30 Things You Might Not Know About Me

Well, the day is almost here… I’m turning 30 next Monday, January 13th. I don’t share much of my personal life on social media and mainly focus on fashion, lifestyle, and things I’m doing on the go so I wanted to get a little personal and share 30 things about you might not know about me!

1.     I met my husband at a wedding during the song Cupid Shuffle. (yes it really does happen)

2.     Pink is my favorite color. If cheetah print were a color I’d say it ties with pink. 

3.     I am a Cooper Clinic Certified Personal Trainer although I am not licenses anymore since I didn’t want to keep paying the renewal fees.  However, I did train faculty and students at Baylor University’s Sports and Fitness Center when I was a senior in college. 

4.     I have to have something warm in the mornings to drink and love the smell of coffee!

5.     I try to workout everyday whether that be pilates, kickboxing, spin, or weights. I love running but have had to tone that back due to tendonitis.

6.     I’m one of the few people who doesn’t like the TV show The Office.  I don’t get dry humor.

7.     I accepted Jesus Christ into my life when I was 8 years old and Chuck Norris happened to be at my church the day I got baptized so I felt pretty cool for an 8 year old. 

8.     My favorite place in the world is the beach. Any beach. Building sand castles and finding sea shells is the best. (growing up every summer we drove to South Padre Island) 

9.     While I’m very outgoing I don’t mind being alone. 

10.  I have a B.S in Health Science Studies and a minor in business from Baylor University. I studied to be a physical therapist, but I love teaching high school biology. 

11.  In high school I played volleyball, basketball, cheered, and was the Treasurer on Student Council. 

12.  I’ve run 2 half-marathons. (would have been three but one got canceled because of icemageddon as we called it in Dallas) 

13.  I’m a messy, but organized person if that’s a thing. There is a method to my madness.

14.  I’m a morning person, but I move slow and really enjoy my time to embrace the day.  

15.  I have never been a good sleeper.  I’m constantly sleep deprived. 

16.  Recently discovered I have dermographism also known as “writing on the skin”.  It’s a benign condition that when flairs up, the smallest pressure on my skin causes hives. (I could write a work using my fingers on my skin)

17.  I’m one of the fastest walkers you will ever see. I like to say I walk with purpose. 

18.  I love coffee shops. I used to study at them in college. 

19.  Fall scented candles are my favorite and I burn a candle every day when I get home.

20.  I love desserts and like sugary over chocolate treats. Give me all the watermelon sour patch. 

21.  I say “like” a lot.  I used to say it more when I was younger, but I’ve worked on it over the years. 

22.  I don’t watch much TV, but love movies. I am a big movie buff.  When I was little we would go to Blockbuster every weekend and my brother and I each got to pick out movies.  

23.  I only like ice cream is if has chunks in it like Blue Bell’s Two-Step, Chocolate chip cookie dough, or Brides Cake to name a few. I wish they would get Red Velvet back.

24.  I have high anxiety and am a very indecisive person. #1 on the Enneagram test. 

25.  My favorite movies are sci-fi, action, Disney and anime. (my brother and I love to watch anime) 

26.  I have never broken a bone or gotten stitches. 

27.  I grew up in Plano, TX and have lived in Texas all my life.

28.  I am not the best speller because I’m dyslexic. (spellcheck is my best friends). 

29.  I love to read fiction novels. Francine Rivers’ Mark of the Lion Trilogy is my favorite. 

30.  I love to bake, but since my husband doesn’t eat sweets or dairy (lactose intolerant) I usually only bake when it’s for others.
