30 Things You May Not Know About Me:

1)  I’m from South Carolina and my whole family is there

2) People hear my accent and always guess Georgia or Tennessee

3) I have met Saint Teresa (back then, she was called Mother Teresa)

4) She was on the same plane as my high school orchestra traveling from NYC to Rome

5) She gave me a sterling silver charm of Mary and blessed me in the Rome airport.  To this day, it is one of the most special things that has ever happened to me, even though I’m not Catholic.  Funny story I’ll share on IG today when I ran into some nuns wearing the said necklace

6) I played the violin in high school, and only kept up with it so I could go to Europe.  I quit right after, but sooo wish I could still play!

7) I hardly ever turn on the tv.  I think I literally turned it on once in the last month

8) When I really get into a show, I will binge watch it.  It’s all or nothing when it comes to that ha!

9) I love going to the movies and the Cinébistro is one of my favorite things to do!

10) I have worked for Nordstrom for 15 years this fall.  I have been a salesperson, department manager and now a personal stylist for the last 8 years

11) I love my job so much!  It honestly feels like I get to hang with my girlfriends and shop all day.  Since I’ve been in this store for 10 of the 15 years, I have met some really really incredible customers, friends, and customers that have turned into lifelong friends

12) I thrive on the relationships in my life and hold all of my loved ones very near to my heart.  I am seriously obsessedddd with the peeps in my life!

13) I am one of those people that you either know everything about me or nothing at all

14) I was with someone for 12 years and married for 4.  Divorce was the most difficult thing I’ve everrrr been through.  We are still on good terms and I love him and his family dearly

15) My sweet tooth has to be the biggest one on the planet!

16) Some of my favorites are my mom’s homemade german chocolate cake, red velvet cupcakes (only with cream cheese icing lol!), Baskin Robbins Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream, & Sour Patch Strawberry’s in the freezer.  I’m weird, I know!

17) I am also a MAJ foodie!  I either eat super clean or I go all out.  There is no in between. Gimme any foods with sauce and I’m a happy girl ha!  I’ll always request extra sauce and my friends give me the hardest time!

18) Goat cheese and cilantro are 2 things I hate…with a passion

19) I am a Libra, and yes I totally believe in it.  I am all about having balance in my life and can’t function without it ha!

20) My friends are mainly Cancers & Scorpios

21) I have a Caique parrot named Tiki, and she’s almost 2.  She will live to be about 40 and she is the happiest bird.  She hops around like a bunny rabbit (also on command) and it makes me laugh every time

22) I am obsessed with animals and could have a monkey, chinchilla, one million pugs & frenchies, a pig, goats, seriously anything!

23) Except cats.  They’re okay lol, but I am a dog lover at heart!

24) I love working out!  With my foot injury, I haven’t been able to do as much lately and it’s been killing me

25) I only drink water for the most part.  I haven’t had a soda in years, and don’t drink drinks that are sweet at all.  They kill my stomach, but I can handle a piece of cake like nobody else lol!

26) Ok y’all, I’m not that boring!  I love a good pinot noir (always have Meomi at my house), a glass of champagne or a vodka soda

27) I wish I had kept up with Spanish.  My best friend speaks it and he teaches me things every day.  One day, I’ll be fluent!

28) I am in my thirties.  My 20 year high school reunion is this year, and I can’t believe it.  Time goes by so fast y’all!

29) Both of my parents look young, and I’m so thankful I inherited their “young genes”.

30) I hated it when I was younger but love it now!

31) You made it to the end and must know me pretty well by now 🙂

Thank you all for following along and hanging with me through this little life of mine!  xoxo, Christian
