25 Things You Didn’t Know About Me

…

Hey guys! So, this week, I thought I’d get a bit more personal and do a 25 Things You Didn’t Know About Me post so you could get to know me a little better. It’s been almost 6 months since my blog went live and aside from my fashion and beauty posts, I haven’t opened up too much about me yet! Honestly, it has taken me quite some time to write this as I am kind of a private person. So, opening up in such a public forum feels a bit unnerving, but all that aside— I think it’d be fun because, personally, I love reading posts like these! So, here goes!

1. Titanic is my favorite movie of all time. Every time it’s on TV, I stop scrolling and watch it till the very end. The part where Jack sank gets me every time (that raft was big enough for both Jack and Rose, just saying).
2. My favorite vacation destination would have to be the Maldives. It was the most beautiful place I had ever seen. The turquoise/aqua blue water was completely breathtaking and postcards could hardly do it any justice.
3. My favorite meal is hotpot. I could eat that every single and be completely happy!
4. I’ve never been to a concert.
5. The only pets I had growing up were a few parakeets and a couple of goldfish.
6. I never played any sports in school. However, I tried out for Volleyball once but after I saw the bruises on my arms, I quit.
7. I have two younger sisters. No boys in my family.
8. I’m really afraid of dogs. When I was in the 7th grade, I was chased by a gigantic black dog while walking home from school. Good thing it didn’t bite me, but I was traumatized.
9. I can’t drink alcohol because I’d get rashes all over, but I love a good Sangria.
10. History and Art were my favorite classes in school.
11. I met my husband when I was a freshman in college. He was a Junior. Our very first interaction involved me yelling at him and he never left since.
12. My favorite thing to do when I travel is to eat as much street food as possible.
13. My favorite boy band was the Backstreet Boys. Brian Littrell is my favorite in the group.
14. I love cilantro. Can’t live without it.
15. I can play the piano. Took my first lesson when I was 12 years old.
16. In high school, I asked this really cute guy to a dance by passing him a note in class. It said, “Will you go to the Snowball Dance with me?” He never responded and ignored me the rest of the school year.
17. I was born in Vietnam and came to the US when I was 6 years old.
18. I took 5 years of Spanish in school, so I could understand a little bit of Spanish.
19. My must-have beauty product is my BB cream with SPF. I do not leave the house without it.
20. My biggest pet peeve is when I go out to eat with someone, and while they wait for their food, they help themselves to mine. This makes my blood boil.
21. I don’t eat dairy products, not because I’m lactose intolerance, I just don’t like the taste.
22. The best gift I ever received was when my husband got me my first Birkin on his business trip.
23. My dream as a kid was to become a florist and own a cute little flower shop.
24. My name means “wholesome” “complete” “origin” in Vietnamese.
25. I was told I am a pretty good cook, but not exactly consistent, it all depends if I am feeling like an iron chef that day.
