1. i have a major case of wanderlust. i want to travel often and see everything! i would love to take a true solo vacation somewhere, but have yet to plan it. currently on the docket: Florida in a week, Italy in 7 months!
2. at any given time, i have at least 5 chap sticks/lip balms in my purse.
3. on that note, i freak out when my lips are dry!
4. i consider myself a wino - i LOVE red wine (except merlot) and champagne. i have a wine club membership to a fabulous winery in napa valley (Hall Wines) and currently i have 16 bottles of wine at home... (hey, a lot of them were gifts!)
5. i love crafting and DIY. arts and crafts, shower decorations, home decorations; you name it, i will try it.
6. i have high aspirations... blogging, photography, something in the medical field. i find it hard to get started though.
7. my absolute ideal job: a travel photographer (or blogger). combining my love for traveling with my love for photography would just be a dream. or a traveling wedding photographer - because, really, i love those, too.
8. i have a mild obsession with pinterest. seriously. (follow me!) i am constantly pinning, looking for inspiration, and organizing my boards!
9. i don't watch a lot of movies. when i do, i cry. almost every time. but when the holidays come around, i love to watch some holiday movies. home alone happens almost daily. and i love to quote it.
10. my career is digital marketing. i love social media (primarily pinterest and instagram) and staying up on trends. i love crazy memes (especially "grumpy cat" and "go home ___ you're drunk!") and thanks to the internet, i also love unicorns and alpacas.
11. my favorite shows of all time: saved by the bell, friends, gilmore girls, full house, law & order SVU, daria, brothers and sisters, sex and the city. and golden girls.
12. i love spicy food. I put hot sauce or red pepper flakes on just about anything!
13. i hate halloween. (i don't dress up, i dont go to parties, i don't pass go and i don't collect $200.) what i do love is st. patty's day! definitely my favorite holiday.
14. among my favorite hobbies; going to brunch. when i lived in chicago, it was a rare sunday that i didn't have brunch plans with someone -- either the regulars or to catch up with friends i hadn't seen in awhile. the brunch scene in detroit is lackluster and people are not as quick to make brunch plans. sad.
15. i also love trying new restaurants. don't get me wrong, i definitely love my good ole standbys, but i have a running list of places to try in my phone when we have extra time and feeling like trying something new!
16. i love wearing scarves. both functional or for fashion.. i usually have one on or with me!
17. i hate games. both psychological games and actual games. a few exceptions are card games and words with friends. and with the right crowd, heads up.
18. i love working out, trying new workouts (spinning, kickboxing, barre, etc.) i just need to do it more. i love it when im there (usually) and i feel amazing afterwards, but sometimes getting there is tricky. i can think of any excuse not to go. ("i'm tired." "i'm hungry". "it's raining". "i need to grocery shop". "i have a headache". "i'm sore". "i need to let my food digest". "my horoscope advised me to lay low this month". ....etc)
19. i love music and i love creating new spotify playlists. my favorite kind of music is country.
20. i love tailgating for football games! well any games really. i don't need to go into the game but i love tailgating in general! grilling, fun tasty food and treats, spiked apple cider in the fall. you just can't beat it!
