11 Fun Facts:

1. When I was in elementary school my friend played connect the dots with a pen on my arm. I'm a red head, so my whole arm is freckles. Needless to say there was more pen then skin left exposed.

2. I failed math in 9th grade horribly, my teacher was super mean to me and told me I was pretty much never going to amount to anything. When I got to college I aced Statistics and Calculus and became a teaching assistant and a tutor.
TAKE THAT TEACHER!

3. I am fluent in sign language. I took 4 semesters of it in college! It has come in very handy, quite surprisingly.

4. Starting in 10th grade I became litteraly obsessed with lip gloss, then I had a crazy allergic reaction to lip gloss and started using chapstick, then I seriously became addicted to chapstick. I became anxious if I left it at home. I decided one day I would stop using it, and now only go in if for some reason I am despartley need it.
See recovering chapstick addict!

5. I have over 50 different nail polish colors and I use just about every one of them.

6. I never ran the mile in gym class in high school, or swam in gym class. I still got an A+ in gym. I refered to myself as a gym Allstar. I was a total dweeb!

7. I make the best faces when I've had a few drinks.



Hahaha!

8. Sometimes, my friends and I would pretend to be different things in college.
 
These crack me up!!!

9. I had my lip pierced when I was in high school, before it was cool for preppy girls to have them pierced. The hole never closes, so I can always put it back in!

10. I am currently in the process of professionally whitening my teeth for the wedding. Please let me tell you HOW painful this is. My teeth are not normally sensitive. I have no problems with crest white strips or anything. But ohmygoodness, this is so painful for an entire day after.
But whatever, I want white teeth like my wedding dress so beauty is pain!

11. I have a black thumb and by this I mean I can not for the life of me keep plants alive. I don't know what it is, but they all die on me!!
So not plant sitting for me!!


How long have you been blogging and what made you start your blog?

I started blogging in 2009 during my first year of graduate school. I started a new school where I didn't know anyone and was so stressed out with graduate school that I needed somewhere to vent about how stressed and how crazy my life was in grad school

What's your favorite way to spend a Saturday and/or day off from work?

Doing something with my friends or my fiance. I hate staying at home and I find that it hates me because I always get a headache when I do nothing. So anything whether it be going for a long run, going hiking, going snowboarding, shopping or anything. Anything other than being bored.

Do you wear makeup?
I do, I love make up, but most of the time I go quite minimally. Since I am a red head my eye lashes are no noticable without mascara, so if anything I always have mascara on.

If you could tell your 15-year-old self one thing about where you are now, what would it be?
That everything is exactly where I want it to be!!
What's your favorite easy-go-to meal?
Chilli- I am obsessed with chilli and can whip it up in like 15 minutes!
Are you a sports fan? What are your favorite sports teams?
Yep, but prefer sports much more in person and not on TV.
However, my teams are the Yankees, the Patriots, the Celtics, and the Montreal Canadiens.
Yes I realize they are all over the place haha!
Do you like to travel?
Love it, however I do not get to as much as I would like. Thankfully my family is spread out a bit, so at least I get to leave NY once in a while.

If you money were not an object and your boss said to you tomorrow, "Go take a week off and do something fun", where would you go and what would you do?
Fiji and literally do everything that there is to do in Fiji including nothing at all!
Do your family/friends know you have a blog? Do they read it?
A few really close friends and family do, but mostly keep my blog life to those who are most important to me and my bloggie friends!
What's your favorite fashion accessory?
My engagement ring!
Valentine's Day - yay or nay?
I dislike all the hype, but I love the concept and I have a super cute idea for valentines this year that I am going to hand out to the people I work with this year!!

I however, am just going to tag anyone who wants to play along!

If You Liked It, Then You Should Have Put a Ring On It

Brittany at Mrs. Yellow Ribbion started a link up called Show Me Your.. Ring 
So here goes... 
Did you look at rings together?
Yes, my fiance and I talked a lot about getting engaged because there is a bit of an age difference between he and I. I also am very picky and have been dreaming about my engagement ring since I was a little girl. Not to mention my finger is tiny, so tiny that stored hardly carry them in my size and considering that I did not want to wait to get it sized, we went to look together. We went to three stores before I found my perfect ring but when we saw it we knew.

Do you like your ring? Did you from the beginning?...and be honest!
I absolutley love it it is perfect. However, I am not loving the idea of having to have a solid wedding band, and I can't find many other types that look good with my solitaire diamond.
How often do you wear your rings?
Everyday, I only take it of to sleep and shower.


Do you clean your rings?
Not nearly enough. I need to start cleaning it more.

What went through your mind the very first time you saw your ring?
"Oh my effing god"
 xoxo.
