My own Q&A #3: What is your favorite part of the day?'

1. What is something you try to remember to do every day?
Brush my teeth and shower. Oh and Dave and I ask each other "What is your favorite part of the day?" every single night. We also try to write it down if we are not too lazy!

2. My favorite form of exercising?
It used to be dancing but now it is swimming. Swimming is actually easy for me and I love the water. The 92Y has chlorine-free, ozone-cleaned water therefore, I do not have to worry about dipping in chlorine for an hour (which dries my skin and hair). I also like any type of group workout that is fun and new. I recently joined Racked for their monthly fitness club. This month, we did a "Pain and Pleasure" class at David Barton and a H2Ohm (surf yoga) class at Crunch. I wouldn't mind doing this weekly!

3. What is something you do not want to share?
Not that we are thinking of having a baby any time soon but we do already have a baby name in mind. It's "unisex" but probably better for a girl. It is a name we have agreed upon therefore, it is something you don't want to toy with. I would not be happy if someone we knew picked the same name for their kid so we rather not share it.

4. What is one thing you wish you were good at?
Ah..one thing? I have soooo many! I know that I want to be better at doing math because it is embarrassing to be doing additions and subtractions with my imaginary fingers. I'd also like to do multiplications or divisions without a calculator like my mom can! I also wish I could be a better writer and convey my ideas with more ease, which would definitely be beneficial for blogging.

5. What is something new you tried recently?
Ethiopian food and eating with my hands!

My own Q&A #2: I like facials and massages

1. Cats or dogs?
Both. As long as they are cute and cuddly, I will love them.
Although I am allergic to cats, I still cannot resist getting close to them. The cats you see in the picture above belong to my sister and whenever I see them, I like to rub my face in their fluffy fur. They are totally worth the sufferance.

2. Most expensive indulgences?
Getting a facial or massage.

3. What is something in New York you are not used to?
Saying metro instead of subway. It is the Canadian in me.

4. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
Remove ALL pollutants and toxins in all our food, clothes, skincare, farms....everything on planet Earth. Do you know how big of a difference that would make for humanity as well as nature? Everything would be less complicated and I bet the risk of cancers would diminish by a million fold! I would also worry less about what I put in my mouth or put on my skin.

5. What is one food you love but can live without.
What is edible in the world that I have not tried and therefore passively know that I can live without it. Okay, that's not fair. Hmm.. in this moment, I would say beef tartare. I love salmon tartare more :) I can live without okra too.

My own Q&A #1: I like surprises

on my birthday in 2012. 

1. What is your dream job?
To own my own little boutique in the heart of a growing neighborhood so I can stand out and be unique.

2. What would you sell?
Curated pieces of things I love. I know there are many stores that do this but it would make me happy to share things I love with everyone. Perhaps things I have spotted during my travels and desired. Examples: Alpaca throws from South America and 99.99% silver bracelets and cuffs from Yunnan, China. And to be interesting, I'd even sell imported cheese curds from Quebec which I love!

3. What makes you happy?
Surprises. Anything unexpected including small gestures.

4. What would you like to change about yourself but have difficulty doing so?
Being grumpy when not fed.

5. Favorite song of all time?
Oof. This one is hard. I have so many! I usually fall in love with a song and then kill it by playing it non-stop. Right now, I'm looping 'XO' by Beyoncé and 'Wake up' by Arcade Fire.
