Does anyone else feel that sometimes the details about you aren't super interesting or important? Well today I'm breaking the 'not sure if this is interesting' barrier' to give you 10 random things that I don't think you know about me!
We are all uniquely different, but also very similar and all of those things should be celebrated! So here are some random facts about me that I hope will help us get to know each other a little better!
#10. Lately I enjoy watching Youtube videos! Some of my favorites are Jenna Marbles, Ladylike, Nikki Tutorials, Simply Nailogical and a whole bunch of videos in between!
#9. I am gluten intolerant and have been for 6 years!
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, and that doesn't mean strictly bread but is an ingredient that almost everything manufactured. Through several blood tests and many more doctor visits, I was diagnosed as Gluten intolerant at 19. Grocery store shopping was DIFFICULT for the longggggggest time because I always saw what I wasn't able to eat instead of searching for all the things I could eat! I do not force my husband Warren to eat GF! But he chooses to about 90% of the time to show support!
#8. I have an extreme spiritual, mental and physical need for camping and nature!
I have been an avid camper for all 25 years of my life! Thankfully I married into a family of campers as well, so we have on average about 3 camping trips per year! We love to hike, fly fish (catch and release), swim, shoot, boat, and do our best to enjoy the moment.
#7. My favorite treasure in life is traveling with my sweetheart Warren.
We have traveled together to California, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Caribbean, New York (JFK airport counts right?!), Georgia (again… the airport was cool!) and have plans for Fiji and more in the near future!
#6. I think I may be the queen of allergies! I am allergic to... ummm everything. haha But seriously!! I am allergic to all cats, 99% dogs (unless they are hypoallergenic; no shedding or dandruff), grass, sagebrush, dust, pollen, cotton, wheat (that dang gluten) and have very sensitive skin!
#5. If I could change one thing about myself? It would be my extreme self-deprecation.
I easily beat myself apart with what I do, say, think, feel and am working on trusting myself COMPLETELY. If something happens that is not exactly how I thought? It's a stumble forward (check out my post on learning to loving yourself HERE). But I have been extremely blessed to have a husband that understands and treats me like a queen.. I would not be as mentally stable and healthy as I am now without his influence.
#4. I LOVE music!! I have such an eclectic list of music and my favorite music player is Spotify!
From R&B, Rap, Pop, Acoustic, Alternative, Latin Pop (my hubby got me into this genre!) Electronica, Classic, Oldies, 2000's, Rock and Roll, and many others! The only thing you won't see an extreme amount of? Country Western... Sorry friends...
#3. My all-time favorite gift? SOCKS! SOCKS! SOCKS! I LOVE the feeling of new socks... My faves are the no show ankle socks or the tall boot socks.
#2. I very much dislike fall and winter. I hate being cold, miserable, not able to go outside at any time with no sun to soak in the vitamin D? I STRUGGLE during the cold months here in Utah.. Hence why all of my pictures on this blog are sunny and warm...
#1. My husband Warren and I met online of ALL PLACES!
We met on the one place I never would have guessed; Facebook. Through a mutual friend as well! Warren knew the friend through High School and I knew him through church. After connecting on FB, Warren reached out to me via FB messenger and asked me for my number. (I still have the message, ya know for posterities sake!)
He met both Pooka and I for the first time ON our actual first date. Pooka loved him and I was completely awe struck by him... We were married a year later on May 12th 2016!!!!
