All them questions

I’ve been tagged by lovely #intsujunior to answer ‘getting to know you’ questions. I haven’t done anything like this before, so I’m trying my best :)

Repost this. Do not reblog. Tag some people you want to get to know better.

Questions:

Name: Hillary

Nicknames: Hill (my friends are creative)

What country do you live in: US

Last time you danced: I car dance quite frequently.

 Do you prefer cool or warm climates?: Cool! I loooove fall weather and I'd rather wear cardigans than tank tops.

Zodiac Sign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIVtma0fN7w

Do you have any pets? If so, names and what they are: One feisty formerly wild cat named Sunny. I can't wait until I can adopt a dog and take him/her on daily hike adventures but right that's not a possibility.

Height: 5'4"

Do you prefer partners taller, shorter, or the same height as you? I only recently developed a preference of taller or the same height.

Favorite fruit: Bananas and cherries, it's a tie!

Where do you go to chill-out and de-stress?: My bath tub! It's the best de-stresser.

Name five of your favorite scents: Specialty caramels we sell at our store (they smell ammmazing!) vanilla, home baked bread, pine trees (real trees, not the fake candle scent) and finally that fresh out of the shower clean smell.

Do you have any tattoos or piercings? What and where: One large tattoo of birds representing non-conformity on my left inner bicep, one quote tattoo on my right arm and just my ears pierced.

Last song you sang: Hmmm not sure.

What color are your eyes? Blue. I have a friend who has a mom who comments on my eyes every time she sees me. I kinda love it. :)

If you could only watch ONE TV show, which one would it be? The Daily Show. At least I'd be satirically informed.

Do you have any motivational quotes hanging up in your house? What’s your favorite one?: Ohhhh I love my quotes. I have several in my room right now. My favorites are "Don't be like the rest of them, darling." and "the best is yet to come."

Most people have a ‘specialty’ that they always cook for special occasions, what is yours?:

Cheese dip with beans, cream cheese and shredded cheese. It's fricking delicious.

Are your toenails painted? What color?:

I suck at painting my nails but I do get pedicures when I know people are going to see my feet. Actually, I get pedicures when I know men are going to see my feet, which is funny 'cause men do not care.

Have you ever lost a toenail or fingernail? Nope.

Do you drive? On the left or right side of the road? You could call it that haha. I'm not the greatest driver, especially now in the winter.

Have you gotten any traffic tickets in the last year? It's been a while KNOCK ON A BIG CHUNK OF WOOD! (I used to get A LOT of tickets, back when I wasn't semi-terrified of driving haha.)

Are you superstitious? Not really but I believe in jinxing things.

I tag: #petrichor-and-lavender #whatacuriousplan #avocad-ho  and #belle-of-louisville

  I clearly don't know how this tagging thing works haha.
