About Us

Why the name ‘Two Thousand Miles’?

This is a blog run by four friends from different parts of the US. Bridget lives two thousand miles away from Mercy, Hannah, and Brooke.

Bridget:

Hello! My name is Bridget Rose Ruffing, a Colorado girl living in Maine who loves that her middle name is shared with her mother and a flower. I also love spending my time knitting, spinning, reading (of course!), writing, journaling, crafting, drinking tea and learning more about my amazing Catholic Faith. I was diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago, along with other health issues, but they just spur me on to do the best I can to overcome the difficulties they throw in my way. I love, love, love reading classic novels, especially Jane Austen. I rejoice in elegantly fashioned sentences filled with big words, some you almost never hear in this day and age. I love the smell of old books and letters, with yellowing pages and well-loved covers. I’m also a bit of a political junkie (as my grandma puts it), as I and my whole family are proud conservatives. I have a love of fashion and a dislike of stereotypes. I would love to change the public image of teenage girls. Not all of us sit around reading gossip magazines, wearing too much makeup and too-tight jeans, worrying about getting a boyfriend. But, I digress. I’m basically a girl with a lot of books to keep me company, and a vision of changing the world.

Mercy: 

I am a Christian, a writer, an aspiring actress, and a fashion and beauty blogger. I am currently writing a fantasy book that I hope to publish soon. I also have many more books that have not been started yet. I am an Anglophile, a watcher of Doctor Who, a watcher of Sherlock, a Brit at heart, a Bibliophile, green eyed, brown haired, glasses wearing, fashion savvy, homeschooled… young woman.

Hannah:

Hello! I’m Hannah, just your typical bibliophilic, Christian, Homeschooled teenager who’s trying her hand at fashion blogging.  I love to draw, paint, read (obviously; see: “bibliophilic”), and criticize the movie adaptations of books (with the exception of The Lord of the Rings trilogy; that was pretty fantastic.)

I’m a dedicated fangirl  who enjoys watching Doctor Who, Frozen, Sherlock, Frozen, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Frozen, Once Upon a Time, (and I know it’s not a TV show, but I also love Frozen!)

I mainly enjoy reading Children’s/YA Fantasy, but I try to read the “Popular” books so I know what everyone’s talking about, and I’m always up for a good mystery ;) If you’re interested, you can always check out my Goodreads Profile here, and if you want to see some of my drawings, my Instagram page is over here. Thanks for checking out our Blog!

Hello, wonderful reader! My name is Brooke, and I’m just a regular girl who’s giving nail blogging a go for the (sort of) first time.

I love to read, and some of my favorite authors are Jane Austen, J.K. Rowling, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Louisa May Alcott.

I also love to fangirl, my favorite social media platform for that is Pinterest, and some of my favorite things to fangirl about are BBC Sherlock, Doctor Who, Harry Potter (the books), Frozen, and the Avengers.

I love doing my nails as well, some of my favorite blogs to get inspiration from are The Nailasaurus, Wacky Laki, Nailside, and Sassy Shelly. By the way, if you want to check out more of my nail art, my Instagram is right here!

Unlike the other lovely ladies that contribute to this blog, I am not a great writer, nor do I aspire to be so. Please be forgiving as I navigate the muddy waters of blogging. Thank you!
