believe in marriage in heaven. Thanks for the thought provoking question! :)
Mikaela - "Why is "Mormon Bachelor Pad" a team member for your blog?"
Excellent question...why ARE they? haha, jk. I get haters, so they kindly offered to moderate my comments for me. So, they read these comments before they go to me. They don't post, though.
Alexandria - "Do your readers ever bug you? "
Only the ones that are mean. Or the ones that expect things from me. But for the most part, I love you all!
This is so fun!
Can you recommend a new book series to read? I have read Twilight, The Hunger Games series and most recently just finished the Mortal Instruments series. I need a series that is easy to read and keeps you hooked, I hate plane rides and I will be flying in a few weeks:) Thanks!
If you could have a sit-down dinner with 8 people - living or dead - in addition to Ted, who would you choose and why?
What are the Tedward's character traits/characteristics that you appreciate most now that you have been married to him for a year?
Did you ever want to go to some huge university like BYU?
do you use photoshop (or something similar) to change the colours/tones/contrast etc in your photos? (which, by the way, are always a joy to look at)
Want to bring something to FHE Monday? I'm dolling out assignments but haven't figured out yet if I want you to bring pretzel sticks or something to put the treats together cute with (like the plates or bags for the pretzels or something). Also, do you guys have a fondue pot by any chance?
Stephanie - "Can you recommend a new book series to read?"
I am in the process of finding a good series. I just started the Libba Bray series, but I dunno how I like it.
mpierce - "If you could have a sit-down dinner with 8 people - living or dead - in addition to Ted, who would you choose and why?"
Zooey Deschanel, Grace Kelly, Gene Kelly, Zac Efron, Paul Wesley, Ellen, Leigh Anne Litton, and Ted. Because they are all awesome, and I love them all.
Lindsay - "What are the Tedward's character traits/characteristics that you appreciate most now that you have been married to him for a year?"
I don't think marriage helped me appreciate him more. I have always been very in love with him. Our love has grown, but I don't think I can physically appreciate him more than I do. haha
Lauren Elizabeth - "Did you ever want to go to some huge university like BYU?"
I am not a BYU fan. At all. And no, I don't want to go to a big university. I do better in small settings.
becky - "do you use photoshop (or something similar) to change the colours/tones/contrast etc in your photos?"
Yes! I love adding in more yellow to some photos, and more blue to others! I also add some distressing to antique it. Awesome.
Ok, so I was just wondering if you ever read the Mercy Thompson series...and if you looked at it and decided not to read it, what turned you away? No pressure...just curious!
No question from me, I'm pretty sure everyone has asked everything under the sun, and I don't have anything interesting to ask, just wanted to say that, that picture is full of awesomeness. I love love love the hat/glasses combo, the coloring of the photo and esp. the expression on your face! It's all absolutley adorable!
Do you print out your blog posts or will you make a book out of them since it is like a journal? I'm always afraid blogger is going to die one day or something and I will lose my posts.
I found you through MBP! Love this post.
So, speaking of MBP I understand you did a second interview with them last week. When are you going to post it?
The one time I can't think of a question...DUH.ugh. I love your blog, I read it everyday. So I am just going to say hi...HI :)
In your opinion, who's hotter...Paul from Vampire Diaries or Rob from Twilight?
i keep thinking of a question.. and then it pops out of my head when i get to your blog. but i have captured it! i present it to you:
does blogger give you a map-thing pinpointing the differrent points on the globe your readers read from? or, if it doesnt, do you know at all what the range might be?
Hey Lauren :]
One biggie question: How many siblings do you have?
Who are some of your favorite musicians (aside from Michael Buble ;P)? What type of music to you listen to most often?
I wish you could decorate for me. I lovelovelove your style! :)
oh, and my friend and I use your words all of the time....hehe. :P
