Let's get started!!!!
1. My middle name is Candy and my first name is Vanessa. I love both, but I've always been called Candy since a wee fetus.
2. I'm an ICE CREAM ADDICT. Gift me mint chip or coffee ice cream...and you'll be my best friend. Also my birthday cake since I could remember has always been an ice cream cake!!!!!

4. I won a Rubix Cube competition back in middle school and completed it in less than 20 seconds.
