What’s your usual Starbucks order?
Depending on my mood, I alternate between ordering a Venti Iced Mocha with Almond Milk or a Berry Hibiscus Refresher.
-
What does your work station look like?
My actual job is behind a Mac desktop computer and space is cluttered since I share this space with several co-workers. If we’re talking homework, my workspace is typically in a sunny spot next to a window at the school library. Finally, from a blogging perspective, I’m typically holed up in a cafe or snuggled up in my bed typing away on my laptop.
Coffee shops like Cafe Nero a favorite for blog writing & planning
-
All-time favorite food?
Loaded nachos with cheese, chicken, jalapenos, olives, scallions, lettuce, spicy chicken or pulled pork, guacamole, and salsa.
-
Favorite author?
C.S. Lewis will forever be one of my favorite authors.
-

20. What’s your favorite kind of blog post to do?
I love writing reviews, but these posts take me the longest to write given how thorough I am in vetting each product and writing all the pros and cons. Also, I try to include a mix of flat lays, swatches, and demos – which take a while to shoot and edit.
I’m a makeup junkie
21. What do you like to collect?
LOL – makeup, but I don’t refer to it as collecting because I only keep what I use. A lesser known fact about me: I love collecting old magazines because they’re like little mini time machines. Also, I have a MASSIVE T-shirt collection from the 100+ concerts I’ve been to over the years.

Fall – New England during the Fall is unbeatable.

Christmas – love everything about it.
34. Which fictional character do you relate to the most?
Lara Jean from To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. I felt this way when I watched the film but felt even stronger about my connection to her after reading the book. Weirdly enough, I’ve had quite a few people tell me I embodied Lara Jean’s spirit and personality.
35. Do you like surprises?
I do, but I’m hard to surprise… and I do read movie spoilers. Sorry, not sorry.
36. What’s the biggest surprise you ever had?
My friends surprised me with a birthday party once, but I did catch wind of what they were doing before I actually had the surprise LOL.

38. What’s the best surprise you’ve ever given someone?
My partner lost his favorite sunglasses coming home from a week-long vacation; I surprised him by tracking down and buying him the same sunglasses. He didn’t expect it.
39. Do you like muffins?
I used to enjoy them more before I was Gluten-Free.

Anchorman and The 40-Year-Old Virgin were surprisingly funny films.

Anyone that knows me in real life knows that I cry watching nearly every movie and sometimes I’ll even cry at commercials lol. I sobbed the first time I watched The Passion of Christ because of how deeply moving I found the film.

The Newbury Girl says

You have such lofty dreams, I cannot wait to see you get there one day!
Your flat lay for the Aladdin collection is so apt and beautiful!!!
I follow nathan too! His alien illustrations are so adorable and hilarious!!!
This was so fun to read! I hope more people do it because its so interesting to learn about someone! And for you, I’ve learnt that you are such a go-getter! How cool!
The Newbury Girl says
September 19, 2019 at 9:48 pmI’ve actually not read the Cat Chronicles book yet, but I loved the reviews I had read… because it seemed like it was a deeply emotional read. Thank you so much for the well wishes – really hoping that I’ll get to my dream job eventually. 🙂
UGH those Alien Illustrations kill me… I’m glad you like them too. I love Heybobguy, too!! <3
Cordelia. says
September 20, 2019 at 4:10 amOhh, I’d love to hear your thoughts once you’ve started! HAHAH Thank you for introducing me to another one!!
Carmen says
September 12, 2019 at 4:10 pmThis was so fun to read, you always find out so much about the blogger behind it all. I don`t know if you got to it yet or not, but The Travelling Cat Chronicles was one of my favourite books of 2018. The ending made me cry so much.
The Newbury Girl says
September 19, 2019 at 9:49 pmAHHHH I haven’t read it yet, because I’m trying to finish up two series I’ve been reading… but I really want t oread it! I’ve only heard wonderful things … so this makes me want to read it even more!!

Jackie says
September 12, 2019 at 4:27 pmI loved reading this!! That cafe you posted is to die for. I would love to experience fall in New England; maybe one day. And I feel you about living rent-free. I live with my grandpa and he doesn’t charge me rent and it’s nice to have that stress alleviated.
The Newbury Girl says
September 19, 2019 at 9:51 pmI agree – living with family can def alleviate so much stress so i’m very grateful! Caffe Nero is so cozy feeling inside, BUT they’re way stricter than Starbucks about bringing in outside food/drinks lol.
Geraldine says
September 12, 2019 at 6:33 pmAh this is soo nice! I never tried a Berry Hibiscus refresher from Starbucks but it sounds delish. ALSO THAT CAFE. It looks super cozy, I’d love to be there. Always. Hahha! You’re totally right, fall in New England is SOO beautiful. I love driving through the forest in the Fall. Loved reading this LP! Thanks for sharing!

The Newbury Girl says
September 19, 2019 at 9:52 pmNew England is def so underrated during the Fall when the leaves are changing. I’m glad that I’ve learned to appreciate more of the greenery and the beauty of the area as I’ve gotten older.
Des | itsbetterinheels says
September 13, 2019 at 12:55 amYay! I’ve learned so much about your personality and my friend is obsessed with ‘To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before,’ she says the book version is so much better. ‘Be flexible’ is actually really great advice and can not only be applied to relationships but to LIFE experiences over all. Omg, you’re not a fan of tomatoes?! Lol, my husband isn’t either.
Thank you for sharing with us! And the photos are great addition.
Des | itsbetterinheels
The Newbury Girl says
September 19, 2019 at 9:55 pmUgh girl – being Italian American and disliking tomatoes AND not being able to eat wheat is such a struggle lol!
Alex Grace says
September 13, 2019 at 6:39 amMulan is my favourite too! Love it when the princess’ are also strong too
The Newbury Girl says
September 19, 2019 at 9:55 pmShe is such a badass!!
gabbyabigailll says
September 13, 2019 at 3:41 pmWhy are we so alike? OMG. I also live with my parents and I’m not embarrassed either. I’m 22 but I’m so attached to them, lol. I’m grateful to live with the people I most love on this planet. Could you believe I have never blogged at a cafe? I definitely want to try that. I usually only blog in my office. Sometimes in bed (which for some reason I hate doing because I can’t concentrate lol)
Even though I kind of knew some of these answers already 😛 I had fun learning new things about you, girl. My blogging twin :’)
Much love always,

September 19, 2019 at 9:58 pmahhh so glad we connected, girl. <3 Love having a blogger friend who I can relate to… I'm a few years older, but still under 30 lol! Blogging in a cafe is def my favorite space to be – I feel so much more productive!

September 14, 2019 at 11:45 pmI always love working at a cafe. The background noise and environment makes a nice difference. You can never go wrong with nachos. Oh man, I need to get on your level with pre-writing my posts! I am usually the “on the week of” kind of persn @__@. I think you would make a great CMO! You do such a good work. Love these answers! Ariana Grande is queen!!!
Nancy ♥ exquisitely.me
The Newbury Girl says
September 19, 2019 at 9:59 pmI love having that low hum of noise!! I used to “wing it” with my writing, but I found that I struggled with consistency when I didn’t schedule ahead of time.
Teen Beauty Central says
September 15, 2019 at 1:45 am“Expect I don’t feel guilty” haha that’s practically my life motto! 😂
The Newbury Girl says

Hunida says
September 19, 2019 at 3:54 amAw yay, so happy you decided to do one of these posts, LP. I loved learning more about you!
What you said about collecting magazines is so cute, they are totally like mini time machines. I’ve never thought of them like that. I don’t think it’s embarrassing at all that you’re living with your parents, that’s truly so lucky & smart of you. 🙂 & How you answered #37 melted my heart. <3
Thanks for sharing with us!!
The Newbury Girl says
September 19, 2019 at 10:15 pmAwww lol – I’m so weird about sharing certain personal details, but there was genuinely nothing else I could think of for that answer!
