Question 6: What life event made you decide to start your own business?
Having children. Don’t all
In all seriousness, I came up with the idea of Seek-a-Rita while I was pregnant. I craved Margaritas all the time, even at 9 AM, it was a little strange. But I thought it would be pretty cool to start some type of website or blog all about Margaritas.
Question 7: Tell us what your business is, what it does, etc.?
In a nutshell, I drink Margaritas all day!!! Ok maybe not all day, but sometimes I don’t wait until 5 O’clock…
My goal is to find the greatest Margarita, meanwhile I post Margarita recipes, I research and write about different types of tequila, I also have done a few restaurant reviews. Honestly, I am just having fun and love everything about Margaritas.
Question 8: Why do you love your brand?
Well, who doesn’t love drinking Margs? I also love bringing friends together for a few drinks and great
Question 9: What song or band are you obsessed with right now?
Super obsessed with “Don’t Stay” by X Ambassadors. I repeat it 3 or 4 times every time I listen to it.
Question 10: What show are you binge watching right now?
Right now it’s “Letterkenny” on Hulu. It’s a Canadian TV sitcom that’s flippin hilarious. I can’t get enough of the wordplay and puns – “Pitter patter, let’s skiddatter”.
Question 11: Pizza or Tacos?
Tacos til death do us part.
Question 12: Saturdays or Sundays?
Saturday 100%. Sundays are great for hangovers when you’ve had one too many Margaritas…
Question 13: Summer or winter?
SUMMER! The perfect season for Margarita sippin.
Question 14: Netflix or hulu?
I’m feeling the Hulu. We just switched from SlingTV to Hulu Live and I’m loving it so much more. Netflix is great, but I end up spending too much time watching the trailers and previews more than any actual show.
