Feeling 22…It’s My Birthday!

I don’t know about you but I’m feeling 22!! Today is my birthday! I am so excited that God has blessed me with another year of love, friendship, and prosperity. I have had so many amazing opportunities and experiences over the last year. Today, in celebration of turning another year older, I’m sharing 22 things you may not know about me!

1. I come from a very large family. On my mother’s side, I am the oldest of 16 grandchildren.
2. I’ve always wanted to move to New York. I want to live there for at least one year out of my life.
3. My favorite snack is french fries and ice cream. Together! And before you ask yes I dip the fries in the ice cream!

4. I started my own jewelry business in the eighth grade and was featured in the local newspaper.

5. Dance is literally life. I’ve been dancing since the age of 5. My favorite style is contemporary but I also do hip hop and jazz.

6. My favorite book is Pride and Prejudice.

7. My favorite movie is Love Jones. (Still waiting for my Darius Lovehall!)

8. In a past life, I was an interior designer.

9. UCLA was never my college choice. My mom made me apply. I didn’t want to stay in LA. (So happy God had other plans!)

10. I cry when I get angry. If I’m dead silent when angry, RUN!!

11. I truly believe that sleep is a cure for all of life’s troubles.

12. I have designed 3 fashion collections that I hope to release one day.

13. I didn’t start wearing makeup until college.

14. My favorite type of food is Mexican food. I could eat it all day, every day.

15. I’m obsessed with anything Disney. I know the lyrics to almost every Disney song and even have a Disney Pandora station. Most people go to Vegas for their 21st birthday. I went to Disneyland!

16. I used to play softball and golf. I was horrible at softball but I loved playing. I can drive you right out of your socks in golf! Long game on point!

17. I didn’t get my driver’s license until I turned 20. I retook my test three times.

18. I love to travel. My favorite place I’ve been so far is Italy.

19. I used to get bullied in middle school and had low self-esteem. One of the reasons I started this blog is to encourage others to find the beauty in themselves and live their best life.

20. I have a very vivid imagination so scary movies are a definite NO-GO for me. I will literally have nightmares for a week.

21. I bite my nails. I try not to but I can’t help it.

22. I like to sing and dance down the aisles of grocery stores.
