Hi Everyone! Thanks for stopping by. I thought it would be fun for you to get to know me a little better by sharing 25 things you probably didn’t know about me.
1 // I have never been out of the country.
The first place I want to visit is Greece. I’m actually 25% Greek!
2 // I love The History Channel, HGTV and Investigation Discovery.
I can leave any one of those channels on, and not touch the remote because I like every show that comes on.
3 // I wanted to be a homicide detective.
This obviously stemmed from my love of watching shows about crime, but once I realized how much science was involved, I was out! haha. I’ve never been good at science.
4 // I’m a very messy person.
Mess just honestly doesn’t bother me. I can have clothes and random things all over the floor, and I’ll just step over them. The only think that brothers me is dirty dishes in the sink because I can’t take the smell.
5 // I always wish I lived in a different time period.
Again, going back up to no. 2. I’m fascinated by how culture differs through the decades, and think it would be so fun to be able to spend time in each decade.
6 // I think I’m nocturnal.
I have NEVER been a morning person. I rather stay up all night, and sleep all day. I get my most creative ideas just laying in bed at night.
7 // Halloween is my favorite holiday.
I love getting all dressed up and doing my make up. I recently got into some special effects make up a few years ago, which makes it so much more fun. Only thing is…. It’s getting harder and harder to top the year before.
8 // If I could eat one meal forever it would be filet mignon, salad and mashed potatoes.
Pretty self explanatory… It’s all BOMB. Always been a meat and potato girl.
9 // I almost didn’t graduate high school because I was failing gym.
Don’t laugh. This is actually true. I never changed for gym and would just sit there on my phone. I had to walk the track before graduation practice to make up classes. I honestly wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to walk at graduation. SMH….
10 // It look me about 23 years to realize I was using a can opener wrong.
You are probably asking yourself, “How does one use a can opener wrong?” Well, apparently I found a way. It might be the wrong way, but it worked! It wasn’t until I moved out and my roommate finally taught me how to use it. Shout out Ashley! You da real MVP.
11 // I cracked my head open before and had to get staples.
I was really young. My mom picked me up from the baby sitters, and I was dressed up because it was Valentine’s Day. I slipped in the garage in my little dressy shoes, and hit my head of the rim of my dad’s car.
12 // I carried my baby blanket everywhere with me until high school.
No shame! I was always OBSESSED with my baby blankets. My mom always joked that were going to be in my wedding bouquet, and I honestly never thought I would get over them. It was like a flip of a switch. One day I was just like, “Eh. I’m over you.”
13 // I’m not very good at keeping secrets.
But for some reason people love telling me them. I just get so excited and want to share. I can only keep a secret if it’s something reallyyyyy serious, and you tell me I can’t tell. lol
14 // I’m a very picky eater.
I’m definitely getting better with age and opening up to new things. I’m more picky about the way things are prepared. For instance, I won’t eat cucumbers in my salad if they have the skin still on them, or I won’t eat the ends of pickles, only the middle. I know. It doesn’t make any sense.
15 // My dad threw out my entire make up “collection.”
As you now know, I’m a messy person and when I was probably about 10, I got make up all over my carpet. My dad being the neat freak he is was notttt happy. He threw away all my nail polish, blue eye shadow and body glitter. #rude
16 // I’m obsessed with Ginger Ale and Bar-B-Q Sunflower Seeds.
If I walk into a gas station, this is probably what I’m walking out with.
17 // I prefer salty snacks to sweet.
I’m not really into chocolate or deserts. I would take a pretzels over a cupcake any day.
18 // I like listening to the musical stations on Pandora.
I am a HORRIBLE singer. I’m talking really, really bad, but I love musicals. That’s one thing I wish I could do; sing.
19 // I hate washing my face outside of the shower.
I have to force myself to do this one. I’m not sure why, but I hate the water running down my arms; hate getting water in my hair; hate having to move products from the shower to the sink.
20 // I LOVE action and gangster movies.
I’d take a Marvel movie over a rom com all day, every day. I’m obsessed with all the Avenger movies. I also love The Sopranos and Goodfellas.
21 // I once had bright red hair.
In junior high I dyed the whole bottom layer of my hair fire engine red. I had layers in my hair so when I wore it down, it looked like i just dyed the tips (which was ~*cool*~ back then), but when I had to pull it up for cheerleading, it was a different story. haha!
22 // I’m lactose intolerant.
But, that doesn’t stop me from eating cheese. <33333 I love cheese, but I won’t drink milk and try to avoid other dairy products.
23 // I remember a lot of my dreams.
Really weird, but my dreams are really vivid, and I usually remember them. I like to Google them to see what they mean.
24 // I’m claustrophobic.
Concerts that are too crowded and parking garages aren’t my thing.
25 // I don’t like extreme temps.
I hate being really hot in the summer, and I hate being cold (which I’m usually cold). Spring and fall are when I thrive. 🙂
xx,
Nicole
