10 Random Facts About Me

1. Like many kids who grew up in the nineties, I had a superhero crush on Sailor Moon. I was going to be her, except less ditzy and without the meatball head hairstyle. Plus, her boots were so on point, I wanted them in my closet.
2. My first high end makeup piece was from Clinique when I was fourteen. It was their Superbalanced Foundation and I both treasured it and used it up quickly because, I NEEDED TO WEAR IT EVERYDAY.
3. I rub my thighs aggressively when I’m stressed. I don’t know why this habit happened but there it is.
4. I’m not a fan of hugs. They make me anxious and invade my space. When I do give hugs I’m told I have “t-rex arms”. They’re all stiff and awkward, and to make it worse, I do this weird pat on the back because I don’t even know how to hug someone like normal. Seriously, what does a normal hug look like?!
5. I’ve been told I’m not diplomatic because I’m too honest. I’m not quite sure that’s an entirely bad thing.
6. At one time I had over 120 lip products which embarrassed me to no end. I’m desperately trying to wheedle that down and have managed to reduce it by a lot. I have a long way to go and have absolutely no reason to buy any more things for my lips. But I want to try the lip liners from Mary Kay and this is the thinking that got me into this mess in the first place.
7. I used to collect Barbie dolls. Her style is always on point and I wanted to be surrounded by a good role model. I mean, Barbie is an astronaut, a dentist, a doctor, a veterinarian, a paleontologist, etc. etc. There ain’t nothing she can’t do, and she does it all in high heels and amazeballs hair!
8. I collect leather-bound books. I like the ones from the Barnes and Noble Classic Leather-bound series as well as the Easton Press books.
9. I have a hard time eating tomatoes. Sometimes I’ll sneak them into a dish but nine out of ten times, I regret it the next day.
10. I buy vinyl albums and have no record player. This is exactly as idiotic as it sounds.
