The very talented blogger Mary Keller from MK Graces was kind enough to answer some questions for all of you. You can find her website by clicking here. It is currently under construction, but she does has some amazing free worksheets to complete when you sign up! It’s free and amazing. Lemme tell ya. Her one worksheet is to complete your own Manifesto. I would definitely recommend signing up. So read below for her answers!


Describe your website in 10 words or less.
living better. tips, tricks & much more.

What do you do when you’re not blogging?
i cherish the time i spend with friends and family sitting around a dinner table with delicious food, flowing wine, and lively conversation.

How long have you been blogging?
i’ve blogged sporadically for about three years. after i left the corporate world, i really wasn’t sure what i wanted to do next. mk graces was an outlet for me as i explored many different areas, and now it is my business!

What do you find most satisfying about blogging?
the learning. sharing. flexibility. ownership. creativity

What are some of your favorite beauty products?
i prefer to not leave home without a little eyeliner (bobbi brown’s long-wear cream shadow in black pearl, applied with a brush) and a coat of lancome’s difinicils mascara. i adore trish mcevoy’s correct and brighten pen, nars’ pressed powder, and you can always find a tube of c.o. bigelow’s mentha lip tint in my purse.

What is your night time beauty routine like?
i simply use a washcloth and warm water to wash my face, followed by avalon organics’ vitamin renewal face cream. i try to remember to take my vitamins. and of course, i brush and floss too. that’s really it!

Coffee or tea?
espresso for gearing up and mint tea for winding down.

If you could travel anywhere in the entire world, where would you go and why?

ireland seems so magical to me. i’d love to have a beer in a dublin pub, kiss the blarney stone, sleep in a castle, and get a round of golf in!
What are your guilty pleasures?
without a doubt: reality tv. i love how the shows are both mindless and an anthropological exhibition at the same time.

Did you go to college? If so, what was your major?
i did! i have an undergraduate business degree, with a major in real estate and construction management, and an mba with dual emphases in entrepreneurship and brand strategy. all from the university of denver.
