Friday Q&A: Our Favorite Place To Travel, Eyeliner I Use, Meals I Cook, and More

It’s FriYay! Last weekend, Neil, the kids and I spent the weekend up in Lake Tahoe again. It was our third trip in 6 weeks and boy did we have fun. If you watch my Instagram stories, you can see how much snow Lake Tahoe got over the course of three trips. So pretty. I also ended up buying more pjs for the boys to match Emma and me. So watch out for that picture coming soon. Ha! This week, I got some great questions and I have answered those all below for my Friday Q&A.

Friday Q&A

1. What place was your favorite to travel to?

Well….I love all the places I have travelled for different reasons. I absolutely fell in love with Venice, Italy. The food was amazing, the people were extremely friendly and it’s just such a unique spot to visit. However, if I had to pick one place that I loved the most, it would be Jamaica. Neil and I got married in Ochos Rios so Jamaica will always hold a special place in my heart. We literally laid on the beach all day, snorkeled, got married, sang karaoke (after quite a few drinks), and met a lot of amazing people. I will never forget this trip and if I ever do….Neil has video of me singing RESPECT at the top of my lungs just in case!

2. What kind of false eyelashes do you use daily?

I actually do not wear these at all. Yes, it’s true. I have naturally long, thick curly eyelashes. I don’t do anything to them except put on this Armani Mascara. My kids have all been blessed with these same eyelashes as well. Neil always jokes they came from him, but it’s apparent who passed that on.

3. Where is your favorite place to eat when you visit Lake Tahoe?

SO, us Wagner’s have quite a routine when we visit Lake Tahoe. There are some really great places to eat but by far our favorite place to eat with the kids is Azul Latin Kitchen. They have fab margaritas and frozen vodka lemonade and their food is delish! Mmmm fish tacos! I am currently working on a Lake Tahoe Travel Guide and will list all our favorites there.

4. Can you please tell me how you grow your blog? You’re phenomenal!

I actually have a post I did which could be of great help to you! Check it out, here.

5. What is your favorite thing to cook?

Hmmm….I make a really good creamy pasta sauce. All the kids will eat it too which says a lot! I’m actually quite the griller as well. Since my husband works so much, I take charge on smoking a ton of meat on Sundays for his lunches all week. I smoke chicken wings, drumsticks, thighs, steak and my absolute favorite is a rack of lamb……SOOOOOO Good! Don’t forget to check my Food/Wine section for some awesome recipes!

6. Can you point me in the direction of the eyeliner you wear all the time?

There are a few brands I have used over the years, however, my favorite right now is Tarte Sex Kitten, here. Neutrogena also has a new precision eyeliner that works amazing and I also have used Lancôme liquid liner.

7. What TV shows are on your DVR?

Right now, Neil and I have been binge watching Outlander. It’s so good and totally makes you want to take a trip to Scotland ASAP. Neil has to get up pretty early during the week, so we don’t get to watch many shows or movies until the weekend. During the week, I will curl up on the couch after he’s asleep and watch my Bravo shows and write blogs (like I am doing now watching RHOBH). We also love Ozark, Homeland, Better Call Saul and Shameless. Downton Abbey was a huge favorite of mine and I basically will watch any type of British love story.

8.  I need new jeans. Help me!

Jeans can be tricky because there isn’t one pair fits all. I remember as a teen, I hated jean shopping because my legs were so long and skinny and everything looked like floods. I even wore leg warmers under my jeans to bulk up my legs because I was so self conscious! I know…crazy right?! As an adult, I have tried all sorts of brands but the pair I cling to most and ALWAYS pull out are my J.Brand Marias! I literally have them in 7-8 colors and they have lasted YEARS people! You can check them out, here. I also love J.Crew jeans because they are less expensive and have a TALL size. I do size down in most of their skinny jeans. I wear this pair often, here. These Madewell jeans are also fab and on sale.
