A little bit about me!

As Em said earlier this week, one reason we created this blog is to connect with others, but so far, you don't really know that much about us. Below are 50 facts about myself that'll give you a little bit more insight into who I am! Enjoy!

1. I’m originally from North Bay. I moved to Ottawa for school and stayed because I met a guy. He’s now my fiancée, so it worked out!



2. I’m into every type of music, except metal. I just cannot get into it!

3. My absolute favourite colour of all time is orange, but my day to day favourite colour changes all the time. I’m really into pink right now!

4. I couldn’t ride a bike until I was 12, but now I’m obsessed and bike everywhere I can!

5. Baking is my greatest passion. I will find any excuse to bake, especially brownies.



6. Except for the occasional pop at a restaurant, I only drink water. Even when I was little, if I was offered a pop I would pick water instead.

7. I have three siblings, and older sister, and two younger brothers.

8. Out of all of us, I’m the only naturally chubby one.

9. I run an Ottawa area chicken finger review Instagram, under the name chickenfingerlove.

10. I’m pretty sure I’m a mermaid. I’m not even a great swimmer, I just love being in water. I’d spend my whole life in it if I could!

11. I’ve only left my home province once in all of my 27 years, and it wasn’t even to go to another province. It was to go to Honduras for a wedding.

12. I’ve been to college three times, for communications and media studies, library technician, and esthetician. I work in none of those fields, but they were great experiences!

13 My weight is something that I’ve always been insecure about, but I’m currently working to change my life on Weight Watchers! Four pounds down in the first four days!

14. I LOVE wiener dogs. I don’t have one, YET, but my fiancées family does! I’ve told him that’s how I knew he was perfect for me.

15. I’ve lived in 13 different houses in my life. My family moved around a lot when I was a kid, and as a result, I now feel restless if I’m in one house for too long. The longest I’ve lived in a single house was for 7 years in my preteen and teen years.

16. I have a coin collection. It’s mostly foreign coins, but I also collect collectible Canadian ones, and I’m working on getting all the state quarters from the United States!

17. My foot size can be as large as a ten, depending on the shoe, which is pretty big for my height, 5’ 5”.

18. My favourite makeup brand is Too Faced. I have almost all their bigger eye shadow palettes.


(Just a small part of the collection!)


19. I was in a play when I was in the 6th grade. I was a blue bird in Into The Woods Jr.! 

20. It’s super weird, but for years, I’ve been having a recurring dream where I go to Harvey’s and eat a bacon cheese dog. What does this mean?? Tell me if you know!

21. I’m pretty confident that I could eat Kraft Dinner every single day without getting sick of it.

22. I can’t drive, and every time I try, I panic and think that I won’t be able to stay in the lines.

23. If I could live anywhere, I’d live in Prince Edward Island or Vermont. No particular reason why, I just think they’re both so pretty!

24. I don’t really count myself as either a girly girl or a tomboy, and never have. I’ll happily spend a whole day outdoors hiking or biking, but not without my lipstick on! No reason not to have both!

25. I went to a French immersion school, so I can speak a bit of French, but I’m better at hearing French. Don’t try to talk about me in French, or I’ll know!

26. I can name all 31 NHL team on command, in under 3 minutes.

27. I have an addiction to Bath & Body Works shower gels. I currently have about 20.

28. I used to be terrified of roller coasters, but now I ride huge ones, no problem (except when I’m one them, when I’m yelling HOLY SHIT the whole time!).

29. I didn’t have my first kiss until four years ago, when I was 23, because I was too nervous to even talk to guys, let alone kiss them!

30. My grandma is my best friend. I had trouble making friends growing up, so I spent a lot of time with her, but even now that I have an easier time making friends, she’s still my best friend in the world!



31. I’ve worn glasses since I was 11. I can’t wear contacts because they hurt my eyes, no matter which ones I try, so it’s a good thing I look cute in glasses!

32. I have about 50 tubes of lipstick. I can never get enough.

33. I love vintage/kitschy stuff, like my lighted makeup mirror and bubble letter bathroom clock that spells out the word bath, from the 80s, and my sherry glasses, which were a wedding present to my grandparents in 1960.

34. I have clinical depression, which I currently fight with a combination of physical activity, vitamin D, and talking to others about it. I’ve been on and off medication for it though.

35. When I was little, I wanted to be a model, and I still aspire to walk in a fashion show some day.

36. I LOVE HomeSense. My fiancée knows the absolute best way to cheer me up is to take me there for a walk around.

37. When I was about 13-14, I had insomnia, stemming from the fact that I was sure that if I went to sleep, either I wouldn’t wake up, or I’d find out someone I love had died in the night. Once I got over that fear, it still took another year for me to sleep properly.

38. I once went backpacking in Algonquin Park, when I was in the 6th grade, with my family. It felt like an amazing accomplishment to carry all my gear on my back for miles. I’d love to do it again.

39. Weddings are one of my favourite thing. I love going to them, planning them, watching tv shows about them, talking about them. I’m currently planning my own, and I couldn’t be more excited!!

40. My favourite movie is Stand By Me. I watched it for the first time in grade 10 religion class, and now I’ve seen it probably 50-60 times since. I even have a copy autographed by two of the stars!



41. I’m scared of the dark, and things that go bump in the night. I sleep with a fan on to block out night sounds.

42. Worms are my absolute worst fear. I know it’s crazy, but they freak me out so bad! I can’t even look down at the sidewalk when it’s raining because I don’t want to see them.

43. I’m not usually too into sports but I love the Olympics. I can’t wait for the next ones! My favourite Olympic sports are figure skating, bobsledding, and hockey.

44. I love being Canadian. There’s nowhere I’d rather be from!

45. My cousin was the premier of Quebec in the 1930s.

46. I have a niece and five nephews, ranging from one month to nine years old.

47. I was once in a car crash that totalled my parents car, when I was three. I’d wanted to sit in the front seat that night, and if my mom had said yes, I probably wouldn’t be alive right now.

48. I’ve made a few cooking tutorials on YouTube, under the name chrislovescooking. I haven’t made one in a year because my camera woman now works weekends, but I’d like to get back into it!

49. I love to read, and will even read shampoo bottles and other stuff that doesn’t interest me or have an relevance for me, just because I love reading so much.

50. I’m not scared to die, but I am scared to not live. I’ve always taken great relish in discovering new foods, activities, friends and places, and I’m scared of the day that’ll end.
