50 COMPLETELY RANDOM QUESTIONS PEOPLE RARELY ASK

Last Updated on 2020-05-09 by Linda

Last week I was reading Molly’s post and I loved the random questions concept.  I figured it was a great way to share some silly in a time of total seriousness.  Come read some quirky questions and  tag me if you decide to share too.

 

1. What’s your favorite candle scent? Anything is a triple win in my book.  I am also totally addicted to the ‘Yankee Candle Autumn Wreath.  Little secret any Bath and Body works scent can be found in my house but I truly revert back to vanilla.

2. What female celebrity do you wish you were related to? For beauty tips and positive reinforcement I gotta go with Jennifer Aniston, but Reese Witherspoon is a close second

 

3. What male celebrity do you wish was your brother? Tough one here, I am thinking Anderson Cooper. Such respect for that man.

4. What’s your favorite thing about marriage? (And if you’re not married, what’s your favorite thing about being single?)Honestly, my favorite thing about being Common law is just having someone that I know is always there for me with no judgement. Kent is my best friend and I love knowing that he always has my back, is always going to be there for me.
