  1. I’m always in the mood for guacamole, margaritas and chips. Mexican food is my favorite. Oh and I never met a pizza I didn’t like.
  2. I couldn’t get a date to my senior prom and yet was voted prom queen. And no, it wasn’t a Carrie moment. Let’s just say I was F*CKING shocked when they said my name.
  3. Reading, naps and coffee = MY BEST LIFE
  4. There is nothing better than puppy snuggles or baby giggles. Those are my kryptonite. My heart melts and I turn into a pile of mush.
  5. My mom is from Hawaii so I spent most of my summers there as a child.
  6. I crave nature. Beach, mountains, forest, lakes, I love it all! Being surrounded by this concrete jungle, I make it a priority to spend time in Central Park, feeling the grass on my feet and soaking up the sun.
  7. I LOVE to sing in the shower.
  8. I am a recovering perfectionist. I consciously choose to practice self love and gratitude everyday. I have a gratitude journal where I even give thanks and celebrate the shit out of my mistakes. It’s the mistakes that help me get 1% better everyday.
  9. I LOVE to travel. New cultures, new sights, new food, new people, new languages, new experiences, I love it all!
  10. I am always in the mood to listen to Sara Barielles, Michael Buble or older standards. (Think Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra…)
  11. I love going to Barnes and Noble (or other books stores) and just spending hours looking at books, reading their covers and making lists of books I want to read. #nerdalert
  12. I recently discovered the glory of podcasts and I am OBSESSED! So many podcasts so little time…
  13. I never used to wear bright clothes until I worked at MFF. Now my whole closet is rainbow and neon.
  14. I might still sleep with a blankie. And by might, I don’t go a night without it. It’s pink and ugly and falling apart, but man I love that thing.
  15. I was obsessed with writing when I was a little girl. I was always writing stories and books. I even crated my own newspaper with different articles and cartoons and made my family pay me for a copy.
  16. I am the baby of the family. My brother and sister are 13 & 14 years older than me. Yes we have the same parents, they just needed a little break after having those two so close together. (Their birthday is the EXACT same day a year apart. Irish twins!)
  17. Breakfast food is also a favorite of mine. I love brunch and I love having breakfast for dinner. Here’s the weird part, I’m not such a fan of breakfast foods for breakfast. I’m weird.
  18. Every time I catch a sunrise or a sunset I am filled with so much gratitude. There is nothing like a nature’s artwork to help me feel the enormity of this amazing thing we live on called Earth doing this thing called living.
  19. If I had to choose a last meal, peanut butter would absolutely be involved.
  20. I have read everything I can by Brene Brown.
  21. I believe that the greatest gift you can ever give this world, is the gift of you. Take up some space and allow yourself to be seen. You never know whom you will inspire or whose heart you will touch.
