Hip-hip-hooray! … for finally being 21! I am so full of joy and filled with love as I celebrate this special day surrounded by amazing friends and {feeling} the love from family afar. I truly can’t think of a better way to spend a birthday than with the ones closest to you. A huge shoutout and thank you to everyone for all of the birthday wishes and for those who have gone above and beyond to plan such a special day! I love you all. <3
Instead of a share all on the days events, I am excited to, instead, share with you all a fun + exclusive post on 21 things you may or may not know about me. With Blonde & Bliss nearing it’s eight month anniversary, I figured it’s about time I introduce myself! So with that, grab a glass of wine in celebration and read as you please, have a few laughs, and enjoy!
T W E N T Y – O N E + F U N F A C T S
1. My real name is Josephine – the only time I’ve ever gone by this is on the first day of school when the professor is reading off names and I’m too shy to correct them, back in elementary school when the lunch ladies would tell me to go back and grab a milk (not a fan), and that time I thought it was super cool and très french while studying abroad in France.
2. I’m naturally a brunette! (Yes really! Like dark, dark brunette) I used to laugh at myself as a kid playing around with my blonde (more so yellow) Hannah Montana wig telling myself how I could “never be a blonde” … well, I’m tied to it now!
3. My dream job would be to run my own blog or to work as a journalist for a fashion magazine. In ties to this dream, I am going to school in pursuit of a degree in Journalism + Retail Merchandising.
4. Heels are my best friend (okay not quite but… close) they’re with me everywhere!
5. I love working out! I always feel so refreshed and accomplished when I start my day with a good sweat.
6. Going off of #5… I’m athletic, not sporty. You’re probably wondering what on earth that’s supposed to mean when the words nearly mean the same thing, but let me tell you, there is a difference. Throughout my life I’ve always been active in different activities from figure skating, cheerleading and dance to daily runs, workouts and spin classes however, put a soccer ball in front of me, a racket in my hands, or my body on any type of court and it’s all downhill from there.
7. Give me sparkles, flowers, fur, and glitter galore. I’m all about that girly stuff. Honestly, you should see my apt.!
8. I HATE getting ready. Makeup, hair, you name it… someone do it for me please!
9. Rose gold anything, I’ll take it.
10. This is slightly embarrassing but you might get a kick out of it. In middle school I used to order cheeseburgers in the lunch line and peel off the cheese because I’ve never been a fan. Why not just get a hamburger you say? Well, I was convinced a slice of ham came on top of it and having to peel of BOTH cheese and ham, no way. Ironically, I’m a vegetarian now so this middle school lunch room confusion no longer causes any issues. Phew.
11. I ALWAYS need a to-do list of some sort. I am a huge visual person and without my lists, I’d be the least productive person in the world.
12. I am totally a morning person (if I’m up for them) … However, I can fall asleep at any time of day. The amount of times my friends have told me “I was just talking to you and next thing I knew you were sleeping” is past a two hands count.
13. People always tell me I look like Blake Lively, which I guess is practically the biggest compliment ever considering I secretly want to be Serena Van Der Woodsen from Gossip Girl. Her life is constantly full of excitement and meanwhile, she flaunts the most amazing clothes. I need her wardrobe.
14. I am super indecisive, like REALLY indecisive. I annoy myself even with this personal attribute. Hence why I could never get a tattoo, because I’d hate it the next day.
15. I’m infected with the travel bug. I LOVE getting lost in picturesque streets and exploring new places.
16. I need chocolate everyday, it’s basically an addiction. Oops.
17. I love boutique shopping simply for the wrapping of my newly bought goods. But can you blame me?! It’s done so pretty that I don’t want to open it up! So much so, that instead of hanging the clothes up the moment I get home, I leave them neatly folded in the pretty bag until it’s time to be worn. Anyone else do this?
18. Crying is just a thing I do. Happy, sad, embarrassed, anything really, I’ve probably got tears for it.
19. If my job could be a professional coffee connoisseur where all I did was travel the world to find the best coffee shops, life would be complete. I love my coffee.
20. Peplum + baby doll styles will always be a go-to. I am obsessed with their “girlyness”
21. Brunch is the most important meal of the day. Pretty pastries, fresh coffee and delicious eats all in one, what’s not to love?
I had so much fun writing this post and I hope you enjoyed reading it just as much as I did creating it! While I don’t want to make this totally “all about me” I want to get to know you! What are some fun things about you that make you… you? Share with me in the comments below!
In birthday fun + love … let’s celebrate!
xoxo
Jozy
(p.s. yes, my mom definitely made me do a cake smash and splatter cake all over my face – ha!)
