Considering today is my birthday (woohoo), I figured you guys could get to know me a little better. So without further ado, if you really knew me you’d know that…
+ Today I am 26 years old, and I don’t want to get any older!
+ I was born in Nashville and lived there until I was about 8 years old.
+ I have a sick obsession with Talenti ice cream.
+ I don’t eat gluten. Not because it’s trendy, because I can’t.
+ I love all things Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor Pad.
+ I work for Julep Nail Polish & own over 100 colors of polish.
+ I had such curly hair as a kid everyone thought I looked like Shirley Temple… check it out below.
( Man I was a cute kid )
+ I have always dealt with pesky under eye circles since I was just a kid (see above). Any suggestions welcome!
+ My first job was at a doughnut shop when I was 15. I have worked ever since.
+ I live with 2 of my best friends in the most beautiful city, Cardiff by the Sea.
+ My favorite flower is a black orchid.
+ I am always wearing nail polish and can’t stand chips in my mani.
+ My first car was a 1986 Volvo and I was so embarrassed by it when I was young. I now drive a Volvo s40, but wish I had the old one as well- it was a true classic!
+ I 100% have Bieber fever.
+ I am on a constant quest for longer hair.
+ I have awful taste in television for the most part.
+ I am addicted to my electronics (not sorry)!
+ I don’t drink coffee or soda, with the exception of ginger ale & cream soda (once in a blue moon).
+ I have 3 dogs. 1 Yorkshire Terrier named Bitzy and 2 Old English Sheepdogs named Buster & Puck.
+ I inherited my love for shoes from my mom. She is obsessed.
+ I have been to Europe 4 separate times in my life, and I absolutely adore it! I dream of moving to Amsterdam…
( I thought at the time my look was very “Euro-chic”. LOL )
+ My family was involved with the creation of the Dove Bar. YUM!!!
+ I can’t fall asleep without the T.V. It’s a bad habit I am trying to break.
+ I love classic rock & country music.
+ I don’t like wearing clothes right when I buy them. I usually have to wait a week.
+ I can’t drink hard alcohol, it makes me gag.
+ I sleep with the same stuffed animal that I’ve had since I was 6. It’s a monkey named keno.
+ My Yorkie is my number 1 best friend. I’ve looked into cloning her.
( My little sewing assistant bringing me white thread )
+ I prefer shopping at a thrift store than at a fancy boutique, and not because it’s cheaper. I like the hunt.
+ I am a bit of a total hypochondriac.
+ Ever since I was about 5 years old I was in love with Elvis Presley. I know have a fish named after him.
+ I graduated from Cal State University Long Beach with a major in fashion merchandising & a minor in textile development.
+ I hate when restaurants have huge menus, I suck at making choices and always order the wrong thing.
+ I am obsessed with reading.
+ I am allergic to exercise, since no one believes me you can read about the allergy here.
( I am staying on the dark side forever!! Blonde is not my best look.)
+ I’ve had my hair blonde, but look much better as a brunette!
+ Sleeping in is my favorite past-time, so it’s a good thing I work from home!
+ I am the godmother to the most beautiful boy in the world, Ford Everett.
+ I’d rather curl up at home with a movie than go out.
+ I love my Harley Davidson Vintage tee’s, my favorite things to wear.
+ I do a crossword on my iPad before I go to bed, and usually won’t go to sleep until I finish it.
+ Holding a monkey is on my bucket list (see below my first encounter with a monkey)!
Enough about me, if I really knew you- what would I know? I’d love to learn a little bit more about all of you!
Thanks for reading my blog and supporting Fashionlush, I love you all! Now I gotta go because it’s time for a birthday beverage to get this party starttted. Ciao lovies.
( My closest encounter with a monkey… for now! )
