22 Things About Me

Feb 27

I had one of the best weekends.

And it was all because of you guys.

I read each and every comment, birthday wishes, and texts from friends, family, you readers, and couldn't stop smiling from all the love. I know I said this numerous times, but seriously, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my birthday a memorable one.

To wrap up birthday festivities, I wanted to include 22 things you may not know about me.

For those of you who have followed me all seven years, you may know some of these facts, but for any new readers, I wanted to share a few things about me that you may not know.

Scroll down for more...

1. I was born in Port Lavaca, Texas.

2. My favorite color is Carolina blue (which is why I chose to attend UNC-Chapel Hill... just kidding)

3. I'm a senior public relations major at the Media and Journalism School here at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Go Heels!

4. I wanted to be an author when I was little. But then again, I also dressed up as an angel for Career Day in elementary school... LOL.

5. I once traveled through three time zones in one day.

6. I've been blogging for seven years.

7. My favorite season is Fall.

8. Peonies are my favorite flowers.

9. I have one older sister and one younger brother.

10. I've known Alex of Sweets by Alexandria since we played tennis together back in my middle school days. And now she runs a cupcake business in Durham, and gifted me these sweet customized cupcakes in a jar. Thank you!

11. Speaking of... I'm very athletic.

I can play tennis, soccer, basketball, swim, and run track.

And catch and throw a football.

12. I wear contacts (and glasses at home). I have the worst vision.

13. I'm a sucker for psychological thrillers. I read this book previously and LOVED IT. I also read this book in one sitting.

14. I have this odd coconut obsession. If I come across anything labeled 'coconut' or 'coconut-flavored,' I instantly want to try it.

15. I went to Terry Sanford High School in Fayetteville, NC. The same high school that J. Cole graduated from.

16. My older sister Rebecca has been my blog photographer consistently for the past two years now, and even though she's not a photographer, she is AMAZING.

17. I attended New York Fashion Week for the first time last month. In case you missed the post here.

18. Every year, I've partnered with Swoozie's for some type of celebration, and they never fail to have THE BEST party decorations.

19. I write down everything. As a perfectionist and a busy bee, I do a lot of things on a daily basis that I don't want to forget. I'll even go to lengths to write down 'go to MEJO 434 class' on my to-do list just because... haha.

20. This one is probably obvious, but... I am the biggest Carolina basketball fan. If you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat (mostly Snapchat lol), then you already know that by now.
