Get To Know Me: The Woman Behind The Blog PT 2
Black Girl Magic Sparkle by Karissa Tolliver
Hey Guys! In my previous "Get To Know Me Post" I shared some personal things about myself that most people tend to ask. Here are a few more questions that I thought would be great to share with you. Enjoy!
1. Do you have kids? If not why?
No kids as of yet. Never seriously wanted kids until about 3 years ago and the thought has been slowly growing on me. I really want a son, but only after I am married.
2. Do you live alone?
Yes, I love being able to make myself pancakes butt naked in solitude LOL
3. What do you like to do for fun?
Ahh! the notorious question people (especially men) love to ask. I prefer intimate gatherings with my best buds, sitting near the water front in Queens, hosting at my place, organizing my office, museums, spa days, hot yoga, drinking prosecco, beach days, baking cookies, hours at the library or bookstore, and of course writing/reading.
3. What do you find attractive in other people?
I adore people who are comfortable being themselves around me. People who are honest, who get life, and are selfless. I love people who are motivated to do better. People who are positive and down to earth. Those with a genuine feel to them.
4. What made you start a blog?
Honestly I wanted a creative outlet. I wanted something to keep me balanced and accountable for something. This blog would do that and more. It would challenge my procrastination. It would challenge my creativity and writing skills. I launched on my 37th birthday a day I will always remember and celebrate. It's sort of a birth of something new in my life even though I have been writing since I was a teen.
5. What’s the biggest lesson(s) life has taught you?
To just do what you love and forget others opinions. Believe people actions over their words. Never put all your eggs in one basket. I control how my life goes, stop making excuses and passing the blame. Save money by any means necessary, like my grandfather use to say "It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it"
6. What’s your biggest goal in life right now?
To become debt free and live my best life. Also to help others and give back on a large scale.
7. What do you suffer with the most?
Insomnia, procrastination, following rules and being consistent.
8. How do you deal with negative people?
Ignoring them, smiling, and removing myself from their presence.
9. What is something you would love to learn?
To speak Spanish and Mandarin fluently.
10. What are you currently working on?
Starting Dough Dreamers which is a financial support group. Establishing a health and fitness routine. I am thinking of going Keto!
