10 Facts About Me

Sometimes with how constant social media can be over on Instagram, I forget to stop and introduce myself. So I wanted to do a little run down of a few bits about me that people tend to ask in my DMs every now and then. Hopefully you can get to know me a bit better this way!

10 Facts About Me

1. I’m 27. Yep, in my last few years of the 20’s! I’m was born in the 90s, and am a 90s girl through and through. I grew up with Tamagotchis, AOL, and flip phones.
2. I was born in California. And  I never left! I’ve lived in a few places in California, but just haven’t been able how to ever leave the weather here.
3. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen inspired me to travel. No joke, I fell in love with travel because of all of the MKA movies I watched as a kid. I was getting major wanderlust to go to all of the places they filmed—London, Paris, Australia, Rome… you name it. TBH Passport to Paris is prob still in my top 10 movies, and my sister and I planned our first trip abroad together when we were kids and made it happen when I was 19 all thanks to the Olsen twins.
4. I got into blogging out of obsession. I’m not even sure what my “first” blog was because I would make websites about things I loved even as a kid. So many collages and photos! I’ve been cataloging and taking photos for as long as I could remember, so blogging has always just felt like something I had to do as a creative outlet. I’m so thankful I can share all of the things I’m obsessed with with you!
5. I’m a country girl turned city girl. I grew up on my grandparents ranch and tire swing in central California. They farmed citrus and avocados, and we spent most of our time out on the ranch. Fun fact: I never paid for fruits until I left for college, and I legit thought avocados should be free because we would get bags full from the tree on a regular basis. I was like “What do you mean guac is extra?! That shits free.”
6. I’m a total insomniac. I’ve always had the hardest time going to bed, and especially waking up. I feel like my best ideas always come to me late at night, and I feel motivated to clean the entire house at like 1 AM on a regular basis. It’s weird and annoying, but I think it’s also good to listen to your body and it’s natural rhythm, right?
7. My style icon is Brigitte Bardot. I love how everything she wears is so simple and effortless.  Give me all of the off the shoulder tops and headbands, please!
8. I grew up in an all-female household. Growing up it was just me, my sister, and my mom. Needless to say we had A LOT of fun. There was basically a photoshoot, runway show and dress up sesh going on every day growing up. We even listened to the entire Britney Spears ‘…Baby One More Time‘ album on repeat during road trips.
9. Decorating keeps me awake at night. I love to decorate so much that I will plan and re-plan rooms on the regular. It’s such an obsession for me that when I’m browsing houses that I definitely can’t even afford yet I decorate the entire space in my mind knowing that I’ll never live there. Haha. Anyone else obsessed with decor?
10. Joe and I are technically  high school sweet hearts. We were friends in high school, and went to senior prom together and then couldn’t get enough of each other. Here we are nine years later and still spend all of our time together. So lucky to have him as a best friend and life partner!
