L I F E S T Y L E:
HOW CAN I TELL YOU AND YOUR SISTER APART?
One of us has a mole on our right cheek (Alexis). Growing up, one of us was taller. Alexis also has a longer face, and we have been told we have different voices, noses, and eye shape.
DO YOU AND YOUR TWIN LIVE SEPARATELY OR TOGETHER?
We live together right now, and we always say it will be like a divorce when we move out, haha.=
C E L E R Y J U I C E / H E A L T H :
WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION/OUT TO EAT, HOW DO YOU ASK THE SERVER TO COOK YOUR VEGGIES AND FOOD?
We usually ask if they can be steamed, or lightly cooked with olive oil- no butter.
CELERY JUICE? WHY? WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS AND WHAT JUICER DO YOU USE?
There are SO many benefits! You can read more about it in this post and this last FAQ post. We use this juicer!
HOW DO YOU MAKE/COOK YOUR CAULIFLOWER RICE?
Super easy! We honestly just buy the frozen cauliflower rice bags and then dump them in a pan and sauté with a lid over it! We will add spices like garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper, too! Or you could add coconut aminos or hot sauce!
COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR YOUR WORKOUTS?
We actually have a youtube channel and will share workouts on our stories under the “workouts” story highlights sometimes!
WHAT ARE YOUR TRICKS TO STAYING SO MOTIVATED WITH HEALTH AND FITNESS?!
We honestly think it has to do with lifestyle and habit. It takes a LONG time to get used to living a healthier lifestyle, and we always say, you can’t go from 0 to 100 overnight. Making small changes over time is the best thing you can do! We started off eating this way for health reasons, but we didn’t do all of this overnight. We have been eating this way for 7 years, so it is a lifestyle, and one we enjoy now. We would say doing little things like eating more vegetables or adding more fruit in are good places to start. Also, swapping soda or sugary coffee for infused or sparkling water is a good one, too!
B E A U T Y:
FAVORITE FOUNDATION?
.Our favorite foundation is a tie between Bare Minerals, Laura Mercier, and the Beauty Counter Tint Skin.
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE MAKEUP ARTIST?
We LOVE the way Andrezza Minotto does our makeup! She is amazing and will come to you!
DO YOU TAKE ANY VITAMINS TO HELP WITH HAIR?
We don’t take any specific for hair, but we do take a thyroid supplement, a liver supplement, Magnesium, Vitamin C, B12, and Zinc. We also eat a TON of fruits and vegetables and drink lots of water.
GETTING LASH EXTENSIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WEEK. ANY TIPS?
We are obsessed with lashes and can’t live without them! Prepare to be addicted, haha. We would recommend not wearing a lot of eye makeup, just because it will get your lashes dirty, and make taking it off a lot more difficult around your lashes. We also would not recommend using anything oil-based as this can take off the lash adhesive. We also try not to rub our eyes a lot or play with our lashes and also keep them brushed with a little mascara wand!
DID YOU GET HAIR EXTENSIONS? HOW ARE THEY AND ARE THEY EASY TO MAINTAIN?
Yes! We just did a blog post on it last week, so read alllll about them here!
HOW DID YOU GROW YOUR HAIR LONG?
We both have hair extensions, but eating a lot of fruits and veggies helps a lot!
B L O G G I N G:
BECOMING A BLOGGER: WHERE TO BEGIN, TIPS, CHALLENGES, HOW TO MAKE STEADY INCOME?
It can be so overwhelming, and we have talked about it a lot in our podcasts, blog posts, etc. You can read more about in this last FAQ. We always say don’t go into it for the money because that is not something that is going to keep you in it. You have to be passionate about it, or you’ll hate your life. Yes, it can make money, but it is tough, and you have to be extremely driven. A lot of the girls that we know in this industry are extremely hard working.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN MODELING?
We are not actually models, but that is very sweet! 🙂
F A S H I O N:
DO YOU BUY PETITE SIZE CLOTHING FOR LENGTH? I AM 5’2″ AND HAVE A HARD TIME WITH PANT LENGTHS.
Yes, we almost always buy the “short’ or “petite” lengths! We know the struggle is real! Stores like Abercrombie, Express, and Loft all offer those!
PS-if your question wasn’t answered this week, be sure and check back next week for more! Xo
Anyways, we actually majored in Management Information Systems from The University of Texas at Austin (hook ’em!) and both took a job in Dallas about three years ago at Ernst & Young (a Big 4 Accounting firm). I was working in IT Auditing, and Sam was working in Fraud Investigation. After a year of working there, we both decided that although it was a great job, we wanted something more, and didn’t feel fulfilled. So, we took a big leap of faith at just 23 to leave our job. We had some plans of what we wanted to do, but I will say that what we started doing at that time is definitely not what we are doing now. 
We started blogging and sharing more of our outfits on our Instagram pages. I will say in the beginning it was not easy considering we were posting just fitness and food for the most part. It was basically like starting from scratch with Instagram because the people following me didn’t necessarily want to see all the clothes I was posting, if that makes sense? There were many days where my feelings were hurt, and I just felt like why am I bothering posting this stuff if nobody cares, but I told myself it is my own page, and I should be able to post whatever I feel like. 
You all probably wonder how we make money and support ourselves with a blog like this. We try to be as open with you all as possible, so we are happy to share this kind of stuff with y’all. We use affiliate links, will work with brands for sponsored content, etc. We are extremely careful when it comes to sponsored posts and the brand fitting well with our personal brand. This is how we support ourselves and pay our bills, so although it is tempting to take on a campaign with a brand for a large amount of money, we sometimes will decline those opportunities if it doesn’t mesh well with our blog and brand.
