Didn't You Know?

I was over on Mallory's blog and saw that she shared some things that you may not have known about her and I thought I'd do the same! If you decide to share on your blog, leave a link in the comments so I can get in on your secrets!

  1. In high school I was quite the character. I was in the drama club, I ran track, played volleyball, cheered my senior year, and even won homecoming queen. But I think the thing I'm most proud of (and catches most people off guard) is that I (along with one of my friends) was my high schools mascot! GO EAGLES!
  2. I think it's obvious I love to travel. But what you might not know is that I've probably been to more other countries than I have other states in the US. I've been to the Bahamas, Mexico, Jamaica, China, Korea, Belgium, London, Canada, and a few other places. 
  3. I love sweets and candy, but cherry blow pops are the way to my heart. They will always be my favorite.
  4. We all know that I am a thrift-a-holic but somewhere along my thrifting journey I developed a deep love for men's ties. Like, an obsession. I have 30+. 
  5. If you would have told me the day I moved into Metro in Atlanta (the dorms for the Art Institute of Atlanta) that this girl and I would be best friends I would have told you you were crazy. If you told me that her future kid would be my god daughter I would have checked you in myself to the psych ward. Yet, here we are like 4 years later and I love that girl more than anything and she and my little Jaira baby are two of the lights of my life.
  6. An old wish: I used to want to be an Orthodontist. It was my dream since I was in kindergarten. Literally. Until I was a biology major in school. I decided it wasn't the thing for me. I wonder what wish will come true in its place?
  7. I am a collector of art. I love it. Doesn't matter if it's big or small. It can be from a huge artist or a not very well known one. I just love having something that someone put so much love into. 
  8. I took pole dancing classes for 2 years straight. There isn't anything more that I miss doing. Being a poler gave me so much confidence and really changed how I felt about myself and carried myself. I definitely recommend that every lady take at least one class in her life. 
  9. If you follow me on twitter you get some of my random testimonies and worship sessions but I don't really share too much here. My relationship with God has been growing and I have no idea how I would be where I am without him. 
  10. I went natural before it was cool. I don't have any other reason for transitioning other than I was lazy and wore braids all the time so it just made since to do. I will never get a relaxer again in my life. (& I have that shirt on today!)

Some of my closest friends probably knew all of these but I hope some of the newer Cakers enjoyed learning a little bit more about me!
