Vogue’s 73 Questions with The Dating Bitch

Hello again friends! I’m taking a slight detour from my usual repertoire here, so today’s blog post is going to be a tad different. I’ll be answering the Blogger’s edition of Vogue’s 73 Questions so that you can get to know me a little better.

Full disclosure – I actually didn’t have a topic planned for this week (I do want to do a follow up to the last personal story about Max, but… I need more time for that one), so when a fellow blogger on Twitter suggested that I do this, I jumped on it.

So, thank you to Bee from Mind.Beauty.Simplicity for this lovely idea, and hopefully you all enjoy it!
