Q&A

Q&A

Where are you from?

I was born in the Philippines and moved to Texas when I was four years old.

What does the P stand for in your middle name?

Funny fact, I was actually born on a ship called the Princess, hence my middle name is Princess. They say babies born on ships are extra lucky!

How tall are you?

I am 5′ 2” on a good day.

How did you meet your husband?

We use to work together!  Read more of how our love story came about here.

What camera do you use?

I use a Sony A6000 with a 50 mm lens. *** We just upgraded to a full frame and bought my dream camera. The pictures and the videos are amazing! Here is the new 35mm lens we got which we love for a more wide angled shot!

Who takes your pictures?

My husband mostly, but I also work with several bloggers in Houston for photography exchange. If I work with a professional photographer I make sure to credit their work for reference. 

What do you use to edit your photos?

I use Lightroom for almost all of my editing, or if it’s on Instagram I will also use the edit feature on the app. There are tons of great photo editing apps however I like to simplify and those two are what works best for me.

What is one beauty product you can’t live without?

Lip balm. I cannot leave the house without having one in my bag and in my car. I also have it in my night stand.  It really bothers me to have dry lips. I can go without makeup but I cannot go without lip balm, and a good face moisturizer of course! I swear by this lip balm. I use it everyday.

What is your workout routine?

Running around trying to keep up with my kiddo. Lol but really though when I am not chasing my toddler around, I love going to the gym and weight training. If you want to see more check out my fitness post and videos here.

Why did you start a blog? 

Before I even knew what a blog was, I started this site when I was pregnant because I wanted to document my life as a new mom and my son’s month to month milestone with my family. When I actually became a mom and quit my job, I realized I needed a creative outlet to share my passion for fitness and fashion. My mom documentary eventually became my blog. You can read more of why I blog and how I got started here.


What advice would you give to a new blogger?

Stay true to who you are and to always remember why you started blogging. It can be so easy to lose your way or to get discouraged when you are playing the comparison game. For more blogging tips check out these post here.
