Below are 7 facts about me! 

1) Somehow I always manage to get sick or have motion sickness on trips.

2) I am fluent in Spanish and can both read and write it; in fact, I once drafted a mini script all in Spanish for an assignment and really enjoyed it. Need to get back into practicing it though. 🙂

3) I find snails absolutely terrifying and creepy.

4) Lois Duncan and Joan Lowery Nixon were two authors whose books I couldn’t stop reading during my teenage years. Locked in Time is still one of my favorites of all time.

5) I am signed up to to take a Cosmetic Chemistry course at UCLA this month and I am beyond thrilled.

6) I have this weird thing where I am intuitive to certain people. I can feel their emotions and know things about them without them telling me.  I do not pick what individuals I have these strong ties too but it’s kind of eerie at times to say the least. It freaks people out, and me. By chance, does anyone else have this or know why this happens?

7) One talent I wish I had was the ability to sing.

Hope you enjoyed those 7 random facts about me and make sure to check out the blogs mentioned above;you’ll get lifestyle, health, poetry, writing and more beauty tips. 🙂

Thanks for tuning in,

Stephanie

Questions from Chanelle

  1. What is your favourite holiday and why?

I would have to say Christmas because I get to spend time with all of my family that has a great holiday spirit, whether we are having an ugly sweater contest, decorating silly hats, eating delicious food and desserts, or finding elves on shelves.  Throw in Christmas lights and music (yes, I do love me some Christmas tunes) and it’s the best time of the year- minus of course all the traffic, rude people, etc.

  1. What was the last movie you watched?

How the Grinch Stole Christmas- love that movie along with Elf!

  1. Who’s your celebrity crush?

Michael Buble, John Stamos and Johnny Depp to name a few. 🙂

  1. A fashion trend you’ve never understood?

Ugg boots.  No offense to anyone who loves them but I just don’t see what all the hype is about.

  1. Do you have any highlights of 2014?

I was able to meet and assist celebrity esthetician Renee Rouleau!

 

Questions (Katie)

  1. Besides blogging, what are your other hobbies/passions?

I love to dance!  It’s such a great outlet that is both fun and creative.  I also love to read and research different topics on beauty, science and health.  Yes, I am a geek. 🙂

  1. Why did you start blogging?

Starting my blog provided me with a larger platform to share what I know/have learned about skincare and makeup and to help people with any concerns they had.  There is a plethora of information circulating the internet and unfortunately some of it isn’t accurate.

  1. How did you come up with the name for your blog?

Well my name is Stephanie and I am an esthetician so you get Stephie Estie.  I think it’s catchy, it rhymes and is easy to remember.  (In case you didn’t know how to pronounce Estie, think of it as saying the letters ‘S’ and ‘T’)

  1. What is your next goal in life?

Aside from obtaining more experience in the esthetics field, I am working on completing 100 hours of post-graduate education at the International Dermal Institute.  In the future, I would also love to create my own skincare/makeup line.

  1. Who/What inspires you most?

This is a tough one as there are so many people who inspire me.  All of you lovely bloggers inspire me with your creative posts,my readers and their awesome questions or concerns, people who work relentlessly towards their goals, and my mother.  She is one of the strongest persons I know because she has been through so much yet somehow manages to maintain a positive attitude.

5 Questions For My Nominees

1.  What inspired you to write your blog?

2.  If you could pick one high end makeup brand to try, which one would it be and why?

3.  What do you hope to accomplish in 2015?

4.  What is one staple item you couldn’t live without?

5.  What do you do when you aren’t working on your blog?

So there’s another post sharing a little bit more insight on me. 🙂

Thanks for reading, 

Stephanie
