Sharleen Joynt & Andy Levine - Bachelor 18 - Discussion

@notarose Agree with you. Sharleen's outer beauty is enhanced by her warm and loving spirit. One in a million when you add all her talent to her other qualities!

I've been wondering if they're planning on kids at some point. They'd have beautiful babies.

She is so flippin gorgeous. Great pics on her website. She looks fabulous in anything she wears.

YES! Yes! Yes, GA! She does!

I love that suit. I'm a fan of mustard, and probably have too much of that colour, but the yellow makes me feel like spring is in the air! Hurry up spring! (Currently 22F/-6C)

I noticed "PHOTOGRAPHY: ANDREA JOYNT" at the bottom of the website page. Would that be her sister?

Recently I’ve found myself getting in a rut of mindlessly scrolling and letting Instagram get to me. I’m not a particularly competitive or covetous person, yet it’s hard not to compare your life to the polished, photogenic feeds of others and see the grass as greener. To feel like you’re not doing enough, or worse, that YOU aren’t enough. For anyone else feeling the same way: Social media is great, yes. I’d be lying if I said I’m not happy to get all my friends’ updates in one place, that I’m not inspired by the creativity and talent out there, or that I don’t benefit from the business it has become. But truth be told, I’m legitimately happier when I put my phone down and let a day or two go by #gramfree. It might be worse for “business”, but it’s better for my sanity.

Just a reminder for anyone who can relate: my own polished, photogenic feed only captures a slim slice of my life and I spend a lot of time—too much time—feeling like it’s not pretty/consistent/interesting enough. But at the end of the day, WE have control over how much we let these apps affect us. And exercising that control involves nothing more than a few taps... #disconnecttoreconnect

As usual, Sharleen posts a very powerful message.

I'm thankful for me, I'm not addicted to my phone or SM opinions. I don't even read the news headlines as much as I used to and I hardly watch the news anymore unless there's been a natural disaster. I bet it's so much worse for these former contestants that are thrown into the world of SM where their income depends on it and they are somewhat forced to constantly actively participate.

I feel it's better for my sanity too.

Almost sounds like Sharleen needs to take a break from everything and chill out for a while. JMHO.

sharleenjoynt Keep scrolling if you can’t handle gushiness right now... you’ve been warned...
Today marks exactly 5 years since @machinelevine and I met. I know couples traditionally celebrate their marriage anniversary, but we take celebrating the day we met way more seriously. It was a far more momentous day to us, a day where the slightest change in events would have altered what our futures would look like. It was incredibly unlikely for us to meet and we have our instincts to thank for bringing us together despite all odds. Your gut will never lead you astray. Happy Meeting anniversary, Andy.

Gorgeous couple! Happy Meeting Anniversary Sharleen and Andy!

Did she ever say how they met? I don't recall.

@GuardianAngel http://www.alltheprettypandas.com/blog/2016/8/30/express This mentions the chemistry they felt immediately. I thought the story of their meeting was on her blog but it's not there now. They were at a party - as I recall Sharlene didn't really want to go and Andy had some equal reluctance. Voila - somehow they met and the rest is history. (And if this story is not quite right - please forgive me).
