Get to Know Me!

Hello friends! 

Whether you’re reading this blog as it is just starting out, or you’re just itching to know a little more about me, welcome! 

I hope by the end of this, you know a little bit more about who I am as a person and as a writer! Thanks for being here!
Enneagram type: 

Type 4 / Type 4 wing 5

(“The Individualist”/ “The Bohemian”)

Myers-Briggs Type: 

INFP

Are you a morning or night person?

Definitely a night person. As much as I’d love to say I can wake up at 5 am with no problem and be super productive, you’re much more likely to find me hitting snooze a million times and rolling out of bed at the last possible second.

Are you an extrovert or introvert?

I am 1,000,000% an introvert. While I love some quality time with close friends and family, I usually find myself needing weeks of alone time after a night out, and thriving when I’m hanging out at home. If you had asked me this question 10 years ago, I would say that I was an extrovert. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve lost my desire to spend all my free time in social situations and I’ve learned to truly admire the quiet time by myself.

Are you more of a tidy person or a messy one?

Again, I wish I had a different answer for this one, but I am a pretty messy person. i want to be a tidy person, but it’s just not something that comes naturally to me. whoops!

Coffee or tea?

Coffee, every day of the week. I loooove coffee. I’m pretty sure I even wrote about coffee in my site bio? Fun fact about me: It’s my dream to open up my own coffee shop someday.

Do you consider yourself a good cook?

NOPE. Somehow, no matter what the food is, even if I follow the recipe word for word, I will mess it up. I am capable of making one thing really well, and that is homemade cinnamon rolls. That is literally it. Everything else, I’ll leave to my husband to take care of.

Do you enjoy DIY or crafts?

I LOVE DIYs! If you know me well, you know that I commonly say would much rather build something myself than buy it new. I love building things and making projects for my home. I hope to have an entire section of this blog someday that highlights my ongoing DIY projects.

Do you have any piercings or tattoos?

Not yet. But I have a list of tattoos I’d like to get. I’m a fan of the tiny tattoos that have a lot of meaning behind them.

Do you have children?

Nope, not yet!

Do you have pets?

Sure do. I absolutly LOVE dogs and would have a million if I could, but right now I have two doggos. Finnigan is a Saint Bernard and Archie is a Great Pyrenees mix. I love them so so much. they really are my whole world.

Do you prefer the beach or the mountains?

Uuuusually mountains. I have my days when all I’d give anything to be on the beach, But I’d say 85% of the time, I’d prefer a remote cabin in the mountains over a beach vacation.

Do you speak any different languages?

No, not really. I speak a little bit of Spanish and French, but I’m far from fluent at this point. I would love to learn multiple languages as I travel!

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

Hmmmm.. probably New Zealand. I’m not sure why, but I’ve always wanted to move there. it’s such a breathtaking country, and the culture seems like something i’d really enjoy being a part of.

What movie have you watched repeatedly?

The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It is my all-time favorite movie. the soundtrack, the cast, and the story behind it, i love it all. It’s one of the only movies I can laugh and cry to every. single. time.

What’s your current obsession?

Doing puzzles. I find it so therapeutic. I have probably spent waaay too much money on puzzles this year, but hey, self-care is priceless, right?!

What’s your favorite animal?

Sharks. Specifically tiger sharks. I think sharks are the most misunderstood creatures and get a really bad rap.

What’s your favorite drink?

Sweet tea. I love it, I’m addicted to it. That’s all there is to it.

What’s your favorite restaurant?

Chick-fil-a.

What’s your favorite season?

Autumn. the crispness in the air, the beautiful colors, the cozy warm beverages, the outfits, all of it. The only thing I don’t like about autumn is that winter comes right after it.

What’s your favorite TV series?

The Office, hands down. i can’t even begin to count how many times i’ve watched the series through. if you haven’t watched it yet- go do it now.

p.s. parks and rec- a verrrry close second.

What’s your favorite thing to have for breakfast?

I recently tried chia pudding for the first time, so that has been my go-to every morning. I make it using oat milk, then I add strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and dark chocolate chips on top. It’s soooo good.

Would you rather live in a rural or urban area? 

Rural for sure. I can see myself living in a city for maybe a few years, but I love the idea of living somewhere where I can’t see my neighbors. My husband and I would like to eventually buy an old farmhouse on a big piece of land.

What are your life goals?

I have a few. First and foremost, I want to work for myself. I’d love this blog to take off and become my full-time job. I love writing and sharing my experiences with others, and I hope that I can make a career out of this.

Second, I want to open up a coffee shop at some point. This probably won’t happen for several years, but it’s definitely a top goal. I’d also like to travel as much as possible. I love travel and hope to spend a good chunk of my life exploring the planet.

There ya have it! I really enjoyed this, and I hope you enjoyed reading it and that it helped you get to know me a little bit more!
