I wanted to share with you some fun facts about me, some things I’ve learned, and some things maybe you didn’t know about me. If any of this sounds familiar let me know in the comments, I love learning about all of you too <3
- I’m Chamorro and Irish
- Foot stuff bother me, let me explain: stepping into water with socks on. Equally annoying is when my sock slips off my foot deep inside my shoe..ugh Uggs. Or when the bottom of my foot itches … or stepping on a lego (which I haven’t had to do in a while but still) a lot of foot stuff apparently
- I play with my food. Move it around with my spoon, nibble chocolate off my candy bars before eating the actual candy bar, flatten See’s lollipops with my teeth..very weird things happen with food and I
- I only eat with spoons. Forks are just so annoying, all the food falls off!
- I hate salads. I’ll eat them but like, they have to be piled with not good stuff
- I was a teen mom. 16 when I had Corriney but somehow we made it out okay
- I THINK I want more babies. That’s a really hard one, ask me again tomorrow
- I’m a master at the smile mask and my coping skills include shielding, running, and screaming. Sounds like a horror film
- I never had animals growing up but I LOOOVE animals. We have two fur babies, Luna and Ace and I can’t live without them
- I spend money on skincare over anything else
- I live for comfort so 90% of the time I’m in sweats or athleisure attire
- Instagram displays only 1% of my actual life and how I feel
- Champagne and tequila are my drinks of choice
- I love country music
- I’m an Army brat, my dad was a Drill Sergeant for 23 years and we moved. A lot
- My favorite color is royal blue. And black
- I get eyelash extensions every 2 weeks but that’s the only beauty maintenance I have, contrary to people thinking I’ve ever gotten my lips done or face filled, I have not. If I ever do you’ll be the first to know I’m an open book about those things
- I got breast augmentation almost 13 years ago. For me, myself, and I. I nursed Corrine at age 16 for 10 months so having saggy boobs at 18 was no fun for me personally. I love them now
- I’ve only ever cut 3 people out of my life. 2 exes and a friend. It takes a lot for me to not want to be around you, if I stop talking to you it’s because you’re toxic
- I have a lot of friend groups but very few close friends that I see and talk to regularly. It took me a minute to realize that your friend circles are ever changing, seasons change and people change. It’s okay, it’s quality or quantity. It’s not time that we’re limited on, time is infinite. It’s our energy we must protect- who we give it to, what we spend it on, where we place it. Our energy is limited and we have to guard it. I read that somewhere and it really landed on me. If you know where please let me know so I can credit them. I used to give my energy to everyone and all of it. I learned
- I’m not a needy friend or partner, but when I need your attention I need it now. I’m not patient just ask Joe
- I’m pretty independent but I also feel my best when I’m around others. And I love to make people laugh
- I live for helping others, I can be captain save-a-ho at times so I’ve had to learn when someone just needs a lil boosting and when someone has to save themselves, but I love being a good friend and I really try to be
- Fitness has become such a wonderful part of my daily life that I look forward to empowering other women because they’re all so damn strong inside and out
- I love to cook but I really LOVE to bake
- I did a lot of drugs when I was younger and I’m happy that I can be open and honest about those things when Corrine comes to me with questions
- When I was younger we had a pet pig named Pepper, he ran away and bit a horse and was never heard from again
- I’m a control freak and I’m working on that, remember that whole energy thing? Well I try not to give my energy away to things out of my control
- I’m boarder line hoarder status over here with all these clothes and makeup products. I need Marie Kondo
- Joe is the love of my life. He’s also working beside me and I want to squeeze his face but I’ll let him work
- I’m most proud to be Corrine’s mom. She and I have really been through some shit together and she’s grown into the most grounded, genuine, loving, and most wonderful young lady and I’m beyond honored to be her mama
- She and I have definitely slept in our car before. Ah yes, those days sucked
- I fed Corrine fast food (what’s up dollar menu) for almost a year because it was all I could afford one year when she was little and I ran from a repo company for almost a year during that time too. Talk about stressful
- I’ve learned that abusive relationships don’t start abusive. At least it didn’t for me, it started with a shove and some name calling. I’d like to talk about that more with you some day
- I’ve experienced that being a parent requires you to be selfless and when put in certain circumstances you’ll ensure their happiness and safety above your own and that will drive you. My love for Corrine has made me the most powerful tool when it comes to making sure she’s safe and happy
- No one is perfect, doesn’t that just sound boring?
- I’m still learning every day and damn I need to read more
That’s all I’ve got for now, thank you for following along in all that, it felt therapeutic! I enjoy sharing with you but I also really love learning about each of you so tell me some fun facts about yourself or some lessons you’ve learned <3
