My Bloggy Bestie: Karly

01/30/14 | assorted, blogging

After Janna took over my blog yesterday, today I bring you my bloggy BFF Karly, she is even more amazing in real life than she is on her blog. While I am still recovering from this really fun knee surgery Kar is going to entertain you today – without further ado:  

Hi, I’m Karly and this is my dog Hufflepuff.

We blog over at Karly Kim.  I do most of the writing, but he helps with visuals.  

We have been in love with Kelly since our first blate.   And for some reason she keeps letting me hang out with her. 


 
I hope you enjoy getting to know a little bit about me.  I broke the information down into categories and kept it short because who wants to read a novel?  And more importantly, I don’t have the brain power to write one. 

Five things I have a passion for
1.  Mouthwash – I truly believe the world would be a better place if everyone used it.
2.  Underground rap battles
3.  High heels
4.  The person who invented eyeliner
5.   Laughter

Five things I’d like to do before I die
1.  Invent a new candy
2.  Learn how to play the piano
3.  Have a butler.  Preferably Geoffrey from Fresh Prince if he’s available.
4.  Hoard pets
5.  Leave the world a happier place.

Five reads I love
1.  Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn 
2.  A Million Little Pieces by James Frey
3.  Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella 
4.  Bossypants by Tina Fey  
5.  My Horizontal Life by Chelsea Handler

Five favorite movies
1.  Life is Beautiful
2.  Mean Girls
3.  The Notebook
4.  Bad Boys 2
5.  Grease

Five places I’d want to travel to
1.  Des Moines, Iowa – because why not?
2.  Phuket, Thailand
3.  The Maldives
4.  Curichiba, Brazil
5.  Toronto

Five things you’ll learn from my blog
1.  What to do after you meet Hugh Hefner
2.  How to get cast on The Bachelor
3.  What to do when everyone thinks you’re crazy
4.  The Rules of Feminism
5.  How to spend money on things you don’t need
