20 Facts About Me!

Yay! First blog post EVER!!!

I figured since I'm still trying to figure out this whole blogging thing, I'd do the 20 Facts About Me tag that's been going around on Instagram lately.

Welp, here goes!

1   I’m 23 & a very proud Aries! (March 22^nd)

2   I have 3 tattoos; my nickname ‘Minnie Mac’ on my right shoulder blade, a tribal Aries symbol on the nape of my neck (told you I’m proud lol) and a paw print with ‘Smokey’ above it on my inner left ankle

3   I'm strawberry blonde but I wish I was a full-fledged redhead (I was born with red hair but it lightened as I got older). That being the case, I want a redheaded baby xD

4   I have dual citizenship. I’m originally from southern California. My dad still lives there & as much as I miss him & the rest of my awesome families (it’s complicated lol), I couldn’t move back. My life is here in Canada <3

5   I’m the elder of two kids. I have a younger brother, Nathan <3

6   On that same note, I also have an awesome step-brother, Nick (and sister-in-law, Kara) & an amazing step-sister, Brooke (and brother-in-law, Seth). I also have 5 nephews & a niece whom I've yet to meet

7   I’ve always enjoyed painting my nails, but I didn’t really get into nail care/nail art/the nail community until August 2012. I’m so thrilled to be a part of this amazing community & can’t wait to see what’s in store :D

8   For my 1^st birthday, against my parents’ wishes, my grandmother bought me a pony. His name was Coconut and he was a retired circus pony

9   I love to read!! My absolute favourite author is the one and only Stephen King. Right now, I’m waiting for A Dance with Dragons, book 5 of A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) to come out in paperback so I can add it to my collection

10   Corynn @muckingfusser was the first nail account I started following. She is the friggin’ QUEEN of water marble! *bows down* I’ve had a crush on her nails since day 1

11   I am an indie virgin. I see all these awesome polishes made by these amazing ladies but then I remember that I’m broke :( One day I’ll get my hands on all those pretty polishes

12   I’ve had all sorts of pets growing up; cats, dogs, birds, fish, iguanas, rats, a guinea pig & a pony. I have two cats, Tigger & Meep <3 When I eventually get a dog, I want a Bernese mountain dog <3

13   Oh, look.. My lucky number! I was supposed to be born on the 13^th of March but I was 9 days late. I guess I was comfy haha

14   I collect pop tabs from Monster & Rockstar energy drinks. When I counted them a year ago, I had 928. I haven’t counted in a year or so, but I’d guess that I have at least another 150 that need to be counted. Also, it isn’t just me drinking them, I get my friends to save their pop tabs for me, too :P

15   If I could be fluent in any language, I’d choose German. It’s all my friend Alena’s fault <3 I think it’s such a beautiful language

16   Purple is my absolute favourite colour!! Why? Because it’s only the best colour EVER!!!

17   I’m what people refer to as a Grammar Nazi. The correct term, however, would be grammatically correct Nazi lmao. I notice mistakes EVERYWHERE & have to hold myself back from correcting them

18   I have a serious knack for remembering lyrics. It’s not that I learn them especially fast or anything, but once I’ve memorized them it’s usually for good haha

19   My taste in music is extremely eclectic. For instance, my two favourite artists are Eminem & The Stray Cats. On a similar note, I adore musicals! <3

20   Last but not least, after smoking for 9 years, I have finally quit once & for all!! July 19^th is my quit date :D

So there you have it, folks! 20 random facts all about moi! Now, once I figure this whole thing out then I'll get some nail related posts up :) Until then, ta ta for now!
