29 Things You Might Not Know About Me

29 and feeling wine! I had the best time celebrating my 29th Birthday in New York around the Finger Lakes exploring some of the most beautiful east coast vineyards! I thought I would do a fun little post for you all to get to know me a little bit better and share “29 things you may not know about me”! Some are funny and some are serious! Enjoy!

1. Pharmacy has been my only “real” job ever! I started working at a retail pharmacy when I was 16 & the rest is history!
2. I grew up in a small town in Upstate NY (yes, there is actually about 7 hours more north of New York State that exists besides NYC!)
3. I was voted class party animal in college- sorry Mom & Dad! (but I was also voted “most school spirit” so chose to be recognized for that instead 😂)
4. Kyle and I met on Bumble! We are both pharmacists and we know a bunch of the same people, but we never crossed paths! Timing is everything!
5. In 2018, I bought a brand new condo by myself! I was going through a breakup & it was the one thing I did for myself! I got to customize everything from the floors, countertops to the paint! I moved in and met Kyle a week later 😂
6. I gained about 25 pounds my freshman year of college. (there are pics to prove it! 👀)
7. I’m a pharmacy manager at a retail grocery store pharmacy! I work 12 hour days, so I only work about 13 days a month which is how I have so much time to blog!
8. I’m not a great cook- Kyle is 100% the cook of the house, but I’m learning more everyday! I wonder daily how I survived before him 😂 (cereal for dinner was my jam!)
9. I have two Bengal cats- Leo and Neo! They’re crazy, but I love them! Kyle has 1 dog, Brixton, (he’s a golden retriever) and they all love each other! With all of our animals, I say we have a “pharm” (omg that’s so nerdy when I type it out LOL).
10. I get hangry really fast and really bad,  but then fill up after 2 bites. Kyle jokes about carrying around a slice of bread for me because it comes out of nowhere. 
11. I didn’t dye or highlight my hair until just a couple of years ago! It’s naturally pitch black! Growing up I was always asked if it was fake. I also don’t have extensions- it’s all my real hair!
12. I played both Soccer and Basketball in college! (everyone assumes I’m a girly girl but I’m actually pretty athletic!)
13. When I finished pharmacy school I grew a million dollar a year online makeup business! I still have it, but I’ve definitely switched gears!
14. I hardly ever watch tv! (Although my guilty pleasure is The Bachelor/Bachelorette) I do love snuggling up on the couch with Kyle watching a movie or show but I’m not one to binge watch shows or anything like that.
15. I hate water 😂 I have to force myself to drink it. If I drink one glass of water a day that’s a good day for me. My poor kidneys! 
16. I hope to one day be a full time blogger! I love working for myself and my dream would be to work from home once we have kids!
17. Super type-A personality. Always organized, always have a plan, super competitive, driven to succeed etc. 
18. I grew up in a HUGE family! I have 17 first cousins on side and 23 on the other side! Cousins are the best and were my first best friends!
19. I hate being alone! I’m a huge chicken and I also just always like to be around people. (Super extrovert!)
20. I’m a huge family person and big momma’s girl which is the biggest reason why I don’t ever want to move too far!
21. I’m a morning person! I don’t necessarily enjoy waking up early, but I’m most productive in the morning! I’m fine as long as I get 7-8 hours of sleep.
22. I used to HATE coffee! I would get mad at my parents if they made it while I was in the house, now I literally don’t function without it.
23. I only applied to one college & got in early acceptance! I knew I wanted to go to pharmacy school so I just put all my eggs in one basket & thankfully it worked out! (not sure I’d recommend doing that)
24. My eye sight is so bad all of a sudden. My whole life I had 20/20 vision (I actually used to want fake glasses) and within the last couple of years my eyes have just gotten SO bad.
25. I love to dance, but I’m so bad at it. I literally have no rhythm, but you’ll always find me on the dance floor all night long at weddings. 
26. I have a camel collection (again laughing out loud as I type this 😂). It started in 5th grade when my teacher gave me a small camel eraser for my bday & it just stuck. 🤷🏻‍♀️
27. I love being busy! People wonder how I do so much (work full time, blog, makeup business, good relationship, go out etc)- but I always just love having something to do! I get bored easily!
28. I had braces for 4 years and then Invisalign for 1 year! These teeth weren’t cheap! 😁
29. I laugh a lot & I’m always smiling!

I hope you guys loved this and feel like you were able to get to know me a little bit better! If you have any more questions, I’m an open book! Feel free to DM me on Instagram or leave a comment here! Happy Saturday!

xoxo,
