HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME :) + 28 Facts About Me

Hey Guys!!

I have officially made 28 trips around the sun! Whoop Whoop! πŸ™‚ In celebration of my birthday, I am sharing 28 facts about me!

#1 I was born on a Friday! πŸ™‚ Fun Fact: Sage was also born on a Friday

#2 I loveeee reality TV and always have. My current faves are pretty much all of the real housewives shows.

#3 In HS I took latin instead of Spanish or French. My mom and grandma were not pleased by this at all. They even tried to talk me out of it but me being me, I took it any way and I got a 99 in the class. πŸ™‚

#4 The number 4 is my fave number for obvious reasons

#5 I have lived in NC for the majority of my life and I am readyyy for a change. I just don’t feel like NC is my “forever place” and I never have.

#6 Before having Sage I was not a regular coffee drinker and I never made up my bed but now I HAVE to do both in order to function. I’m sure my mom is rolling here eyes at this one because I would NEVER make my bed or clean my room as a kid….just wasn’t my thing.

#7 I used to hate the color pink growing up and now I am OBSESSED!

#8 I have to sleep with the TV on full blast or I cannot sleep.

#9 My dream vacation is to spend a few days on a yacht in the French Riviera with my family.

#10 When I get really really nervous, I blurt out super random and sometimes awkward things. It is actually pretty bad and super embarrassing. As a kid my mom would have a pep talk with me before I was around new people or in new situations so I wouldn’t get nervous. TBH, that didn’t ever really work and it still happens to this day. I really can’t help it. If I get really really really nervous, I start doing this really awkward laugh and I can’t stop.

#11 Growing up I was super outgoing but as I have gotten older, I have become more of an ambivert.

#12 One thing I miss most about “normal” life is going to church every Sunday.

#13 Complexion products are my favorite type of new beauty products to try.

#14 Lip products would be my second favorite type of beauty products to try.

#15 If I had to do it all over again, I probably wouldn’t have studied biology in college. It was just so hard and I wish I would have done something a little but more fun. I would study fashion instead.

#16 My favorite comfort food is all food. I loveeee to eat and I always have.

#17 When I was pregnant, I UGLY cried once because my pizza wasn’t cooked crispy enough.

#18 For YEARS I only drank water. There’s a sort of long story behind this one.

#19 An accomplishment I’m particularly proud of is the woman I have become after having Sage. I have never been as confident and as focused as I am now.

#20 In college (I think my Jr year) I had a goldfish named Fonsworth. The school I went to was giving them out (and all of the supplies) for free so I got one.

#21 My dream job would be to be on the Real Housewives of whatever city I am living in. I know everyone has mixed feelings on reality tv but I think it would be so fun! I practice my tag lines just in case they call me.

#22 I HATE cooking. I will eat a bowl of cereal before I take out a pan to cook something. I really tried to get in to cooking…hence the two or three recipes on here…it was cool at the time but it just wasn’t me.

#23 Peonies are my FAVORITE flower. Once we can, I plan on going to the peony gardens in Oregon when they bloom. Peonies bloom around May/June.

#24 I don’t have one go-to Starbucks order, I have more of a rotation and I order any of these drinks at any time of year. They are: white chocolate peppermint mocha, iced black tea with vanilla, sweetener, and milk, and iced coffee with vanilla, sweetener, and half and half.

#25 I have a LONG list of food allergies. I won’t bore y’all with the of the items that I am allergic to. The big ones are almonds , bananas, and shellfish (mollusks and crustaceans).

#26 My favorite thing to do in my spare time is to watch story time videos on YouTube. My favorite person to watch rn is JimiP.

#27 My favorite place to travel to is Miami. We usually go every Thanksgiving. We went last year but it was not enjoyable for me because I was so sick the whole time.

#28 I am really hoping D gets me and Sage a dog soon! (lol….this is me shooting my shot πŸ™‚ )
