FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONs
There are things that I get asked more often than others across my social media accounts. And in an attempt to be transparent I thought it would be a great idea to offer all the answers in one place!
how did you get started?
CandiiKismet started as small blog on Tumblr, like any other, about 3 years ago. Growing year after year, I decided it was time to move to something more permanent. Thus, our newest endeavor, CandiiKismet.com. I consider myself a “Tumblr Alumni”.
are you a professional model?
No, Currently I model for you guys! While professional modeling is something I am actively pursuing, I'm not currently signed with an agency or working with any other brands besides my own.
So I don't get paid for endorsing any brands. All my hauls are paid for by myself.
What do you like most about blogging?
I quickly took to blogging because of my love for literature. I found it so refreshing that I wasn't limited by character counts to express and idea. What I was able to develop was well-rounded ideas and share them with an eager audience. I love the ability to follow people based on interests and ideas and the capabilities are endless for how and what you share.
where are you located?
Quincy, FL, a small city right outside of Tallahassee.
Are you on a weight loss journey?
You’ve completely got the wrong blog, hun.
are you single?
Yes, yes I am. And to be honest, I'm so excited to share with you my misadventures in dating. I’m single and ready to… well, mingle? At least get together for a dinner? Anyone? Sheesh… tough crowd.
what’s your sign?
I am a Cancer with a Leo stellium. June 23rd to be exact.
What are your measurements?
As part of the “Non Hourglass Society” I'm actually shaped like an inverted triangle or banana, I think. I'm a size 20 typically. I stand 5’7”, 5’10” including my hair.
Bust: 49 Waist: 44 Hip: 52 Bra: 42DDD Shoe: 9.5/10
why an advice column
Well, my first job was being a big sister. It’s the most natural thing in the world to listen and be open to giving advice and support. I don't know everything, sure, but I have been around for a couple centuries, so I may know a thing or two.
But really I feel so connected to my followers. I want to make a positive impact in any way I can. I just feel that the internet can be a hard place to find kind and thoughtful advice. Just consider it my “Anti-Apathy Crusade”.
what does your name mean?
My name is a composite of my first name, Candii, and one of life’s most surprising and delicate promises. Kismet is a word that literally translates to “portion”. It’s the idea that each one of us has a proportioned amount of success, failure, magic and opportunity for our lives. Every mishap, redirection, surprise or coincidence is continuously leading us toward our destinies. But it is ultimately up to the individual to recognize, react, and capitalize on those moments coming our way. How beautiful is that?!
are you a real genie?
Uh, Yeah! I’ve been granting wishes for over a millennium. But don’t go getting any ideas! I don’t just grant wishes for anyone trying to rub my lamp. My ultimate goal is to help you grant your OWN wishes. Bla Bla teach a man to fish and all that!
myers-briggs?
ENFJ. Every time I’ve taken it. Hey, can anyone explain to me why “everytime” isn’t a compound word?!
Do you do in-person events?
YES! Traveling and Meet-Ups are a passion of mine! Have lamp, will travel! If you have something you would like to invite me to PLEASE DO!
