1. What’s your favorite candle scent?
I actually really hate scented candles. They're abominable most of the time. There's one company that makes ones that are okay, but still not awesome. My favourite heated fragrance, if you will, is a tinfoil vessel containing a teaspoon of vanilla extract, resting over the vent of a hot oven. It makes the whole house smell seriously yummy.
2. What female celebrity do you wish was your sister?
I'm not sure. I'm not very well versed with celebrities and my own sisters are such incredible people that I doubt very much anyone else out there could match them in terms of being good choices for sisters for me.
3. What male celebrity do you wish was your brother?
I think the same goes here. The brothers who have married into my family are such incredible people that no celebrity could hope to match them.
