1) What's the best idea you've gotten from the internet?
Less idea, more inspiration, from food blogs. I was first introduced to Pioneer Woman's blog long before she was famous by someone (no longer) on LJ. At that time, she had just started posting recipes with step-by-step photos. I never made that grilled steak salad that immediately grabbed my attention, but I also never forgot it. After a while, she made a separate section just for cooking, and then started linking other food blogs. I was hooked ever since.

2) What's the best advice you've heard from someone much older than you?
Not in these exact words, but basically just because someone says it about you doesn't mean it's true.

3) What advice would you give your younger self?
Love yourself as you are, no matter what you look like.

4) What advice have you received, but chose not to take?
My mom and sister have often given me unwanted advice. Mainly, get my teeth fixed.

5) Do you need advice on anything going on in your life these days?
Don't we all?

I remember that Pioneer Woman blog - before she had a magazine, did giveaways, was famis. I got the recipe Crash Hot Potatoes from her!

I remember that recipe too.

#3 isn't easy, though.
It takes long practice!

Yeah. I look at old pictures of myself and am sad about how poor I felt about my appearance at the time.
