Who are you? In 100 words or less (a hundred words usually comes out to a small paragraph).
You last meal consists of two things, what is it:Vegetables and Brown rice. I have labeled my family ‘Flexetarians’. We have been vegetarians and vegans for certain periods of our life. In the past I have been frustrated with individuals who would make fun of my vegetarian diet or question whether the way my family ate was ‘healthy’. Or then be teased in periods when I did eat meat for not being a then strict vegan. Labels can be annoying, especially for a girl who finds herself in the grey area of life. To me food is more about the health benefits and my love of good tasting food. My husband and I do strive to continue to use food as fuel for our bodies and some nights may be a vegan meal, while another we may be eating fish. The important part for us is to be flexible, and embrace new ideas and keep life enjoyable.
Two websites aside from email/facebook/twitter that you go to the most:
Pinterest.com
I did not want to join, finally got sucked in and it is a great place to find ideas, inspiration and motivation.
Two favorite cities and why…This is really hard for me to answer because I could easily put a number of two city combinations here. I have traveled so much in just 29 years of life. I am going to side with emotional reasons for places being my ‘favourite’, and perhaps not the wonders that I saw.
3. What?What do you do for a living?
I am a mum first and foremost to two boys. I also work as a hair designer at two salons here in Burgess Hill and Brighton. On top of that I am a freelance pro photographer who specializes in lifestyle portraiture and fashion and a makeup artist trained in airbrush makeup. I love being creative.
What was the first and last album you bought?
What is your nickname, how did it come about?
‘BonBon’ is the nickname most people come up with who become close acquaintances or friends in my life. I have a close friend who calls me Bonzai. Not sure how he came about with that one, but I like it a lot. My sister calls me ‘B’ which I may prefer over Bonnie.
What tattoos do you have if any?
After my father passed away I got his plane tattooed on my forearm, an F-111E. Without meaning too I have added to the tattoo by burning my arm on an iron while protecting my kids from it. Now my plane looks like it has a jet stream leaving it. I also have an outline of a black star on my right foot by the toes for my Esther, my favourite female in the bible.
4. IF.
If you could anywhere in the world, all expenses paid, where would you go?New Zealand. Closely followed by Russia and Morocco. I chose New Zealand because it was one of the those places I wish I had gone when I went backpacking around Australia. I am a huge avid fan of Tolkien’s books like the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Having seen the films many times over I would love to go see those beautiful landscapes in person.
If you could only pick one person to go with you on this trip who would it be?
My partner Ryan. The last place we got to go on a real trip to was Thailand back when I was pregnant with our first child. We were there for the summer doing mission work and helping Thais practice their English. Since then I have gotten to go back to Thailand and go to Cambodia. My husband has gotten to go explore Japan shortly after the tsunami last year and is going to Marrakech, Morocco shortly with his classmates from University. I look forward to getting to actually getting to go on travels and trips with him around the world together. It is a passion of mine and something we have not gotten to do much of with his previous commitments with the military.
If your friends were to describe you what would they say?
It might depend who you ask and what country they are from to say how they would describe me. In England, I am perceived as an American. In the USA I was perceived as not really American but a girl from Europe. Despite whatever cultural differences people may describe about me I would think they would say that I was passionate, creative, driven, and loving mother.
