Well, that’s because it is. Over the past year of starting my blog I realized I have never done an about me post where I share things you all may not know about me. There’s a lot you probably don’t know – but I’ll list the top 25 to keep it short (you know because I’m so interesting I would need more? J/k).

1. I was born in Clarksville, Tennessee and lived there until I was 6.
2. I grew up in Wisconsin & went to college in Missouri 
3. I started college as a chemistry major.. and ended up in public relations (that’s a story for another day)
4. I use to work in entertainment advertising as my big girl job then recently transitioned to beauty branding 
5. I danced for 8 years and played soccer for 15 years up into college before I got injured too badly to play any longer
6. I have an older brother .. who lives in Idaho.. we’re polar opposites
7. I use to eat my cereal dry with milk on the side because I hate soggy food and I use to eat too slow
8. I am deathly allergic to mushrooms 
9. The first time I ever went surfing was in Hawaii and I got coral stuck in my shin
10. I’ve never been to NYC (but that’s changing VERY soon!)
11. I love running long distance and try to run 5 miles 4x a week
12. I use to want to be a painter when I grew up – I don’t paint anymore
13. Hospitals terrify me – mainly the smell, the blood and the white walls
14. I have 2 tattoos 🌊➰
15. I am a natural blonde – but have colored my hair every hue of brown from dark brown to black/brown, auburn, Burgundy, strawberry blonde and platinum blonde
16. If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be fish tacos
17. I could eat guacamole with a spoon, (not could, but I do do this)
18. Mexican food is my favorite, but Italian is a VERYYY close #2
19. I lived in Milan, Italy for a semester and it was the best time of my life
20. I love corgis – my Instagram feed is mainly designer shoes, corgi puppies and exotic beaches
21. If I could live anywhere it would be in Italy by the coast 
22. My #1 travel destination is Egypt to scuba dive in the Red Sea. Egyptian culture and history has always really interested me and I really hope to go someday when it’s safer. Portugal, Indonesia, Greece, Croatia, Uruguay and Morocco are close runner-ups.
23. My biggest pet peeve is messy tooth brushers – I cannot be in the bathroom with someone brushing their teeth, it actually makes me nauseous.
24. I use to be a Taco Bell Brand manager and was known as the Taco Bell girl. Everyone wanted me for my free taco coupons… 
25. My parents almost named me Valerie. I love that name, but I do NOT look like a Valerie. And yes, my birth name is Abigail. & my dad calls me Missy (no clue why).
