Have you ever picked up a trashy celeb magazine? Don’t even lie, you know you have. Me, on the other hand, I read them when I go to my mom’s because she enjoys spending money on them every week. I like the news without the hefty price tag of buying four different magazines each week.
I don’t know what magazine it is, but one of them always has a celebrity with “25 things” you don’t know about them. While I am no celebrity, I thought it would be fun to do.
Oh, and if you already knew some of this, just pretend like you didn’t.
- My favorite color is purple, despite the fact many other think my favorite color is pink.
- I lose/break sunglasses like it is my job, so I only buy ones that are less than $15.
- When I was younger, my mom would not let me cut my hair short until I was in middle school.
- Speaking of being younger, I was not allowed to watch TV during the school week until I was in high school.
- I’m not a cute pajamas kind of girl — I wear comfy shorts/sweatpants and a t-shirt.
- I throw everything away. I hate clutter.
- I can’t sleep when I am hot, but I also can’t sleep with the fan on — the wind drives me crazy.
- I could eat a sweet potato every day and be happy.
- I will wake up early, but only with the promise of a nap later in the day.
- My mom was the first mom to have Facebook — and thus she remained on my “limited profile” list for about two years. Sorry Mom.
- I like quiet in the morning — if things are loud too quickly, I freak out.
- I love the beach, but hate the sand.
- I never want to go camping… ever.
- I make the bed every morning. It makes the room look put together.
- I don’t really read magazines, I skim them.
- I used to chew on my straws when I was younger.
- I am in bed every night by 9:30 — party animal.
- I am a Target girl — I can’t leave that store without spending at least $50.
- The thing I miss the most about going GF is chewy French bread made with white flour. It can’t be beat.
- I once dropped my cell phone down a 7 story trash chute. That was fun.
Annndddd.. there’s only going to be 20 because this is really hard to do!
Question: Tell me 1 thing I don’t know about you (or more!!).

i’m in total agreement about the sweet potato thing, i don’t get why i’m so pale as opposed to being an oompa loompa
most people don’t know that i wear a retainer at night several times a week, it’s green and purple with sparkles. i have super stylish mouth gear
Wow! I feel like you are my long lost twin. I agree on almost every fact?
Something about me?
I have never actually eaten or tried mushrooms because the way they look gross me out.
I skim magazines too! And I never want to go camping- that just sounds like pure misery. Something you don’t know about me- I have a really hard time staying up late. A lot of my friends in college got mad at me because I found it hard to go out partying with them. I just get miserable and cranky staying up super late.
MY FAKE RAY-BANS JUST BROKE!!!! I was so pissed. Good thing I got them for ten bucks in NYC.
We are pajama twins, I think if I got cute pajamas I would make them not as cute by being the sea monster I am when I wake up in the morning.
Slash last night Padre turned off the A/C and it was 78 in hurr..I wanted to kill everyone so I turned it down when he fell asleep. Much betta.
So long story short, if our men want to go camping, we can have a girls’ night at the spa…kaycool.
Fun fact: I ate cookies for dinner last night. Oh and I was once told “I Love You” by an old elementary school classmate over instant messaging. Those were the days.
My mom would never let me cut my hair either!! I had long hair until I was in high school before I finally cut it short! I’ve also never dyed my hair….mom liked the color it was when I was younger so she’d never let me do it! Now I’m just not brave enough to dye it!
Interesting. And yes… magazines are not made for reading. If they were, the pictures wouldn’t be so darn pretty. One thing about me… hmmm… I like rainy days (just so long as there aren’t tooooo many tooooo close together.)
I love purple, hate clutter, and neeeeed quiet mornings. And I’m totally with you on the sand thing Drives. me. crazy. A random thing about me? I’ve never owned a microwave, and the concept of nuking food skeeves me out. My new place has one built-in, so I have no idea what I’m gonna do about that… use it as extra storage space, I guess.
I cant believe youre in bed by 930 every night, I always shoot for 11 that rarely happens!
So many things in common. I can’t sleep hot AND have to sleep with the covers on AND hate the fan. This might be why I don’t sleep….
Camping to me is if a fly gets in the house by accident.
Something fun about me: I was born with red hair and am still made it turned blonde. No one messes with beautiful red hair but I’m sure I will be highlighting and highlighting for the rest of my life
My About page is filled with 100 facts about me. It was a process. ha! But in pulling one off from that list…I am freakishly good at tetris.
LOVE tetris!
amizzennnnn to #11. I actually make it a point to wake up extra early in the morning before the rest of my fam so I can enjoy a little peace & quiet before the chaos ensues.
Oh! and I’ve been “camping” once (aka, tried to sleep in a tent in my backyard) and peaced out after 40 minutes.. okay, maybe it was 10 minutes.
Oh mah gosh! I love the beach but hatehatehate sand also…that gritty feeling grosses me out! I have never been on a rollercoaster OR a plane before in my life!
I never ever want to go camping either. And my bed? It’s made the instant my lazy husband finally gets out of it in the morning.
Target will always hold a special place in my heart…
I am the same as you, LOVE the beach, but hate the sand!!
I love the little surveys like this in magazines!
I totally agree about making the bed-even if the rest of the room is a bit cluttered it makes it look so much better!
Haha, we have a lot of things in common!
When I walk with people, I have to be on the left side or it just throws me off!
OH My GOODNESS I have to be on the right side!
Hahaha, we would be perfect walking partners!
My favourite colour is purple too!
Fun list! I’m exactly the same with sleeping and no one understands when I can’t sleep because it’s too hot but I cannot sleep with the fan on either…so I just toss and turn…and sweat
Love the beach but hate the sand <- SAME! I also make the bed every morning! It's an essential start to my day.
We agree on so many things. I’m not really all that surprised, however. My mom had some weird rules too. I wasn’t allowed to eat cereal that had sugar as the first of second ingredient and I wasn’t allowed to watch Gumby? My mom still doesn’t remember when that wasn’t allowed.
We weren’t allowed to watch Rugrats until I was like 9.
I would much rather sit and read all day than do anything else
I also have a tendency to lose/break sunglasses so I stick to the $5 or $10 rack at Walmart!
We have a lot of those in common: 2,5,11,12,16-18. Kinda crazy! I still chew on my straws. Drives my bf nuts. I also read magazine funny, I read them backwards. I don’t know why….
Love this post!! In agreement on most everything you said, especially the fact that Target is just about the best store ever! The shoes, the accessories, the home good, the STARBUCKS! It’s a money pit.
I have a piece of pencil lead stuck on the inside of my wedding ring finger. 2nd grade mishap. I can move it around and everything. Kinda cool and kinda gross.
I never make the bed unless I’m changing the sheets. Hunni and I have seperate blankets because he steals them so it’s hard to make the bed plus I’m just going to mess it up again in 18 hours.
I love this post…we have a few things in common. I loathe camping, I’m in bed at 9:30, my fave colour is purple, I MUST make the bed everyday. One thing my blog friends don’t know about me is that I’m a lefty!
I’m a lefty too!
You only really need to read one of those magazines every week because they all pretty much say the same thing.
The Target thing is pretty funny. My parents and I always joke how it’s impossible for us to go there without spending $50.
Ditto with the sleeping vs. hot vs. fan. Especially this time of year - can’t handle it!
I have a scar on my knee from the FIRST DAY I ever went to summer camp. Its disgusting looking…but I secretly have a strange love for it. I was 9 - and went to camp for a loooong time after that, and even became a counsellor until I was 19! I think I must have learned not to be afraid after that incident
Haha! My Aunt has a subscription to Us and you have way more exciting things to say about yourself than a lot of celebrities! But you’re a blogging celebrity so of course you’re way more interesting! I guess my fact can be that even though my name is Grace I am horribly clumsy.
I, too, have ZERO interest in ever going camping. I don’t think you could pay me enough to go. Same with cruises - zero interest. No woods, no cabins, no moving ships.
I hate clutter, but can’t seem to prevent it from happening.
I’m extremely annoying in the early early morning. Anytime we have to wake up super early (like before 5 AM) for vacation or a long drive, I’m REALLY giggly. I just can’t stop laughing. Drives my husband crazy.
Hah! I totally am the same way about waking up early… as long as I know I get a nap later I can do it. I love naps.
I love purple! The groomsmen with just have to deal with their purple vests & ties for the wedding.
Oh fun! I wanted purple, but the Husband said no way!
I love these facts! So funny, I hate sleeping in the heat but I can’t sleep with a fan either! I love sleeping in a cold room under my millions of blankets
Umm we would be friends if we met in person, I can relate to so many of these! Camping= doom and I hate the sand too… whoopsie
I feel very vulnerable if I don’t sleep with at least a sheet on…it doesn’t matter how hot it is out
I didn’t know any of this so this was great! haha loved it!
I’m in bed by 9:30 during the week too so don’t feel bad!!
Hmmm, something about me…
I can’t sleep on my back. I have the worst nightmares when I do and it’s just not comfortable for me!
Oh my goodness, I could have said practically all of these things! Particularly the one about making the bed. My boyfriend thinks I’m nuts, but I feel disheveled all day if my bed’s not made.
About me: I own 23 tie dye shirts. All homemade.
I could have guessed that - it’s in the name.
A random fact most people don’t know about me? I wore an orthopedic back brace for almost 5 years. I discreetly hid it under my clothes so no one could make fun of me in elementary and middle school!
I’m with you on hating sand. Growing up in Washington, all the beaches I went to were rocky, and that’s what I’m used to. Rocks don’t get in certain areas like sand does.
I also miss fluffy French bread, but I miss fluffy sourdough the most. I can’t find a gluten free recipe that replicates the texture.
There are about 10 things on the list I can totally relate to from Target to clutter to sleeping/fans to loving the beach but hating sand! omg me too
Something about me…hmmm…It drives me crazy spending money on things like coffee when I’m out…$3 to $4 or more for 1 cup that I can make for 11 cents at home.
It drives me crazy that I’m okay with spending $3 on a cup of coffee.
Haha, love these! I agree on so many! Annnd having been dragged on 2week camping holidays multiple times by my father, I shall tell you that you are bang on with your camping opinion. Don’t. Do. It. Awful!
Hmm…something no-one knows about me…hmm…I used to eat 5 Weetabix for breakfast every day when I was 4 years old
Most people don’t know that I’m a computer geek
I spend my days maintaining servers.
Based on all that information you shared, I believe we would get along very well. Also, I haven’t been by since you changed your blog look and I love it!
I LOVE sweet potatoes!!
Something you might not know : I could wear a skirt every day of the year, I LOVE them!
I secretly love when I get to bed at 9:30! It never happened in college because all my friends made fun of me for going to bed at 11:30 haha, but now I can finally turn in early….and I totally also never watched TV till high school (so consequently I never really watch it now!), also prefer quiet mornings, hate sand, love sweet potatoes, and can’t resist Target temptations!
Most people don’t know about me that I actually have a lot of trouble sitting through a full-length movie! I can totally commit to a one-hour tv show and that’s about it. And I’d rather watch a movie at home than go to the theater- that way I can pause it and take breaks and make tea and snacks and multitask (do my nails etc) while watching!
I’m the same way with sweet potatoes!
I also wear comfy pj’s that aren’t cute or come in sets. Oh well!
Hells yes for 9:30
I’m the same way about my mornings - I need my quiet time! And I need at least a half hour of no one talking to me.
Something about me: When I was 7, I wanted to be a zoologist. I had a huge set of encyclopedias on animals and I always recited facts about them. Major dork alert!!!
I never want to go camping again either… ugh the bugs, tents, bears… I’m cringing just thinking about it. Mine would be that I love scarves and I probably have at least 25… needless to say, I’m very excited for fall!
Haha, this is great!! I make the bed every morning too. And I also hate camping. And I also can’t go into Target without spending at least $75. Don’t worry, I totally understand you!
Love your #11 — I’m the same way, so it’s super early to rise if I want that quiet before the 4 kiddos arise.
# I love the beach, but hate the sand.
# I never want to go camping… ever.
I am the same way! My fiance has been trying to take me camping/hiking for 9 years, and I just keep coming up with excuses haha
xo
~Lori
I can’t touch my toes or do a cartwheel…
Oh and I feel the same way about Target - it’s a $$$ sucker!
I painted my fingernails EVERY week in highschool, but now I’m lucky if I do it once a month!
I went through a phase where I painted my nails every week too!
hahah your current obsessions are pretty much mine in a nutshell except swap out peaches and swap in plums and golden delicious apples!
i’m the same way in the morning. i lovee it quiet and i get aggravated if someone talks to me too much too early hahaha i need to weaaan into the day!
Ugh, I HATE clutter! I have to be careful though because sometimes I throw stuff away that I actually need later! Lol! And I’m with you on the sunglasses…all of mine come from Wal-Mart or Big Lots! Haha!
As much as I am dedicated to clean eating, I have to admit that I have a sweet spot for Pop-Tarts…especially strawberry frosted ones!
I always love this feature in the magazines.
One about me…I CAN’T STAND being inside, I feel suffocated! No matter what time of year, I get outside as much as possible and I will never turn on the AC because then I have to close the windows and that makes it worse!
I hate staying at home for a full day. I have to get out!!!!
Also I always have painted nails. I never just remove the nail polish, I always have to paint my nails immediately afterwards.
#6 = me and it drives the husband nuts!
I’ve always wanted to do this myself
And it’s US Weekly magazine…yes, I read it…(sheepishly says)
I could relate to over half of these, especially number 11. I even tell the little girl I nanny for that breakfast and morning time is also quiet time. I have to ease my way into my day.
Something about me…I only eat bread when I’m not feeling well or if I’m absolutely starving. The breadsticks on a restaurant table don’t appeal to me at all!
ooooh, this is fun. I always love reading that part of a trashy mag!
i despise camping. i seriously hate everything about it - the bugs, smelling like fire for days after you get home, waking up feeling dewey, sleeping poorly, being/feeling dirty.. blegh.
fact about me: I desperately need to paint my toenails since I have not done it once since summer started. The nail polish just laughs in my face every time I walk by it in the stores! Unless someone wants to pay for me to get a pedicure!
I used to be deathly afraid of dogs (our family doberman attacked me when I was a kid). Now I love them (especially my german beagle, oliver, and can’t image my life without him.
And I not only read about 15 magazines (i work in publishing), i get the newspaper and read about 2 books at a time. I read constantly.
ditto: 2, 6, 7 , 13, 18
