My favorite meal requires pan fried oyster mushrooms with baby leeks and side salad of greens fresh from the Farmer’s Market.

When dining out it’s sweet potato sushi roll, edamame, and miso soup with tons of seaweed.

I’ve never been one for bronzer. I’m a pale girl who doesn’t like to tan, I will use a nice highlighter for sheen and sparkle, but bronzer makes me look orange. I don’t like acrylic nails either, I just can’t type as fast with long nails!

I love lipstick and lipgloss. Most of my colors are dark or dramatically bright. I’m just getting into neutrals. I love pigmented eyeshadows and bright eyeliners.

Biggest splurge would be my tall oxblood Doc Martens that I got years ago. Biggest steal would be my favorite purple purse that looks much more expensive than it is.

I’m an activist for gender equality, equal rights, and marriage equality for all. I can be a forceful recycler!

I would probably be Allison Reynolds (Ally Sheedy’s character in The Breakfast Club) all grown up. Still a bit awkward, but coming out of my shell little by little.
