26 things about me

AHH!! I’M 26!!

You know what that means right??? …. I don’t really … what does it mean? Is there actually anything (legally) that is cool – or not cool – about turning 26? I guess I’ll let you all know of anything else when I turn 27 😉 I also don’t consider myself in my late 20’s yet … do you? Like, 21/22/23 are early – 24/25/26 can be mid – and then 27/28/29 are late? If not, that’s what I’m going with anyway!

Birthday’s are my thiiiiiing! I love them! So if you’re wondering if I’m sad about turning another year older… nah! Age is just a number … right? PLUS, the older the wiser, eh? 😛 This birthday will obviously look slightly different but we’re making the best of it! Follow along on Instagram to see all the fun things I have planned for the day! *I’m a planner I can’t help but to do it myself. #sorrynotsorry! Also if there is anything I’ve learned in my 26 years of life, it’s if you want something done your way – do it yourself.

so here is today’s post…

26 THINGS ABOUT ME!

1.) I would consider myself an introverted extrovert! Until we become on “that level” I’m shy and awkward. Mostly awkward.

2.) My husband calls me the candle queen – I wouldn’t argue with that – I just cant help myself when it comes to a cozy smelling house

3.) I would choose a road trip over flying any day! Obviously if the trip is limited in days and time, I will fly. Road tripping is where it’s at! Unlimited snacks, luggage, and site seeing – can’t beat it!

4.) I’m a true crime JUNKIE. I have probably seen every crime show, L&O SVU, Dateline, serial killer documentary etc. You name it, I’ve either watched it or will watch it. Though I refuse to watch any “unsolved” mysteries … I can’t handle not knowing! * I wish I was an FBI agent or detective* *send me to Quantico plz*

5.) Bouncing off of that above, it’s on my bucket list to be able to walk the Colorado SuperMax prison and observe all of the notorious criminals living inside. Sitting in on interviews with them as well! *and not because I think they are coooool, I would just love to see how their brain works and why they did these things.

6.) The thought of building and decorating my own home one day puts me in actual tears of excitement. And then I usually go on a few day binge of powerpoint Inso boards!

7.) Yes, powerpoint/spreadsheets/ word docs…. that’ me, annoyingly. Planning and organizing is just in my blood! TBT to my 21st birthday when I handed my friends an itinerary … for the WEEKEND – HAHAH sorry girls, thanks for being troopers 😛

8.) I’m terrified of needles. I can’t even look at them when they pop up on the tv screen or anything. It takes me a few days to process when I’m in need of a shot or blood drawn. There have been times where it was spur of the moment and I’ve cried, with crackers and a juice box in the doctors office … (at the fine age of 25)

9.) I watch the movie The Grinch year round .. and can quote the entire thing. You probably don’t want to watch it with me haha! It all started when Kev was on the road for an away game and I had bing watched a serial killer series alone and couldn’t fall asleep! The Grinch just made it all better LOL!

10.) I’m most calm and happy when I’m setting up for someone else’s wedding. LOL, right?! I’m quick to get stressed so you’d think I’d be a train wreck on wedding day… yet I’m the complete opposite. I guess knowing I’m the one that knows the ins and outs and is now in control makes me feel a lot better about it. lol – wow as if that didn’t just scream ‘type A’.

11.) After being a gymnast my whole life, I cheered in college #BGxxSU #talonsup + wow do I miss that feeling of a Saturday game day!! go falcons!

12.) I have MANY dream vacations – I want to see the entire world!!!! As of this moment – Thailand and Greece will be on my absolute ‘need to visit’ bucket list!

13.) After I turned 25 it was like I hit my 80th birthday. If it was an alcoholic beverage it could only be ONE & if it was after 10pm you could count me out! Being that my entire life of 25 was basically spent in quarantines between the US and Canada didn’t help much.

14.) I’m a FIRM believer of self care days!!

15.) My nails have been gel polished for 4 years straight now, bouncing between only two colors – baby pink and white. *I’ve changed it a few times when I got my new gel kit for home, but end up only keeping the new color on for less than 4 days!

16.) I’m an iced coffee FEIN! But listen, because I know some of y’all are confused here! Dunkin Donuts is year round (I go on hiatus’s when they mess it up after a few times.. the worst) Starbucks is ONLY for when the pumpkin spice is out! The day I hit the counter and they say “we’re out of the PS” I say ‘see ya next year!’ My keurig never does me wrong so I’m here for that everyday.

17.) My dream is to open my very own wedding venue and being able to work one on one with couples again on their special day! eek!

18.) I have an obsession with junk food – snacks – snacks – snacks – snacks – alllll the snacks! I can’t even break it down to tell you a fave because … I love it all (but HotFries and Coca Cola are my weakness) *I have zero self control

19.) You wouldn’t believe this (sarcasm) but I make a weekly to-do list, and then every single night I make a daily to-do list. HAHA I couldn’t live without lists. Chances of you finding random lists around the house are extremely high! There’s something about crossing it off that makes it so satisfying.

20.) I liiive in my slippers. If it was socially acceptable to leave the house and go places in slippers – I would be that girl. Also, if you haven’t already – you NEED to get you a pair of these! Hands down my favorite pair of slippers I’ve ever had!

21.) My skincare routine is my number one priority when I wake up and when I go to bed. I will actually check my bag in at the airport rather than a carry on, just so my skin care can make it across with me. How do you not? I’m confused.

22.) I don’t like to be touched. I love love love giving and getting hugs, but after a reasonable amount of time, that’s enough! And if you’re not giving me a hug there’s no other reason for you to be touching me sooooooo *awkward smile emoji*

23.) I’m an actual shopaholic. And I’m not talking the big designer expensive things, I’m talking the little pesky thing that add up quickly. Like hair ties, socks, deodorant, face scrubbers, mugs, lotion, shampoo/conditioner, containers, like? It’s the small things that give me so much joy. I feel it in my gut if I leave a store with nothing in my hands… I know, I’m crazy and my financial degree of a husband is doomed. Please tell me I’m not alone …

24.) My favorite color is pink! Like the super light almost nude color pink! But don’t be surprised if I show up in fuchsia! 😛

25.) I love love love kids – but I love love love to give them back, even more! I see myself more as the super fun aunt that gets to go to her quiet home at the end of the night! Hoping this changes eventually for my husbands sake, but for now send me all the kiddos that I get to send back!

26.) Ending on a note that may or may not make you all hate me …. but let’s get it out of the way now – I am NOT an animal person, at all! Yes, I think they are all cute – but I do not want them near or on me. I also don’t understand the fascination with them- eek. BUT I will say, that kev and I found the most perfect small dog (that doesn’t shed!) that we both love – so maybe in a few years I’ll be up for all the pet convos HAHA

WOW – things just got real deep! I didn’t hold back at all – y’all now know me on a whole other personal level!

With that being said, I’m going to go enjoy what I can of my big TWO SIX birthday!! Thanks for reading & for ALL of the amazing birthday wishes!!

Wishing you all the best of New Year – you deserve it!

XOXO – B
