10 Facts About Me

I've wanted to venture into more personal/lifestyle type posts but I could never decide how I wanted to start.  Since I have haven't really mentioned too much about myself, I thought a 10 facts post would be a good way share with you a little bit about me.

I’m left handed

South paw represent! Growing up I didn’t like being a lefty.  The art teacher always made me use the junky lefty scissors while all my friends used the nice regular scissors.  I always bumped elbows with the person sitting to my left.  The list goes on.  Now that I’m older I have embraced it and find it is a good conversation starter.

 I’m obsessed with symbolism

While I’m not currently as avid of a reader as I would like to be, I have always had a love for literature.  In school reports I rocked this part of literature analysis.  Also, I love finding symbols in everyday life.  Maybe that’s weird. Meh..

I was born on Easter

When I was a kid I thought it was the coolest thing ever to be born on a holiday.  I would make a point to tell everyone about it.   I guess not much has changed...

My first job was at Victoria’s Secret

I tried so hard to get a job in high school but between my parents resistance and lack of job experience, it just didn’t happen.  It wasn’t until college that I managed to get my first job at a Victoria’s Secret in my local mall.  In theory it seemed like the coolest job ever and I remember squealing with my friend after realizing I got the job.   The reality however was a different story. 

My favorite color is green

Shameful fact: I own way too many green colored clothing items.  It’s gotten so noticeable that even my boyfriends brother jokes about it. 

I love tea

Another shameful fact: I have a huge tea collection.  Some of my favorites are Earl Grey, English Breakfast, and of course Green tea. 

I love the smell of Bergamot. 

If no one is watching I sniff my earl grey packets just so I can get a whiff of that wonderful aroma.

When I was little I wanted to be a singer. 

Like probably every other kid in the 90’s I was obsessed with Disney soundtracks and had a pretty nice collection on cassette that I would sing along too.  The sole “adult” cassette I had in my collection Patsy Cline’s Crazy.  Oh the hours on end I would sing along to that cassette (ie: torture my parents ears).  Unfortunately my talent has never matched my desire to sing so I spare the ears of those around me.

I’m a night owl

I honestly don’t see how people can really be morning people.  While the promise of the start of a brand new day is inspiring, it’s not enough to get me out of bed until I’ve hit snooze at least five times.  Hopefully one day I will join the happy morning people club but for now I spend my weekends watching Youtube videos until 2am.

I didn’t start wearing makeup regularly until college.

I grew up with pretty strict parents (ie: a dad who was mortified that I was growing up seemingly overnight) who wouldn’t let me wear any makeup until I was probably about a senior in high school.  When I got into college I tried to get into makeup but I felt so overwhelmed by the selection and how to use all these products.  It wasn’t until my job at Victoria’s Secret that I finally figured out how to correctly apply makeup and what colors suiting my skin tone.  From then on my obsession with beauty began and it’s still going strong today.
