Good morning!!! Tomorrow is FRIDAY and I couldn’t be more exited! We have a fun event this weekend and we get to dress up – which doesn’t happen often around here so we are pretty stoked! Even Ryan went out and bought a new pair of suspenders! I was so proud of him. Anyone who knows my husband knows he is a mans man and I am pretty sure this is the first time he has bought a clothing item for himself other than swim trunks or workout shorts since we got married!!
Today’s valentines look is a little sassier than most. I typically keep things pretty modest, but sometimes you just need to sass it up for your hubs for a date night! You could always wear a black leather jacket over this top to make it more modest as well!
As most of you know, I turned 31 years old on Monday. So, I have decided to share 31 random facts about me to let you get to know me a little better. Another way to get to know me better is also through insta stories, I always keep IS extremely honest, fun and light hearted!
31 Things About Me
- I have always wanted a lot of kids. I actually always said I wanted 4 kids, but I think we are actually done with 3.
- I am extremely terrified and creeped out by frogs.
- I can not eat anything in the morning until I have had two cups of coffee with one stevia and peppermint mocha creamer.
- I hate working out – but I am trying really hard to get back into shape for summer. Still won’t do cardio tho!
- The first thing I look at on someone is their teeth. I think teeth tells a lot about a person.
- I am a perfectionist to a fault when it comes to myself.
- I am addicted to raw cookie dough.
- I prefer online shopping over in store shopping.
- Unpainted toenails on women gross me out.
- I do not go to bed with makeup on – ever!
- I was supposed to be on the Bachelor in 2010 but canceled it because I met Ryan.
- I was asked to go on Survivor, did all of my interviews and everything in 2009 and canceled it because I hate frogs and won’t eat bugs. Actually, camping in general sounds awful!
- I’m not proud but I am really bad about holding grudges – yet, I do not harp on them. I typically just remove myself from the situation and don’t think about it again.
- I’m a stomach sleeper and like to shove my face into my pillow. (Not so great for wrinkles, I know..lol)
- I LOVE cooked green veggies. I do not feel like a meal is complete without something green.
- I have been cutting and coloring my own hair for 5 years. I was a stylist, colorist, artistic director for Oribe and network educator Bumble & Bumble for 6-7 years before having Braydon.
- I do not like to watch movies.
- I like to see the gulf every single day, even if its just for a few seconds.
- I am a huge foodie and I LOVE going out to eat.
- We got married in Charleston, South Carolina.
- I grew up in Hickory, NC then moved to Charlotte for one year, then Chapel Hill for a year and a half and Raleigh for 6 years.
- I was born in Kenner, Louisiana.
- Summer is if favorite time of year. I love drinking cold wine or beer on our back deck.
- I would much rather hang out with friends at one of our houses than out somewhere.
- I am extremely giving and love to share. I love to give my family and friends things, maybe because I also love receiving things? haha
- At night, I prefer a dim house with light music and candles lit vs. TV and bright lights any day.
- I LOVE my alone time.
- I am ALWAYS down for a spa day. I LOVE getting facials and massages! (Doesn’t every girl?)
- I do not watch the news, I rely on my husband to tell me what’s going on in the world. (He’s addicted to the news!)
- I had never had a cavity before until I went to the dentist this past week and found out I am getting my first one!!! Apparently, its common after having children.
- I hate cold weather, I would rather be sweating to death any day! Which is why I haven’t ever been to NYFW in February!

Girl!!! My husband grew up in CA and he has fallen in love with the south so I totally understand! I love Winston-Salem!!!!
29 & 30 – same here!!
SO many people are saying that about cavities! So crazy!
I had never had a cavity either til this last time at the dentist..he said the same thing about kiddos. Good thing they are cute! 😍 so many other similarities. Love your blog and your insta!! Xo
These kids are killing our bodies..hahaha so so worth it tho! You are right! Thanks so much babe!
We have a lot of similarities!! The teeth one was funny because it’s always what I notice first!! I’ve never had a cavity, I’m 32. I live in Illinois and I HATE the cold! One thing I cannot do is sleep on my stomach, I feel weird and uncomfortable! Thanks for sharing!
Haha! I can’t sleep on my back – same thing, I feel vulnerable on my back for some reason! I can’t believe you live in IL and hate the cold!!! Gotta move down south girl!
I love reading facts about people I follow on IG. I live in Baton Rouge & my all time biggest pet peeve is unpolished toenails!!! That’s so interesting about The Bachelor.
Ah! My parents lived in Baton Rouge before they had me! and girl! Unpolished toes are so gross! haha
I also have a frog phobia!! Freak me out!! My husband had to piggy back ride me to our house because there was one in our driveway! Where do you live now? I’m from California and moved to mooresville nc 7 years ago.
I love following your blog and instastories! I am a fairly new follower , so I was totally surpised when I read that you’re originally from Kenner. I’m from New Orleans. We live in Covington now which is about 30 mins north of New Orleans. My in laws live in mobile, alabama and visit 30A pretty often. Love it over there!! It’s so beautiful. Hope to make it out that way in March! I read one of your recent blog posts about 30A and I’m excited to try some of the restaurants that were listed on there. 😊
