1. What is the worst first date you’ve ever been on?
Yikes! There have been too many. I’d have to say meeting someone in person that I met while online dating (GASP!) and him turning out to look nothing like I expected. Photos can be deceiving.
2. What is the most embarrassing event to have happened to you on a run or at the gym?
Geez, I am pretty clutzy. I have fallen so many times on a run that it’s hard to nail down one shining moment.
3. What is your dream job?
I would love to work behind the scenes as a producer at one of the entertainment television stations like E! or Bravo. Since health and fitness is also my passion, I would also like to get certified as a personal trainer and maybe have my own gym or spin studio. One day!
4. What is your all-time favorite TV show?
I love me some reality television. Anything on Bravo especially Real Housewives. It’s one of my guilty pleasures!
5. Dog or Cat?
We have a family dog named Brady and he is the cutest. So definitely dogs. How cute was he as a babe?
6. Who is your celebrity husband/wife? (if you could marry a celebrity, who would it be?)
Boris Kodjoe
7. What inspires you?
The stillness of morning and a new day, starting out on a clean slate.
8. What is your biggest accomplishment, to date?
Becoming a group fitness instructor. It’s something I’ve always shied away from and said I was afraid to do but it’s opened up so many amazing doors for me. I am more passionate about it now than I’ve ever been before.
9. What has been your favorite vacation?
Roatan, Hondurus. I just loved the natives there and the water is a beautiful turquoise color.
10. What is your comfort food?
My version of lazy girl mac and cheese. A big bowl of it and I will go to town!
11. If you could go back in time, who would you want to meet?
Marilyn Monroe or Rosa Parks.
Now for my 11 random things that may make you scratch your head in wonder, laugh, or both.
-I am a master at any of those fighting video games like Mortal Kombat and Tekken…definitely the queen of mashing all the buttons and coming up with the MOST killer fighting moves. K.O.!
-My first gig as a fitness instructor was teaching a Latin-inspired class called Danceaton. The lead instructor Gaby convinced me to teach so I began my journey there and did that for about a year. It was like one big dance party! I credit her for helping me to become the confident instructor that I am today.
Here’s a silly vid of us in action. Can you find me?
-I don’t like loud lipstick. It looks awful on me! Pretty nude shades all day long.
-I think pink running shoes have magical powers.
-I would rather wear leggings and dresses than pants ANY DAY. So comfy.
-I love to drive barefoot and dance in the car.
-My favorite thing to do at the end of the day is chill out on the couch and listen to jazz music. I’m kind of an old lady.
-Tazo chai tea with a little bit of honey can turn any day around.
-Also…I don’t know how to swim…definitely something I must work on!

You’re very welcome! Love reading the random tidbits 🙂
Yay! I enjoyed reading yours too!
Boris Kodjoe. . . . YES.
And I would rather wear summer dresses than pants any day. We have casual day on Friday but I never wear jeans — a dress is just so much more comfortable. I so agree!
Yep, dresses every day at work for me too! I am loving sundresses right now with denim jackets.
You don’t know how to swim?! Craziness- girl, you better learn!!
I know right?! I had a little incident when I was young where I almost drowned when I was learning to swim so I never had a huge desire to do anything in a pool but I am feeling like I need to!
Make note: We should probably never get stuck in the ocean together. LOL I mean, I could swim to save my life but won’t go too far with my form. Awfulllllll.
I love learning new things about Chelsea!!! I so need to get certified to teach a class. Would love to do it instead of working a 9-5 job.
And of course, Thank you for nominating me. You are too sweet! Now, let’s see if I can work on it! (PS I do like your questions!).
Yeah we would be done for if we were in the ocean!! Totally wish I could just teach classes all day if it paid the bills. haha, sigh.
WOW! You nominated me! Why thank you! 🙂 Oh and Boris Kodjoe you cannot have him he is mine. Sorry I had 1st dibs! lol
Girl he is my dreamboat! I actually met him at the Grove while shopping at Whole Foods visiting in L.A. and he’s just as handsome in person!
Lucky you! I hear he has a brother who is equally as gorge!
Thanks very much for the nomination. Real Housewives…always good fun!
Yes! and New Jerz is coming on soon! Woohoo!!
ok…I’ll answer this one:
■What is the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done?
– I never “dated” my hubby…we just got married…and it was the BEST decision I could have ever made. He is my BEST friend, and we enjoy life’s adventures together!
Wow! That is awesome!! Sounds like you guys have some fun times together!!
Thanks for thinking of us!! I’m a terrible swimmer. I’ve gotten really good at the dead man’s float, though, so should I even get stranded I think I could float for a while.
Dead man’s float! I don’t even think I know how to do that, haha! You have to teach me 🙂
You just lay on your back and hope to god no waves come.
Thanks for the nomination!
I love learning random facts about people haha I love that you listen to jazz to unwind. I’m not a huge fan, but it sounds nice to just chill and listen to music. Sounds like an amazing job you had, I love the fast pace kind of jobs.
You’re welcome!
Oh, Brady is such a cutie! 🙂 Thanks for the nomination, by the way. Have a great weekend!
You’re welcome and you too!
You’re sweet for nominating me! I’ll work on a blog post this weekend.
