This year has been very busy. I compartmentalize my life into three sections: Work/Personal/Hannah Work life is pretty self-explanatory. Personal is essentially HIS life, his relationships, his responsibilities, his hobbies... and of course Hannah's part is trying to stay relevant on social media, Help Me Hannah! videos, and the MN T-Girls. Sometimes one portion takes … Continue reading Busy Bee
Oh hi! The world of video blogging is strange and new to me. There's a lot to learn. I need to learn how to be on camera, I need to come to peace with, well, how I look on camera, being mindful of body language, movement, and a million other things.

"Under the Pink is a place. It's an internal place. It's the inner world, the inner life." -Tori Amos Things are usually different on a surface level than what they are actually really about.

Last weekend Shannonlee and I filmed the next videos for En Femme's Help Me Hannah series. Each video was more or less about my fave topic: clothes. So, each video required outfit changes that went with whatever I was rambling on and on about. I tend to exaggerate but if I did my math correctly … Continue reading So. Many. Wardrobe. Changes
I don't want anyone to think I am a professional model. And I don't want anyone to think that I myself think that I am a professional model. I'm not and I don't. Annnd I don't want to be. Well, maybe I do... but only when I am stuck in a meeting or staring at … Continue reading Fridays and Feminine Flaws
How many times on this website have I written the words "life is about_______". Life is about a LOT of things so I suppose it's not surprising that I use (and overuse) this phrase a lot. Anyway, part of being ALIVE is knowing that you'll probably be humbled at different points of your life in … Continue reading Hello, I’m Hannah McKnight
"Do something each day that scares you". Or something. I think that's the maxim. It might be an actual quote that is attributed to someone or just something someone said and the person we can attribute it to has been lost to time. Anyway. I have been thinking about doing videos for a while. What … Continue reading Live from Minneapolis, it’s Hannah McKnight
Someone told me that a need is a really strong want. And I think that is mostly true. But I didn't want this dress. I needed it. We all know the feeling of seeing a dress and thinking that it NEEDS to be in your closet even if you have no idea when you'll wear … Continue reading A Need…
