Hi Friends! I thought in honor of my 34th birthday, I would share 34 random facts about me. I was completely inspired by Amanda from Strawberry Chic and her birthday post of her 35 most random facts. I don’t share a ton of my personal life online, so I hope you enjoy getting to know me a little bit better. 🙂
34. I was born on Mardi Gras (2/27/1990), which might only be interesting if you’re from Louisiana. 😂
33. I went to college in my hometown and earned my Bachelors in Business Administration in 2014. Now I work in the Admissions Office of that college.
32. My favorite Netflix show is The Great British Baking Show.
31. I’m an enneagram Type 1 (The Perfectionist).
30. I hate being cold or hot, but would rather be cold than hot. Louisiana summers are brutal.
29. I’m absolutely terrified of snakes and the ocean.
28. I’m a movie nerd. Some of my favorites are: The Devil Wears Prada, It’s Complicated, Gladiator, all the Harry Potter movies, and anything from Christopher Nolan. The only movies I really don’t like are action or horror movies.
27. My all-time favorite movie is Titanic. When it came out, I saw it in the theater 3 times and I’ve watched it at least once a year since (and I cry every single time.) No wonder I’m terrified of the ocean. 😂
26. I was a cheerleader for 6 years (2 years in junior high and 4 years in high school).
25. I’m very shy, so I’m not sure how I was a cheerleader. 🤷♀️
24. I can’t do anything without my AirPods. I use them at work, while I’m cleaning, grocery shopping, at the gym, etc. And I’m usually listening to a movie nerd podcast, a true crime podcast or Taylor Swift.
23. My favorite albums are 1989 and Lover.
22. I won a school wide jump rope contest in 8th grade. When I was done, I felt like I won gold in the Olympics. 😂
21. I love home decor almost as much as I love clothes. It’s a reallllyyyyy tight race between the two. I’d say my home decor style is timeless, traditional French country.
20. My celebrity crush is Leonardo DiCaprio (since 1997, obviously).
19. I’m very introverted and have a pretty serious case of RBF. I really have to be mindful of how I look in meetings at work. 😳
18. I love bookstores but I don’t like reading.
17. My first job was working at an ice cream shop when I was 17. I worked there for 3 years then worked as a bank teller while I was in college.
16. I’m very indecisive and overthink almost everything.
15. My husband’s name is Michael, so together we’re Michael Jordan.
14. We met at the gym and we’ve been together for 13 years.
13. My cell phone got stolen on our first date. Normal me would’ve been raging, but since it was our first date, I didn’t want to scare him away. 😅
12. We climbed the Great Wall of China on a study abroad trip in the summer of 2013. Such an incredible experience!
11. If I could, I would take a nap every single day.
10. I find cleaning and organizing relaxing. But I hate doing the laundry.
9. The most millennial thing I’ve ever done was not knowing that I was a millennial.
8. I learned how to do makeup from watching Jaclyn Hill videos on Youtube.
7. I’m really good at pop culture trivia.
6. Certain sounds make me crazy. Especially chewing, whistling, or people singing with the radio, but the worst is the sounds of someone flossing their teeth. My husband knows to run the facet so I can’t hear when he’s doing it 😂
5. I’ve seen every episode of Friends multiple times. I had every season on DVD and watched them on repeat every night when I went to sleep in high school.
4. I didn’t start drinking coffee until I was in my mid-twenties. Now I can drink iced coffee all day long.
3. I didn’t get a Stanley cup until the end of 2023. I love it, but only for the handle. 😅 Cold water hurts my teeth.
2. Christmas is my favorite holiday, and it takes me days to put up all my decorations. I have 19 totes full of decor in my garage. 🫣
1. I’ve never used Tik Tok, and don’t even have the app on my phone.
