May I Suggest for 2010...
I really dislike the “list your friends” posts, and so this is by NO MEANS a definitive list, but rather some fabulous recommendations if you are looking for some new blogs to read in 2010. May I recommend:
My little sister! Her posts are so helpful (and yummy-looking…check out those recipes!) Plus, she’s gorgeous and smart!
Tanya/Tatiana is my soulmate! She is the...

Sorta has to do with your previous formspringer…but you should check out Mezze in Baltimore if you ever go that way. The best mediterranean food I’ve EVER had! and they had some good wine!
I will definitely put this on my list of places to go! I haven’t been to Baltimore for a while, but I think I’m due for another visit. It’s only 25 minutes away, after all!

What’s your favorite place in DC for drinks? dinner? Thanks! Maggie: http://maggiemcg.tumblr.com/
I could never choose! I like Logan’s Tavern, 18th St Lounge and I just went to Masa 14 for our holiday party and loved it. Great for dinner and apparently it’s got one of the longest bars in DC, so you can have the best of both, I suppose. Also love Founding Farmers (locally grown...

Jackie's Cleaning Day!
Since I have this week off of work (thank you, work gods!), I have put together a to-do list of things I must, must, must get done before January 4!
Since it looks like Christmas vomited all over our house (bags, wrapping, presents, trees, garland, gah!), I have officially named today “Jackie’s Cleaning Day.” We’ve got to get this place in shape!
Here’s what’s...

Will you come and personally shop for me to help me build a wardrobe? Seriously I need help!!! Come on, you know you’ve always wanted to come to Cincinnati! ;)
Oh man, you have no idea how much I’d love to make personal shopping my full time job! And you’re right…I’ve never been to Cincinnati! I’ll be on the next flight out. (I wish!) Well, the only consolation...

Hey Jaclyn, what do think about the recent military style influenced fashions for men? Like? Dislike? And if so, what colors in particular do you think they look good in? I’m trying to expand my wardrobe but don’t want to get too trendy.
I love military-influenced styles for men and women! The trick is to keep only hints of military in the looks: a few buttons or a bit of trim is all...
Comfort Foods
One of the best things about going home is that I get to eat all sorts of foods that bring back great memories for me of growing up and spending time with my family.
Here are a few of them:
Coffee first thing in the morning! With hazelnut creamer. :)
Air-popped popcorn
Turkey dinners at Christmas and Thanksgiving with lots of mashed potatoes and gravy
Shortbread cookies

How tall are you? How much do you weigh?
Well, anonymous question asker, that’s a bit forward, don’t you think?
I kid, I kid.
I’m about 6 feet tall.
And—I don’t know how much I weigh. The last time I weighed myself was my senior year of high school and a bit of my freshmen year of college. I feel like weight is a bad indicator of how my body...

Can you give us a tutorial on how you trim your bangs? What scissors do you use, etc? Thanks!!
I’m totally going to create a video later today! That, and some how-to-wear outfit pics. I’ve got a lot on the agenda!

I’m a PR student and I was wondering how creative I can get while making my resume. Is it acceptable to have a color scheme that matches on my resume, business cards and website? Should I stick with black and white? What makes an internship application/job application stand out in PR?
Color schemes are tricky. They catch my eye if I’m reading resumes, definitely, but avoid anything too...

Are you religious?
This is a hard question for me to answer. I was raised in the Seventh-day Adventist church, but I have a lot of issues with it. I suppose if I had to label myself, I would do so as SDA. I have made it a point to focus on spirituality instead. Am I a good person? Do I make sound decisions? Have I hurt people—and, if so, how can I fix it? Those are more important questions...

I know you are very busy but I miss your wardrobe posts! You have such cute clothes!
I hear you! I miss doing them! I think my New Year’s resolution is going to be posting more outfits. What’s a style blog without knowing the style of the blogger, right?
In fact, I have to take a couple photos tonight to review some items—so you may get some outfit posts from...

Now that you’ve had your bangs for several weeks, what do you think?
I love my bangs! I like that I can do them over my forehead or also part them on the side. I’m glad that they aren’t super-full or super-blunt either. The only beef I have is that my hair grows like a weed so I have to keep trimming them! I’m gonna have to trim them again tonight or...

How do you know when you have met the one?
I guess that’s the million dollar question, right? And to complicate matters further: there’s the stories of people remarrying after a spouse died and purporting the fact that you can indeed have more than one soul mate.
I think that a lot of women get trapped into idealizing their future spouse. He must be this tall, this...
Lots of fun stuff today!
As a pre-Christmas treat, I have lots of good stuff in store for you today:
A Christmas movie you probably haven’t seen but need to!

Want leggings that look like jeans? I’ll find them for you!
If you’re getting married sometime in 2010, I’ll be posting my favorite new wedding trends,...

What do you (and Brandon) do for a living?
I work in PR and Brandon is a sales manager. We both make a conscious effort never to take for granted the fact that we have jobs right now. We count ourselves very lucky and we don’t forget it!
Now, what I WISH I did for a living was blog full-time and run a personal shopping/wedding planning business with Tatiana. Check back...

If you work crazy hours, how do you deal with the pups? Are they home alone all day? Don’t they go insane?
We both work crazy hours, but let me assure you—my dogs are well-taken care of…spoiled in fact. I make sure they get plenty of exercise and cuddle time.

Why didn’t you mention how wonderful your mom is? I hear she is an incredible person who “gets” you too? Just wondering when she will be mentioned in your blogs.
Hi Mother. You are indeed incredible and wonderful and you “get” me. See you tomorrow!

What ethnicity/ies are you? You have a great exotic look!
An exotic look? Oh my!
I’m Canadian-American, I guess you could say. I have two passports (quite handy) and the majority of my family still lives in Canada.
I’m not too exotic, sorry to say! I inherited a lot of physical traits from the Scandinavian side of my family who immigrated from Sweden and Norway to...

You probably have answered this before, but I’ve been wondering since I started following you. Why don’t you and Brandon live together (all the time)? Is he in school somewhere else?
Ha, this is hilarious. Brandon and I absolutely live together. We live in Maryland in a townhouse together. But he—and I—work all the time. All the time. I don’t get to...

How many kids do you want? How many dogs? :)
An even number of kids! 2, 4—but let’s stop before we get to six, hmm?
And as far as dogs…I’d own as many as I could handle. Two is all I can handle right now, but check back in 20 years. I may be the creepy lady next door with 15 dogs.

What do you love most about your husband and what do you think he loves most about you?
The thing I love most about Brandon is that he is one of two people in this world that truly GETS me. The other person is my little sister, who has the advantage of 20 years of knowing me. I have never met anyone who can laugh at the same things I laugh at or at things that I think are funny...
