Five Fun Facts About Me!

Five Fun Facts About Me!

Happy Friday friends! I thought I'd change it up a bit today and participate in the popular #fridayintroductions hashtag on social media. I decided to put it up on the blog instead of Instagram that way more people can see it when they visit the shop! 

So let's get started!

Fun Fact #1: I live an (almost fully) paleo lifestyle.
First off, if you haven’t heard of paleo it is basically a lifestyle where you do not eat grains, dairy, legumes, processed sugar, and soy. I always say I’m like 95% Paleo because I do indulge in the occasional cocktail/wine and some hummus! Plus there is only so much you can control at restaurants if you like to eat out.

I have been paleo for over two years now! I decided to eat paleo after my first round of Whole30 when I realized I had an intolerance to gluten and dairy. I actually really enjoy being paleo and it's crazy to see how much my taste buds have changed since cutting out all the processed food. 

Fun Fact #2: I love scary movies
Suspense, Thriller, Horror... all the genres that relate to that I love them. If I am not catching up on TV shows reading a book then I'm looking for a new scary movie to watch (or show... anyone else obsessed with American Horror Story?)

Fun Fact #3: Animal Lover
I have always loved animals and always will. Growing up I had a cat most of my life (even though I am actually allergic to them) and now my husband and I have three dogs and an outdoor cat (he would go crazy living inside). A couple years ago, a friend of mine and I had even started our own 5k charity walk (with your dogs) called Tails & Trails that we had locally to support our local animal shelter. We organized it for a couple years and loved every bit of it!


Our Pets: Cooper, Ranger, Bowie & Slider

Fun Fact #4: Bookworm
I love to read! I always have a book on me (typically downloaded to my phone nowadays) so that I can read in my spare time. Just like my love for scary movies I love a good thriller book. I try and list all the books I have read or am currently reading on my Goodreads account. You can check it out or leave a comment below to recommend any good books you have read lately.

Fun Fact #5: Eclectic Taste in Music
I listen to music probably 90% of the day. I love all genres of music and when I say all I mean ALL. I've got everything from songs from the 50s all the way to Cardi B. I'm not even going to link my Spotify playlists because they are so random! I commute to my full-time job every day so I get plenty of listening time in plus I will have it on as background noise while I work.

Party Planning: Golf party for your kids

I know what you are thinking… it’s almost fall, why is she posting about a golf party?! Well, this particular golf invitation has been quite popular lately and if you live in an area where fall just means a little cooler weather (like I do) then you know that golf is an all-year-round sport! As I said my golf (hole-in-one) party invitation has been very popular lately and is such an adorable theme for your kids and for even the adult golfers in your life (when researching for this post I saw a lot of adult themed golf parties & retirement golf parties)!
Check out the invitation here:
Growing up in a family filled with golfers, this is such a special theme to me. I think there are so many fun ideas to make your golf party a success and after doing some research I found some of the cutest ideas on Pinterest! Check out some ideas here:

If you follow me on social media then you have seen my posts on my Hurricane Harvey fundraiser. This is a new product that will be released soon in the holiday collection but launched it for this week to raise funds to donate to the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund. All the net proceeds (which equals $5/mug) will be donated to the fund. Click here to purchase one and donate to a very much needed cause!
