20 Random Facts About Me


About 11 weeks ago (I know this because I checked Instagram), Chandra tagged me to do this. I forgot, then remembered, then forgot again. This pattern repeated about five or six times. So, this week after a few days of feeling too uninspired to blog, I remembered again and decided I would use it as an opportunity for you  my lovely readers  to learn a little more about me. I learned a lot about myself as well. Here goes:

1. My favorite drink is water.
2. I like to iron, but it takes me weeks to gear up to actually do it.
3. I feel awkward when people help me with stuff.
4. I'm convinced that I kiss my son hundreds of times a day.
5. Sometimes I belly dance in the bathroom mirror. I mean, who doesn't?
6. I got straight A's all throughout middle and high school, except for that one "B+" in Spanish 3 Honors when I was in the 10th grade.
7. I'm in a borderline abusive relationship with food, but I love it too much to break up.
8. I really enjoy reading, but rarely make the time for it. Any book suggestions?
9. I don't think I'm photogenic, and, as such, I'm the worst at selfies.
10. I like to shop alone... Actually, I like to do most things alone.
11. I have three brothers. No sisters.
12. Lately, I prefer lifestyle blogs over fashion blogs. I would have a lifestyle blog if I was confident that I wouldn't bore you to tears.
13. My favorite sitcom of all time is The Cosby Show.
14. I collect random facts in my mind, so when I came across @UberFacts on Twitter, I was like, "Hey, somebody gets me."
15. I prefer online shopping over shopping in-store, but I hate the waiting part. So, I usually check the store before I actually purchase online.
16. No matter how much I love a particular perfume scent, when it runs out I almost never replace it with the same one.
17. I'm not afraid of needles/injections. (I figure that is rare and random enough to share.)
18. I'm a horrible singer... but I can imitate singers pretty well.
19. I call bloggers whose material I read often my "blogger friends."
20. I surprised myself by thinking of 20 random facts about me.

I'd love to get to know you better as well. Tell me something random about yourself in a comment below or shoot me an email.

  2. Fun post! I should probably do one of these someday. Unlike you, I hate ironing - it's such a laborious process and I don't even remember the last time I ironed something. LOL. Your favorite drink is water...okay, so that explains your flawless skin! :)

    1. Haha! Yes, you should do something like this. As one of your readers, I can speak for all of us and say we'd like to learn more about you. Your recent updates to your About Me page helped :)

      And thanks for the compliment!

  3. Fun post! About your new found love for lifestyle blogging, you could start with a few posts here and there on something lifestyle- (or other topic) related, say one Friday a month, and call it your "freestyle Friday" post or something like that. And see how you and your audience like it. :-)

    A random fact about me: I've thought about starting either a modest fashion blog or lifestyle blog, for a while - ummmm make that over a year. But I'm hesitate. *sigh* I was frustrated about modest fashion blogs until I found yours (and MoMoMod) and went YES WE NEED MORE OF THIS! I'm just trying to figure it if I'm supposed to be an active part of the solution too. ^_^

    P.S. Ditto on The Cosby Show... they don't make shows like that anymore.

  7. I belly dance in the mirror while singing "I'm sexy & I know it Lol....doing things alone hallelujah I'm not the only one.....I actually enjoy giving injections & needles fascinate me, I think my obsession came from grandma allowing me to inject her with her diabetic insulin shot at 12yrs old....what can I say, I was a responsible kid!!! :-) :-) :-)
