1 Year Blog Anniversary + Giveaway: Up Close and Personal

Recently, Fancier’s World completed its 1 year blog anniversary! And I just can’t miss sharing the excitement and gratitude with you all. With its bittersweet moments, this last year has been an amazing and gratifying journey all along. First of all let me thank all my readers, and all the brands which have contacted us for a collaboration. Your emails and comments mean a lot to us. And thanks to my dear friend Akshatha for helping us with the photo shoot for this post.

Last year was such a big learning experience for us and we hope to continue learning many new things as a part of the blogger community. Also we have lot of exciting things coming up on the blog. But I am not going to talk about this now, rather save it for a later blogpost. Today I want you to get up, close and personal with the team behind Fancier’s World!

Some of our close friends have been the early readers of the blog and they know a lot about us. For those of you who have recently started following us, I thought it will be a good time to introduce ourselves in a fresh new way. To know more about us and Fancier’s World’s background, do please take some time to read our About Us page. To learn more about our eccentricities and current musings, please continue reading. 🙂

Richa

• My current passion is – can I say blogging? I am always thinking about ideas to write about and post.
• My current wishlist is a Europe tour!
• Currently in the playlist – One Dance by Drake, Cheap Thrills by Sia, Can’t Stop the Feeling by JT and We Don’t Talk Anymore by Charlie Puth and Selena!
• I am a big movie buff. In fact, if I did not see a movie on its first weekend, I would not see it. And trust me I never missed the first weekend. But now spending 2-3 hrs for a movie is something that I cannot afford. Though I still don’t miss the sci-fi, superhero movies or a blockbuster.
• I have never used Netflix or any other streaming service. I love my live TV shows with ads (I am weird…).
• As much as I like the movies, I will not be the one watching “Conjuring” with you. I just can’t take horror. Call me chicken or anything.
• If you find me running, I am running for help! Don’t get me wrong, I love Usain Bolt, but I just don’t enjoy running. I would rather play Tennis or Badminton.
• I dislike any gym equipments. You will never see me on a treadmill or elliptical. I prefer floor exercises and weights.
• I am a screamer. You can hear it when I am on a ride. The whole hospital floor can hear it when I am getting an injection. Worst of all, the skiers know when I am coming down the slope screaming for my life.
• My eyes twinkle when I talk about food or travel. Love trying new food joints and cuisines and visiting new places.
• Baking is therapy for me. Nothing says home like the smell of baking!!
• I can never say no to a good dark chocolate or warm bread. I love my carbs!
• My comfort food is Dosa – an Indian rice and lentil crepe.
• Embarassing confession – I sleep in every party I go to. Don’t get me wrong, I think I am fun at the parties. But my energy just drains out at the end of the day and if the party runs late night, I just fall asleep. I mean I literally can sleep anywhere.
• Embarassing Confession 2 – One of my favorite and addictive pass time is to browse the catalogue of all the clothing stores. I probably know what you are wearing by looking at the outfit.
• Spontaneity breeds serendepity. I truly believe and follow that. Everyday is a different day – an ice cream day, a movie day, a dinner day, a lunch day, a hike day, a drive day. I make every day my day, but yes at times it clashes with Vinay’s plans which he is not so happy about.
• I hate planning. But it does not mean that I do not get things done on time, it is just that I don’t want to define any order and I think it makes me very flexible. If you need me now or want to party now, I am always there!

Vinay

• Hi! I am your typical ‘Instagram husband’ or the ‘Snapchat husband’.
• My current passion is farm-to-table gardening.
• My favorite summer time activity is hiking 14ers and backyard grilling.
• I am a proud member of “Voulnteers for Outdoors Colorado”.
• I just won President’s volunteer service medal for my work towards improving quality of life in Douglas County as an Adult Literacy tutor.
• I am currently obssessed with watching Punjabi (regional, north-Indian) movies.
• I want to complete a marathon sometime soon…
• I can never stop listening to “Can’t stop this feeling…’, it just makes me jump and bounce and beam and smile with good vibes 🙂
• My comfort food is fresh and flavorful seafood paired with freshly baked Red Lobster biscuits.
• I love coaching my friends for Volleyball in the summer and downhill skiing during beautiful Colorado winters.

Akira

• I am a 2.5 years old who is a total Daddy’s Girl.
• I love ice-cream, chocolate, pizza, gumball and candy!
• My favorite shows are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Sesame Street and Peppa Pig.
• I love to go to the parks or my neighbour’s yard for slides and swing time.
• Splashing in the water is my favorite summertime activity.
• My comfort food is milk. I need it before going to bed in the evening and before getting out of the bed in the morning.
• Give me my blanky and I will snuggle anytime, anywhere, anyhow.
• I am a total fashionista and love to model. I don’t like it when Papa takes Mumma’s picture unless I am in the frame.
• I know when mumma and papa are arguing and I have to shush them.
• I know that screaming and crying gets most of my work done, vey easily 😉
