Twenty Things About Me
So often I come across these blogs with entries or posts of people/businesses who like to really share unique things about themselves and it got me thinking... why wouldn't I reveal a few things about myself that are quite unknown to a lot of people. I guess these are great icebreakers and really give you an idea of what a person is really like or about. Okay, here's twenty things about me.
1. I love animals. I'm a dog person, mostly. My husband and I own a mini wiener dog (Dachshund) named Figaro. She's 1.5 yrs old so still a puppy. She's the BEST little dog ever. We also have two cats, Trio and Danko.
2. I recently got married last October 2014 to my wonderful husband, Elliot.
3. I love to cook. It's definitely a passion of mine. Food Network is my favourite channel and I'm sometimes on Pinterest finding new recipes.
4. My favourite color is orange.
5. I've never dyed my hair. Yes, this is my natural hair color! 100%
6. I used to be in ballet.
7. My favourite food is Indian. The spicier, the better.
8. I am quite health conscious. I've been completely off of refined sugars and white flours for nearly five years now. It started out to lose weight, which I did lose 60 pounds but kept embracing this way of eating. I never deprive myself and eat only natural fruits, veggies, proteins and fats. It's been an amazing journey and I've gained so much energy and control as to what I put in my mouth. It's a lifestyle, for sure. I now am off of most processed foods as well. It's taken my tastebuds to a whole new level. You appreciate food more and how to prepare and cook it.
9. Not only do I sing, I play guitar, piano and drums. I also am a songwriter.
10. I am thirty years young.
11. My eyes are green.
12. I love to travel. I like culture and experiencing new things. I've been to quite a few places. Spain, France, Italy, Ireland, Scotland and England to name a few. Also, most of the Caribbean Islands, Mexico, USA and Canada.
13. My favourite movie is "Funny Face". A musical starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. I've probably seen 50 times.
14. I'm actually quite shy. I've always been quiet and introverted. Even though I love to be in the spotlight on stage, among an audience singing, in real life I am very much into just staying home and doing art, making crafts and writing music. I'm not much of a party animal.
15. The place I'd like to visit next would be Morocco.
16. Performing on stage is my favourite thing to do.
17. I have two brothers. I am the middle child.
18. I am an artist. I like to draw and sketch fashion. I've been drawing fashion since I was 8 years old. I use pencil and a sketchpad and sometimes I use watercolour paint.
19. I'm a highly motivated person. And it keeps me very busy. I like to come up with ideas and make them come to life. I guess I've always been an entrepreneur.
20. Being an entrepreneur, I'm super fascinated with marketing. Marketing ideas, tactics and how really, from the start, the whole world runs on how we market products, how trends start, and how all other things come into our existence and in our networks just by creating buzz in things. The art of social media is amazing to me. I read a lot on this stuff, watch a lot of videos and listen to podcasts on the subject and it really gets me pumped for what I can try to accomplish next.
Thanks for reading my "Twenty Things About Me". I tend to be a very busy person, being a new wife, running my own singing instructing business, working as a beauty advisor for Elizabeth Arden Canada, and rockin' out in two bands, it can get tough posting and continuously updating but I'll do my best. Until next time, remember to keep focusing on your goals and trying to achieve them. Find that passion within and realize you're worth it! Keep singing and practising, you'll only get better and better. Sing A Song That's Yours.
Musically yours,
Bridge
