Ask Iva

Last Monday,Friends, I mentioned that Ask Iva would, moving forward, be a video blog. Well, I was not prepared for all the technical difficulties that would be present this weekend. The iMac decided to go on vacation, then I wanted to use the video camera, but of course, the battery is totally MIA. So, the computer is getting fixed, and what you will be viewing, is sadly done on a loaner which, itself also is barely hanging on a thread. But, I did promised today is the day, so of course I have to stay true to my word. I had to record this about 10 times because, either it would just stop recording 5 seconds in to it, OR, even more annoying, it would record but not record the sound. At one point I actually debated on just letting you watch without sound and enjoy my arm waving, but I thought it through,and decided that was a no go.

So, my apologies for this short, only two questioned answered session. I plan to answer each question separately, so you can just go to whichever one you want to see, but with all the frustrations, here is the only full length with sound clip:

I apologize, hopefully the computer gets fixed sooner then later, and I will be able to throw in a few more answers throughout the week.

Thank you, Friends! I am excited to read more of your questions. I hope you had a nice weekend.

44 Fabulous People:

  1. OMG OMG!!! "I hope you can move forward and still enjoy your ranch dressing!" I promise I WILL NOT put it on every single item at every single meal.

    omg dude. This is the best thing EVER. There are 3 of us watching that and we're dying laughing...well they're laughing at me, not you. Cuz you are so GORGEOUS and adorable and I love you to pieces.

  3. That was great! I thought the quality was fine, as well. You don't sound like I would have imagined. I've never meet any blogging friends in real life. I've often wondered what it would be like.

  29. Awwww you are so freakin gorgeous! I love seeing videos of bloggy friends. It helps make you more "real." I probably shouldn't tell you that I love ranch with pizza... as if one's not bad enough without the other!

  31. Great vlog! I think I'm one of the only people who probably drinks too much water. Seriously.

  32. ok this might be a long one.. FIRST.. i've totally been saying, or "thinking" your name wrong the whole time! i've been thinking "I"va not "E"va.. but it's wayyy prettier the way you really say it. so sorry for butchering your name in my head ;) ok, SECOND could you be any more beautiful??? no.. i dont think so. it's so neat to listen to you in "real life" i feel like i know you better. i'd look like a big goof speaking in front of my video camera :) and let's see.. THIRD, liz is adorable, i love her. ha but i didnt really listen too well to your speach i was too busy thinking how neat it was that you did a video.. ok back to listen again.

    annnd thank you for your sweet comment, gosh i can always count on you to brighten my day. thank you for that :)

  33. you are TOO cute! :) Thanks for answering my question!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Iva that was great! Congrats on the first live blog video :) I tend to use ranch on everything. Now what about salt? This i use not in portions...i know BAD. I can't help it!!! Putting it on my pizza,pasta,soup,garlic bread,etc. {You get the idea} Will i have a heart attack soon?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Uh....I always re-fridge my water! GULP. I hate to waste a bottle of water. You look so great by the way...I hate you. JUST KIDDING! Haha! Your hair is so beautiful! Will you please move to Vegas & become my personal trainer? Okay, thanks! Love ya!

  36. F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C.
    you are very nice and confortable in front of the camera. It seems you are used to do it and not that it's your first time!
    love the idea. Why don't you show us some excercise, you were an athlete? weren't you?
    GO IVA!!!!

  37. Hi
    very very fantastic blog
    congratulation.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Like a lot of people above, I had no idea you shouldn't drink the water after the bottle heats up! I wonder if it's the same for those re-usable water containers that runners use... probably not, otherwise they would warn you... right?

    Anyway, love your blog! Thanks so much for visiting mine! I'll definitely be back! :)

  39. great idea! Turned out really good. Video blogs are a good idea, because there's more connection.

    ReplyDelete
  40. hahahah i'm not even kidding i used to put ranch on everything!! i mean i wouldn't carry it around n my purse or anything but i put it on chinese food, pasta, pizza, wraps, chicken...ok i'll stop its grossing me out now.

    but i've cut back a lot! i barely even eat it with pasta anymore! sad that i think it's such an accomplishment.

  41. I think it's awesome that you encouraged people to NOT drink water after it's been sitting in a plastic bottle getting warm all day. Too many people forget that! I bought a Camelbak bottle last year for my water, and I love it! It is BPA Free and can resist the heat if I leave it in my car.

  42. you are absolutely gorgeous! and so good on camera, I'm impressed! I've tried to do this and I always mess up and have to do it over but still look stupid. I like the ranch dressing advice :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. you are so cute!
    i love this, its adorable.

  44. How did I miss this video the first time?? This is awesome! I loved seeing you on camera and hearing your name! All this time, in my head, it's been Eyeva, which I'm sure you get a lot. If so, I can relate in that correspondence and telemarketers always adress me as Mr. Jordan Lastname.
