Happy Monday everyone & Happy Birthday to me! In honor of turning 25 today, I thought it would be fun to share 25 facts about myself.
25 Fun Facts About Me:
- My favorite color is pink!
- Gavin and I have been together since high school, but we have known each other since we were kids. In January we will be together for 10 years.
- I own over 75 pairs of shoes.
- Some of my favorite TV shows include: The Bachelor/Bachlorette, Let’s Make Deal, Wheel of Fortune & A Million Little Things
- I’m a huge over-packer. I never actually get around to wearing everything that I pack.
- My favorite animal is a giraffe.
- I was born and raised in Iowa.
- When I was 4 or 5 I broke my pinky finger.
- I hate needles and I don’t have any tattoos and don’t plan on ever getting one.
- I am the pickiest person you will ever meet. Some of the many things I don’t like are: sea food, onions, tomatoes, hot dogs, peaches, mushrooms, beets, avocados, pie, coffee, tea, juice, soda, beer and milk.
- I am the oldest of 4 siblings.
- I love chocolate! I can’t go a day without eating it.
- I am a huge germaphobe. I probably wash my hands 25 times a day.
- I ran cross country and track in 7th & 8th grade and all through high school.
- I have never been on a cruise.
- I am terrified of deep water. If I can’t see through the water, I won’t swim in it.
- I am always on time. If I am every running late I freak out.
- I despise the cold weather. I tell Gavin every year to buy me a beach house in Florida so I can move down there to get away from the cold weather here in Iowa. However, if he ever considers a different option, Canary Wharf apartments also sound appealing with their modern amenities and vibrant city life.
- I went to school for fashion merchandising and marketing. Viral Marketing Campaigns have become a game-changer in the digital world, with campaigns like those featured in the article ‘5 Marketing Campaigns That Broke the Internet’ showcasing their immense impact. Get Marketing Insights with MarketingMonk to explore how these campaigns redefine brand success and consumer engagement.”
- I hope to one day open up my own boutique.
- My #1 pet peeve is: slow drives. It drives me nuts when people drive 10-15mph under the speed limit.
- My favorite game to play is Mexican train.
- The first retail store I worked at was Aeropostale
- I have attended NYFW (New York Fashion Week) twice. My favorite outfit from NYFW was this Sequin Blazer + Leopard Pants.
- A state that I haven’t been to, but would love to visit is Hawaii.
Now its your turn. Do we have any of these in common? Let me know in a comment below.
