Getting To Know You (No Swatches, But A Tag)

Hello, Hello, Hello.

A thousand apologies for the long hiatus, lovelies. As much as I would love to just blame it on real life work business, I really can't. The truth is I got into a bit of a funk and didn't feel like connecting with people on any level really. 

Which sort of brings me to the point on today's post. I started this blog to share my love of nail polish, but I think to effectively do that I need to inject a little bit of sharing who I am as a person past the bull description that makes up the first post of this blog. I found this random tag over at the fabulous Nouveau Cheap, and have always been a random loving girl, so thought it would be a great way to put myself out there. Likewise, I would love if you my dear readers would comment with your answers, or post this on your own blog. So here's a few random things about me!

What's a nickname only your family calls you? Bee... This came from a speech impediment I had as a child where I pronounced the beginning of every word except "yellow" with a B. 

What's a weird habit of yours? Ask my friends and boyfriend and they will say polishing my nails every day, lol. I would say it's that I fold origami cranes obsessively when I'm nervous or stressed. 

Do you have any weird phobias? I am TERRIFIED of swans, geese, and loons. I was attacked by a black swan when I was six, even the Swarovski logo makes me nervous. Geese are mean, and loons are like creepy demonic ducks with red eyes, sharp teeth, and haunting calls.


What's a song you secretly love to blast and belt out when you're alone?  



Elton John... so incredible. 


What's one of your biggest pet peeves?

People who open food in grocery stores before they pay for it... Just because they intend to buy it doesn't make it theirs.





What's one of your nervous habits?


I mentioned the origami above, but I also bite my bottom lip A LOT when I'm nervous.


What side of the bed do you sleep on?


I don't care which side I sleep on, I'm a stomach sleep, so sides don't matter that much.


What was your first stuffed animal and its name?



I have a pink stuffed Hippopotamus from when I was a baby that I named Henrietta. I still have her, she's been sown up so many times over the years from when I would take her literally everywhere. When I had my appendix out when I was 17 I tucked her into my purse before I went to the hospital just so she would be close.


What's the drink you always order at Starbucks?


I actually can't stand Starbucks, and I don't drink coffee, so I can't really say.


What's the beauty rule you preach, but never actually practice?


Applying foundation properly. I have really really temperamental skin, so I really rarely wear foundation, but I am always telling my friends how to apply it.


Which way do you face in the shower?



Front towards the water mostly.



Do you have any weird body skills?


My fingers bend backwards. All of them. Three of them can actually touch the back of my hands.


YOU ARE WARNED THIS IS KIND OF GROSS!!!!








What's your favorite comfort food thats 'bad', but you love to eat it anyways?



I have had to stop eating traditional "Comfort Foods" when I was told 3 years ago that I can't have gluten (the protein in wheat, barley, and rye), but I indulge by baking cupcakes with So'Fella Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix... it's so delicious.


What's a phrase or exclamation you always say?


"Gorram It!" - I love me some Firefly and Serenity.


Time to sleep - what are you actually wearing?


My oversized comfy T-Shirt that says "Dating a vampire is a pain in the neck" and my Eeyore sleep shorts :D






So there you have it dear readers, a few random crazy things that allow me to feel like I'm putting myself out there. Looking forward to see responses... for the record the questions are:
