SOCIAL IMPRESSIONS

Every time I look at my news feed, I see another note from my friends that shares private aspects of their lives. It has been really interesting getting to know my friends in that personal way.

Since I am not facebook friends with many of you, I would love for you to get to know me personally. So, I’ve decided to share my “25 things about me” on my blog!

1- I love mixing popcorn and whoppers together. I only do it when I go to the movie theater. It just doesn’t taste the same anywhere else
2- I was born in Jerusalem, but I lived in UAE, Cyprus, Egypt and Morocco before coming to the US
3- My 2007 New Years goal was to remove all toxic and emotionally/mentally unhealthy people from my life. I have renewed that goal every year since because it has made me a happier person
4- All my life, people used to say that I’ll know when I meet “the one.” I always doubted it, until I met my fiance
5- I am more excited to be Howie’s wife than the actual wedding. I believe too many brides-to-be get caught up in the celebration and forget about the partnership
6- I LOVE vanilla ice cream with cinnamon sprinkled on top
7- I believe that one great friend is much better than 20 acquaintances
8- I recently lost 25 lbs. I also quit smoking 6 months ago!
9- When I make a mistake, I am harder on myself than anyone ever will be
10- I am a workaholic and don’t think there is anything wrong with it
11- The most beautiful country I ever visited was Malaysia. My mom and I had the best trip/adventure to date!
12- I become very irritable and bitchy when I am hungry and/or tired
13- When something really sad happens, my first reaction is to smile or laugh. It isn’t because I find it funny, it is just my way of protection
14- I am a perfectionist. I can’t settle for average
15- I truly believe things happen for a reason and is part of our journey through life
16- I have a major shoe addiction… like really, it’s serious!
17- I get upset when my dogs, Dakota and Amira, ignore me and run to their daddy
18- Last month, I discovered that red wine actually tastes a lot better than white wine
19- I know the lyrics to ONLY one song, “Fly me to the moon”
20- I played the piano for 10 years, until I came to the US 9 years ago. One of my biggest regrets is not pursuing it
21- I hate that I love watching “Housewives of Orange County/New York/Atlanta” Those ladies are ridiculous, but it is so addictive
22- When I go to NY, I bring with me the craziest clothes. NY allows… actually ENCOURAGES … you to be creative, adventurous and daring! I LOVE NYC!
23- I feel like there is a purpose for everyone on this earth
24- I get SO peeved with ignorant and racist people, especially those who share opinions and make blanket statements without knowing what they are talking about
25- My proudest moment to date is graduating with my master’s degree in media communications with a 3.95 GPA
