feature + giveaway: amanda k by the bay
Today, I have the pleasure of bringing to you Amanda of Amanda K. By the Bay. I met Amanda right after I started blogging and have loved her ever since! She has the cutest blog, is a makeup specialist, and is always posting great recipes and cute outfits. If you've never checked her out, now is the time, my friends! I was able to ask Amanda a few questions about who she is and why she blogs. Listen in and then join us for a special giveaway!

TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF?
I'm a recent college graduate (psychology major)
and Clinique consultant living in a small town about 2 hours north of Seattle.
I live with my boyfriend of six years, Tommy, and our kitty Atticus (who we
sometimes treat like a baby). I love drinking coffee like it's going out of
style, watching Arrested Development, baking things when I should be going to
the gym, and singing loudly, alone in my car. I hope to soon attend grad school
in order to have a career helping people live happier and healthier
lives.
WHY DID YOU START YOUR BLOG?
One
day I was looking at old pictures on my computer, and realized I didn't have
that many! I started my blog soon after as motivation to better document my
life and pursue photography as a hobby. It quickly grew into not only
documenting life, but sharing my interests with other bloggers (food, style,
pretty things, and the Pacific Northwest). I love how kind and supporting the blogging
world is. I have met so many wonderful and inspiring ladies!
FAVORITE POSTS?
One of my favorite posts is definitely not the best or most
polished, but it reminds me why I started my blog in the first place. It's
simply a post about Tommy and me visiting a few breweries and hanging out by the
ocean for a day, titled "Some beer by the bay." It was such a fun day, and I'm so glad I now have that day captured in a blog
post. My other favorite post would be my recipe for Red Curry Coconut Milk Soup. So, so yummy!
WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
Other
blogs, Washington state, Pinterest (duh! haha), magazines, lazy mornings, my
kitchen, and empty closet space.
