20 Questions

April 18, 2014 by Hillary 12 Comments

Have you seen this survey roaming around your favorite blogs? This is what we call lazy blogging or a TMI post. Either way, this is how we’re doing Nutrition Nut today. If you’re a newer reader (welcome!), you might learn a thing or two – or twenty – about moi.

 << 20 Questions >>

1. What brings you the most joy? a really tough workout or run // phone conversations with my Grandma // quality time with my mom // hugs

2. What are your vices? ice cream // The Bachelor(ette) // Lululemon

lulu

3. What is on your nightstand? I don’t have a nightstand, fancy that!

4. Do you have a secret talent? Hmmm… not that I can think of. I was a competitive tap dancer.

5. What is your greatest indulgence? self-care (i.e. monthly pedicures) // travel

6. What should every woman try at least once in her life? living alone

7. What makes you laugh? my family & P

8. What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you? I’ve been in 3 TV commercials.

9. What is on your bucket list? Europe & publish a book

10. What is on your feet right now? black crochet Toms

11. How did you make your first dollar? lemonade stands in the summer – my neighbor and I made bank!

12. What superstition do you believe in? I don’t think I am all that superstitious… but I’m not sure I’d fly on Friday the 13th.

13. What items in your closet do you wear the most? Unfortunately, my 2 pairs of Danskos (to work) & I wear my Anthropologie and Gap vests all fall/winter.

14. What is the best gift you have ever received? my college education // family trips to Alaska & Hawaii

15. What is on your liquor shelf? I don’t have a designated liquor shelf. In the summer, you can usually find a bottle of rum in my freezer for raspberry mojitos.

16. What is on your kitchen counter? toaster // my pink KitchenAid mixer // fruit bowl (bananas!) // glass jars filled with oats

17. What would you never leave home without? iPhone

18. What movie has the greatest ending? I’m not a movie gal. Any chick flick ending — predictable and sweet.

19. Who is on the guest list for your ideal dinner party? Robyn Coale // Sarah Cook // Lee Hersh — we’d make and enjoy a healthy gourmet feast!

20. What is one thing you wish you had known when you were younger? 

don't

Happy Weekending!

    Lululemon is definitely my vice/indulgence! An expensive one, but I’m positive it makes me run faster ;)

    What commercials were you in? That sounds fun!

    I completely agree with #6. I lived by myself for 2 years after college and it was the most peaceful time in my life (no offense to my fiancé! haha). I’m also with you on #2 — I actually hit up Lulu this morning, that store is my weakness!

    I think my favorite times are phone calls, visits or vacations with daughters and grandchildren. NOTHING can top them. I’m so happy that Hillary likes to talk with her Grandma. And I just had a long call from your brother. Pure joy while shopping in Safeway!

Instagram post 2188697053505017711_212296339 When you think of Beautycounter, 'small business' may not be the first thing that comes to mind.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A B Corporation founded in 2013 that offers more than 150 products, is an advocacy leader for clean beauty, and was the number one Googled beauty brand in 2018? Not so small.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But, the business I run is truly small. I wear many hats in my role not excluded to owner, mentor, consultant, customer service, accounting, marketing, and so on. I set my own personal goals and do what I can to work toward achieving them.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
While Beautycounter may be a loud voice in the beauty industry, I try to make the relationships with my clients sincere and personal. When you receive a follow-up email or thank you card or gift from me - those are written, purchased, planned, and sent by me. Much thought and many hours are put in behind the scenes.⁣⁣ 📬
⁣⁣
Not only is the majority of my work incredibly enjoyable, it is also entirely rewarding to be able to help you make the switch to safer and get safer products into your home.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Almost two years later, my Beautycounter business continues to grow - thanks to all of you. I am THANKFUL for this opportunity to be your consultant. Thank you for supporting my small business and the clean beauty movement!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
💌 xo,⁣⁣

Instagram post 2183017690054888249_212296339 If you think I’m just selling lipstick, you’re not paying attention. 💄⁣
⁣
Swipe right to see how I feel when someone asks “So, what’s next?” (a.k.a. “When are you going to get a real job?”)⁣
⁣
You see, I don’t look at it like they may: switching from a wonderfully unique job in corporate wellness to “selling skincare and makeup”, working from home (or wherever I please). ⁣
⁣
Instead, I see how aligned my life and career path has been. I went from working for one incredible environmentally-conscious, family-owned company that puts people and the planet first while simultaneously creating a product that leads its craft industry (🍺) to another: a forward-thinking @bcorporation that is transparent about their sourcing/ingredients and advocates for social change while consciously creating personal care products that perform.⁣
⁣
By purchasing @beautycounter ’s beautiful products this holiday season (or any time of year), you’re doing more than gifting a gorgeous lip gloss or luxurious moisturizer. You are voting with your dollar for #cleanbeauty to be the norm; most importantly, you are showing that you give a damn about your health, the health of your loved ones, and the health of our planet.⁣
⁣
For me, it’s all about health — it always has been and always will be. ⁣
⁣

Instagram post 2181017522292059910_212296339 It’s been fun, Hyde Park. ⁣
⁣
As it turns out, staying in an itty bitty AirBNB for 6 weeks(!) while our floors got replaced wasn’t so bad after all. To be honest, I enjoyed the boujee South Tampa life much more than life in the suburbs. ⁣
⁣
I’ll miss walking to free community yoga classes in the village, neighborhood walks with Koba admiring the humongous, historic century old homes, treating myself to many @buddybrewcoffee matcha lattes just because, the 5 minute drive down Bayshore Boulevard to workout at the base gym, and more. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes, most times, it does us justice to shake up our environment. Because what at first seemed like it’d be a headache turned out to be a blessing in disguise — the gift of feeling C A L M when “home base” was in a season of transition. ⁣
⁣
Thanks for a few of my favorite weeks in Florida,⁣
✌🏻HP

Instagram post 2169125642797255035_212296339 My first yoga class in almost ✌🏻years!⁣
⁣
Woke up early, had a cup of decaf, took Koba on a cool walk around the neighborhood, and then walked to @lululemon for their free Sunday morning yoga class. It was humbling to say the least.⁣
⁣
The sounds of the singing bowl while in savasana reminded me of my beloved classes with @lisaweberyoga and then strolling through the monthly farmer’s market afterwards... for a brief moment, I felt at home.

Instagram post 2168509648563100656_212296339 life update 〰️⁣
⁣
We’ve been temporarily out of our (rental) house since October 14 because the floors needed to be replaced. Nick’s been traveling a lot for work lately and Koba and I traveled to Colorado only to return to staying in an @airbnb for an unknown amount of time (of course a two week project is now looking closer to 4-5 weeks).⁣
⁣
We could be moving out of state soon, but that’s up in the air, too. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Needless to say, nothing really feels settled. Even though our house is completely gutted, most of our things are difficult to access, and I’m living out of my suitcase, Nick and I are oddly enough enjoying this AirBNB (appropriately named The Tree House) more than our home.⁣
⁣
While it is no bigger than a shoe box with a pint sized kitchen, we *feel better* here. Nestled in Old Hyde Park, I can walk the 3 blocks to my favorite local coffee shop for an iced oat milk matcha latte and window shop at @lululemon. Unlike the busy suburb in which we live, people are constantly outside walking their dogs, jogging, playing with their kids at the park, chatting with friends by the fountain. These little things all bring me a silly amount of joy.⁣
⁣
It’s often during times of change and uncertainty that I recognize the important things — the shit that matters. ⁣
⁣
I recognize my ability to be flexible when I am a homebody at heart. I recognize my longing for community and that small town, local vibe. I am grateful for my jobs that allow me to work from literally anywhere, and I feel really lucky to have Nick and Koba by my side. One day, sooner than later, we will look back and laugh at these Florida memories. 🌴⁣
