Jay’s Questions

1. What hour are you most alert during the day or night? Generally during the evening/night

5. What country has the happiest people? I would say Denmark/Scandinavia because there is a good balance between work and family/life and parents do not have to worry about paying for their kids college and no one has to worry about going into debt from medical bills. Also the concept of hygge makes people happy here

11. What personality trait are you currently trying to change or improve? Not having a quick temper

Lise’s Questions

Lise and Rei’s Questions

2. You’re stranded on an island and can only bring one item, one person and one food item. What and who do you bring, and why? I would bring a knife because it is multipurpose, my boyfriend because he was in the military so he probably has a lot more survival skills than me, and canned beans because I am vegetarian so I do not know what food I would be able to find and I can open the cans with a knife and I would not have to cook them
3. You have the chance to go back in time to change one major world event. What would you change? I would probably stop the Holocaust from happening
4. Why did you start blogging? Do you feel different about it now? I started blogging because my friend had a blog on tumblr and I thought it would be fun to join her. I do not feel different about blogging, but sometimes I get overwhelmed because I do not know what to blog about
5. What is the meaning behind your blog name? I knew I wanted to blog about beauty and books so I combined Belle, which means beautiful in French and Belle is also my favorite Disney character (from Beauty and the Beast), with Tales for books
