I’ve been writing this blog for over two years now and haven’t included many “about me” posts. I think (hope) that most of my posts and Instagram musings give you a sense of who I am but all of us are more complex than our social media presence suggests so I think it would be fun to share 30 unrelated facts about me. Maybe we have something in common? Read on and find out!
- My favorite “gemstone” is amber (actually I’m not entirely sure that qualifies as a gem stone, but it’s what I like).
- I’ve only kissed one boy in my entire life (my husband!)
- I have a small core group of girlfriends that I wouldn’t trade for the world.

I’ve only ever kissed ny husband too! Figure skating is lovely! I can skate, but I’m terrified to jump 😛.
Found some opposites in here! I love colour AND opera! 😁
Also, took me a second to realize you were talking in Fahrenheit! Lol. 0 and 30 mean very different things in Celsius!
I thought I was the only one – it’s a rare thing these days 🙂 If we lived closer I’d have you teach me how to skate, I can glide but can’t even break so that’s probably the best thing for me to learn first ha! The celsius to fahrenheit thing gave me a good chuckle hehe.
I can skate but I hate being cold. And you can’t really enjoy one without the other. I’m probably the only person on Earth that hasn’t purchased ANYTHING on amazon.com., and the only thing I’ve ever purchased online are PDF patterns as long as they’re under $5 preferably free
The skating/cold is a paradoxical dilemma haha 😂 Liking the cold is defintily unique – but you’re right I’ve never heard of someone who hasn’t bought from Amazon – go you !!
