Hey guys!! And Happy Friday!! Today I thought I would do something a little bit different. In an effort to be more open, I have decided to share 10 random facts about myself so that you can get to know me better outside of style and fashion. So here we go!
1. I am afraid of scary movies. It’s so bad to the point that I will change the channel when a commercial or trailer is playing for a scary movie. I think my phobia began in middle school when I first saw Poltergeist. Ahhhhhhh! Omg! Yea, no scary thriller movies for me!
2. I am a Hopeless Romantic!! I believe that love is an amazing and beautiful experience that will come at the right time. I truly hold sentimental values on love, in-spite of my experiences. Life is love!
3. I was born and raised in a college town, Tuscaloosa, AL. I graduated from the University of Alabama. Rolllllll Tide Roll! But here’s the kicker! I’ve only been to one Alabama football game! Isn’t that crazy?! To have grown up in the town and gone to the school and only one game!…Don’t get me wrong, I love Alabama football but I prefer cheering on my team at watch parties and tailgates.
4. I was a serial extracurricular participator as a child. I took dance, gymnastics, baton, piano, choir, member of a girl’s community organization, Jack and Jill, Debutant, a variety of school clubs— you name it!
5. I don’t eat condiments! I like plain burgers and hotdogs. No ketchup, mustard, mayo, ranch, sour cream or tartar sauce for me. If it is mistakenly put on something I order, I absolutely HAVE to send it back. As I’ve gotten older I will eat some sauces, like BBQ, teriyaki and hot sauce from time to time.
6. I am the youngest of all my siblings. I have 1 brother, 1 sister and 2 half brothers. I love them all dearly!
7. I love to work out. I was always active as a kid and in college but then the metabolism started to slow down as I grew older. I moved to Houston and decided to start my fitness journey about 4 years ago with Reggie C Fitness. It is an amazing all women’s gym. We have a close knit community that pushes and cheers each other on along the way!
8. I competed in 2 NPC Bikini Fitness shows. The prep experience was like no other but totally worth it. Being on stage and showcasing my hard work was so liberating! My first show I placed 1st in Open for my class. My second show I placed 1st in Novice and 2nd in Open for my class. I am nationally qualified, which is a huge deal in the NPC world. I’m currently debating with myself on when my next competition will be. Competing takes so much focus, discipline, energy, and time. You have to be fully committed and mentally prepared so I’ll keep you guys posted.
9. I LOVE brunching! I have an on going list of the hottest brunch spots in Houston and it just keeps getting longer! I love to get dressed and dolled up to meet my girlfriends and catch up on the latest over brunch. It’s a WHOLE mood. Hahaa! A good Boozy brunch is a highlight to any weekend.
10. I love doing makeovers, whether it’s inside or out! I enjoy helping people to feel confident, see their true beauty and be comfortable in their own skin. A lot of times people just need a boost whether it’s a new look or positive and encouraging words.
