11 Things You Might Not Know About Me (but you will once you finish reading this post)
I was lucky enough to attend the annual ProBlogger conference on the Gold Coast last weekend and it was such a hoot. Hanging out with this babe, this babe, this babe and this babe was ultra-phenomenal and I learnt lots of rad stuff about blogging, online biz, creating podcasts and communicating your big, beautiful message to the world. And making money while you're at it.
The biggest takeaway from the weekend for me was to EXPERIMENT and more PLAY.
Sometimes, because this blog is integral to my work as a coach, I feel like the content isn't as fun or as personal (in a sorta silly way) as maybe I'd like. So I thought today I could share with you a few things you might not know about me that are purely playful, a wee bit silly and a bit of a laugh.
1. I met my boyfriend when I was 4 years old...
...We went to pre-school and primary school together, then didn't reconnect (and fall like crazy in love) until we were 26. :)
2. The first time I practiced yoga was when I was travelling in India...
...It was also the first time I drank beer out of teapots.
3. I rarely wear high heels...
...but at a wee 164cm I always feel awesome when I do. Note to self: Wear more heels.
4. In the 8 years I lived in Melbourne, I barely ever went into the CBD...
...But when I did, I loved nothing more than wandering around the lane ways, taking photos and eating mini cupcakes down Degraves.
5. I was 99% vegetarian while I was at uni...
...Mostly because I simply couldn't afford meat. My fingernails were like paper!
6. My parents met when they were 28, married by 29 and had me at 30...
...By 36 they had 5 kids under their belt! We weren't a handful at all.
7. I used to be obsessed with Alice in Wonderland...
...I designed and made two ranges of Alice in Wonderland lingerie at uni and somehow convinced my best mates and sisters to model them.
8. I can sew...
...I used to buy most of my clothes from Vinnies and cut them up, re-create them or just nip them in to fit. Vintage has always been a love of mine. Note to self: Wear more vintage.
9. I really don't enjoy shopping...
...I'll shop when I have something specific in mind, but window shopping drives me mad.
10. I'm naturally (dark) blonde...
...But I've been a brunette, a fire-engine-red-head, had black as black locks, strawberry blonde, purple highlights, pink highlights... Light blonde (I reckon) is the most "me". There's only one photo of me with flaming red hair and it's in the time capsule at my primary school. This one below comes close...
11. I'm a Christian...
...My beliefs have changed, grown and evolved over the years (and maybe I'll delve further into that another time), but I believe in God and Jesus and all that jazz and it's shaped me and the way I perceive life more than most other things combined.
