Did any of you ever see the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen movie, It Takes Two?
For the most part, I could not stand MK and Ashley Olsen movies. I mean, hello! All the plots were exactly the same: girls go to foreign country, girls meet cute boys with hot accents, girls save foreign country from peril, girls and cute boys with hot accents get together and live happily ever after.
Luckily, It Takes Two was different. Can’t say it was my favorite movie, but I have seen it quite a few times. One of the movie’s biggest intrigues for me was this concept it introduced: the possibility of identical strangers. For months, I kept an eye out for “the other Katie,” convinced she was around somewhere.
Well, on Saturday, I found my twin:
Yes, yes, I know we’re not really identical. But hey, neither are Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. I swear we did not plan to both wear jeans, pink shirts, and black vests. It was twin sense at work. Plus, we share a mutual love of Artisana coconut butter… but maybe that’s not twin sense; that’s just common sense!
She even brought me some Raw Carrot Cake Bites!
Seriously, sweetest girl ever! We met at Whole Foods, and we talked non-stop about everything from blogging to food to life in general. I almost missed meeting this amazing girl, though! It was pure luck (or maybe fate) that our paths crossed:
I emailed Kelsey, because she’d won one of my giveaways, and she replied, “Ya know, I’m actually going to Dallas in a few weeks, to visit friends. If you want to hold on to the bars til then, you could give them to me in person.” As someone who envies all Californians and New Yorkers, with your routine blogger meet ups, I jumped at the chance for a blogger meet-up of my own. Our meeting was so much fun (albeit way, way to short!). She is absolutely one of the sweetest girls one could ever hope to meet. (Oops, I already said that! Ah, but it’s worth repeating, because it is so true!) Oh, and the Raw Carrot Cake Bites she made me? They were even better than the ones I make!
Has anyone ever told you that you look like someone else?
Perhaps someone famous? And have you ever wanted to be a twin?
In middke school, paople thought a girl on m D.I. (destination imagination) team, looked a lot like me! We agreed that we DID have matching straight brown hair, and maybe a couple other features, but we are opposite in personalities. We were good friends, though. We both had pet rats and loved them!

Aw, you two girls are so pretty. Must be the healthy eating thing ;). What a fun sounding meet up!
I’ve been told I favor Michelle Trachtenberg. She was on Buffy the Vampire Slayer? And Gossip Girl too I think. But I don’t watch it!
LOL she’s EVIL on Gossip Girl! 😉
(Still pretty though!)
And I wanted to KILL her on Buffy. Ugh. Dawn was so damn annoying.
But yes, VERY pretty. Great skin/hair on that girl.
So true, Dawn had issues! I love Spikie!
ohmygod i was OBSESSED with the mary-kay and ashley movies!!!! they were my favorite, despite the predictable plots (and really, really awful acting. i recently rewatched passport to paris and DANG. awful!)
people have told me i look like kate winslet, which makes me heart happy. i have a massive girl crush on her :)! i’ve gotten grace kelly once, to which i thought was an odd comparison! and lindsey lohan. no thanks 😉
How funny! My bff and I used to accidentally dress identically alllll the time. We also watched EVERY Mary Kate and Ashley movie and played their video games. Middle school was the best.
I don’t think I look like anyone else =( Hopefully I can find my identical stranger someday!
Aw such a cute twin picture – sweet outfit !
I wanted to be a twin when I saw The Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan 🙂
I get told I look like Anne Hathaway on what feels like a weekly basis. And probably more so when I had bangs. I feel like I resemble her a bit, and have her coloring, but I don’t think I look THAT much like her!
Occasionally I will also get Jennifer Love Hewitt.
And Katie, I think you look like Emma Roberts, but prettier 🙂
Wow, Janna, you are so incredibly sweet!!
And p.s. I can TOTALLY see the Anne Hathaway thing! You’re both beautiful :).
Sounds like a great meet up! 🙂
I was just reading about your meet up in Kelsey’s blog! You two look like you had so much fun!!! If your ever in Tampa, Katie, give me a call 🙂
I’ve been told I look like a Maria Sharapova or Scarlett Johansson…hmm…don’t know if I do 😉
I see it, Alex! You really do look like her… but maybe it’s ’cause you’re tall (wait, are you tall?) and blonde and beautiful and you play tennis lol. I will definitely call you if I’m in Tampa… then we can eat all or crazy unsweet foods and play tennis. But you’d probably kick my butt, since I haven’t played in like a year! 😕
Not as tall as her!!! I’m 5’7″, and she is like 6’2″!!! She is crazy tall! My dad ran into her once in a New York City Starbucks, and got her autograph for me, and he said that she was sooo tall!
But thanks, Katie, you are too sweet! We would have so much fun!
Oh, and I would LOVE to make your recipes for my Friends by Recipe Post!!! I would love all of them 🙂 I don’t think there is a single recipe I wouldn’t like!
Do you remember the Pepsi girl form the commercials? Adorable little girl with curly brown hair…
I looked exactly like her. When I was a kid, people would stop me in the grocery store and ask for an autograph. 🙂
Awww seriously?!? I do remember her. She was adorable! I think she was in the movie, Paulie, too, which is such an adorable movie. (Or at least, that was someone who looked like her.)
I’ve gotten Janeane Garofalo more than a few times.
I think it’s mostly due to having a sarcastic, self-depreciating sense of humor, honestly.
Though we do have a similar face sharp and wide noses plus similar coloring…
Yeah, I can see it.
