I thought that it would make sense for me to introduce myself in my first post! So here are 9 facts about myself to give my readers a bit more knowledge about who they are following!

1) How did I come up with my blogs name?

My nickname is Cami. There is so much I would like to write about and I just didn’t feel that Instagram and Facebook would be the place for that. Hence this blog!

2) Do you have any phobias?

Yes, now don’t laugh but I have an extreme fear of moths. Bugs in general freak me out (especially flying ones) but I feel like moths in particular seem to find me! There could be a whole room of people and the moth will dive bomb ME!

3) What is one of your biggest pet peeves?

I absolutely hate people being in my personal space! Specifically relating to standing in queues in stores, I really hate when I am standing in a line and someone is close enough to touch me (or is touching me). DO NOT TOUCH ME! Every time you brush your arm against me or bump your bag into me I am contemplating elbowing you in the stomach or groin! Step back! We are all going to the same place!

4) What is one of your nervous habits?

So I have a really bad habit of peeling the skin off of my lips. Sometimes when I get too nervous, anxious or agitated I pick the skin so much that my lips start to bleed. It isn’t done purposely but I subconsciously pick them to the point where I don’t notice that it’s hurting or even bleeding.

5) What is the drink you always choose at Starbucks?

I haven’t ever been to Starbucks because they don’t have any stores near where I live. Whenever I go to a coffee shop I always order hot chocolate! I don’t actually drink coffee, I’m more of a herbal tea type of person but I like a treat every now and then so when I go out I order hot chocolate with almond/soy milk of course!

6) Do you have any weird body skills?

What even is a weird body skill? I feel like this statement is true and relatable for most women: I have this weird body skill where my body likes to put on weight if I even think of eating food! Tell me I’m wrong!

7) What do you collect?

I have a small obsession with glitter and sippy cups. I am a beautician and I love doing nails! One thing a nail tech will tell you is that you can never, ever have enough glitter, so naturally, I have a butt load of glitter. My other obsession , the sippy cups , are basically reusable plastic or stainless steel cups with straws. I currently have 4 different cups.

8) How important do you think education is?

Oooooh this is a tough one! While I think education up to the 12th grade is extremely important, and tertiary is needed for specific career paths, I am a believer that college or university is not for everyone. There are a lot of amazing people doing amazing things who have either dropped out or never even gone to college. There is no right or wrong path to follow your dreams! Go where your heart takes you.

9) What is your favorite season and why?

I love the colder seasons. My favorite is autumn. I love all the colors of the leaves and flowers and I much prefer the cold over the heat. You can always put more layers on when you get cold, you can’t exactly run around naked when it’s too hot to think. Apparently that’s called indecent exposure and you can be arrested for that!

That brings me to the end of my very first blog post. Thank you for taking the time to read it. I hope you enjoyed getting to know me!
