1. She’s in a Band

There are many interesting facts about Zooey Deschanel. The first that I will address is that she’s in a band called She & Him. She & Him is an indie duo comprised of Zooey and Mathew Ward. Zooey is a singer, songwriter, and can play a multitude of instruments (like piano, guitar, and ukulele). I highly recommend this band. They have a fantastic Christmas album, entitled "A Very She & Him Christmas." To find out more information about She & Him, and to hear some of their songs, visit their official website at sheandhim.com.

Zooey isn’t afraid to change up her look. She was a red head in The Offspring’s "She’s Got Issues" music video. The music video is noted as being one of her first official acting credits. In "Elf," the 2003 Christmas film, Zooey is a blonde. You can check out her look in this popular Elf scene. Currently, she’s a brunette. What look do you like the best? I think she looks great with every hair colour!

HelloGiggles is a website directed towards women which provides information on crafts, beauty, relationships, and pop culture. What I love about this site is that the content is always positive, interesting, and informative. This site is so cute! Check it out here: hellogiggles.com.
