20 Random Facts About Me
1. I don’t drink coffee.
Surprise! I’m definitely a morning person and have never needed coffee to wake me up! Plus, caffeine makes me feel super jittery and anxious. I prefer lemon water or tea. If I ever crave the taste of espresso, I’ll go for a decaf almond or oat milk latte!
2. My most embarrassing story: I once accidentally tried to return a pair of my own underwear at Victoria’s Secret.
It somehow ended up in my things that I was returning, so when she pulled it out and was confused…I quickly grabbed my underwear back and thew them in my purse. So embarrassing, but now it makes me laugh!
3. I graduated from Keene State College in New Hampshire with a B.S. in Elementary Education and Psychology.
After graduating, I realized my passion was working one-on-one with children. Since then, I have loved every second of being a nanny!
4. I was super athletic growing up.
I played soccer, softball, basketball, gymnastics and dance. Cross-country and basketball were my favorites!
5. I have misophonia.
Basically, I can’t stand loud sounds like chewing, crunching, etc. It drives me crazy!
6. My guilty pleasure is reality TV.
I’m a fan of The Bachelor + Bachelorette, KUWTK and The Real Housewives (Beverly Hills and O.C. are my faves)!
7. Aaron and I have been together since 2010!
It all started when he added me on Facebook and then private messaged me! We started talking on AIM (does this date me?!), exchanged numbers, texted for a while and finally decided to meet up in person in Boston a few months later.
8. I have a weird aversion to squishy foods.
I won’t eat grapes or tomatoes if they’re too soft.
9. My dream kitchen will be all white, modern + spacious.
For now, a small cute apartment kitchen will do.
10. I first started transitioning to a more plant-based diet right before Aaron and I started dating (see #7)! I first eliminated red meat, then fish, then slowly went from vegetarian to vegan.
11. I like simplicity.
12. My favorite non-toxic skincare products are a nourishing moisturizer + natural mascara.
13. I’m the type of person who would rather stay in than go out.
My ideal night looks a little something like this: comfy pj’s, a face mask + a movie with Aaron.
14. I’ll always watch a movie, then immediately read the trivia section on IMBD about it.
15. I used to wear glasses 24/7 until I was in 6th grade, when I grew out of them.
Now that I’m older (and my eyes are getting older, hah), I just wear my glasses for reading and while on the computer!
16. I’m an empath and highly sensitive.
I can read other people’s emotions very easily. My alone time is a non-negotiable for me. It’s my time to recharge and regroup.
17. I absolutely love photography and playing with presets!
I love shooting landscapes + food. After graduating college, I bought myself a Canon Rebel T3i. It’s survived almost 10 years, but I probably could use an update soon!
18. My favorite ways to indulge in self-care are treating myself to some fresh flowers (pink peonies are my fav), a relaxing massage or a long walk by the beach.
19. I consider myself pretty low maintenance.
My hair + makeup routine is fairly simple. I rarely blow dry my hair, I would rather air-dry it. The only time I really dress up is for special occasions!
20. I’m a dog person!
Unfortunately, I’m allergic to cats. Growing up, we had 4 german shepherds – Candy, Chloe, Bella and Libby! One day, I hope to adopt a dog from the shelter (wink, wink Aaron!)
