Time to break-up the crazy seriousness that's been going on in these parts lately. I feel like every post has been an expose on intense life happenings. Sorry about that. Today I thought I'd share a few silly facts about me that go against everything blog land (and Pinterest too).
1. I hate red velvet everything. As a kid I got sick after eating red velvet cake, and now every time I see it I want to gag.
2. I've never tried any kind of nail art ever, and probably never will. I hate painting my nails, but my toe nails are another story.
3. I didn't really wear make-up until I started blogging. I can admit being peer pressured into something.
4. I've never eaten a macaroon, and I'm not really tempted to try them now.
5. I don't like cupcakes.
6. I haven't been thrifting in two months, and it's killing me!
7. I'm not a fan of the mixed drink. I have found a total of two I like: "bourbon and ginger," and one we made up w/no name. I'd rather drink beer instead.
8. I'm a terrible gardener, and kill almost every plant I touch.
9. I think newborn babies are ugly.
Of course all of these things are my personal opinions and tastes, and I think it's great if you like all of the above. As a matter of fact I think you're probably way cooler than I am. I'm just not cool you guys, it's a lifelong deficiency of mine. big kiss, bekuh
the biggest reason why i like red velvet is for the cream cheese icing and i like cream cheese everythingggg haha
ReplyDeleteI am with you on about half of these, but I love red velvet. Love, love, love it. Nail art is boring, I rarely wore lipstick until I started blogging, macaroons are dry, beer is my go-to drink, plants shrivel up at the mere sight of me, and babies don't even start getting cute until they are at least six months old.

I hadn't tried a macaroon before I went to Paris and the ones we had there were kind of amazing! I wish I had a green thumb, but plants don't seem very fond of me.
ReplyDeletei'm definitely with ya on picking beer over mixed drinks.
ReplyDeleteGOOD beer that is ;)
xo the egg out west.
This post cracked me up. Good job keeping it real! I'm right there with you on the mixed drinks thing. Beer all the way! xo
ReplyDeletei agree with all of these i swear.
ReplyDeletei hate red velvet, i seriously think its so gross. ew.
i hate makeup, im good with mascara and a little powder, but i think its overrated. lol
i've never eaten a macaroon either, i think they look gross...
my husband and i got a succulent and it died within a week, we seriously killed a succulent.
and i was just telling my husband how ugly newborns are. they all look the same i never quite got why people put up a million pictures of their babies that are fresh out of the womb. but really.

Haha, I'm a terrible gardener too. I have one plant that I've had for a few years and it's the only plant that's ever survived with me. I love painting my nails, but it's so frustrating that they chip so quickly, so I usually just do my toenails.
ReplyDeletehaha - You think newborns are ugly... Definitely made me laugh, but it may get you in trouble one day. - Thanks for the quirky post.
ReplyDelete- tianna :)
Hahaha! This made me laugh so much! 1--red velvet isn't all that good anyway. 3--my love of wearing makeup made me want to start blogging! 4--I've never eaten a macaroon, either, but I got my mom a macaroon cookbook for Christmas so maybe I will soon ;) 8--plants die voluntarily around me. They don't even try to live! Hahaha! 9--I sort of think so too, but I'm sure that'll change once I have one of my own :)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day!

Thanks for the laugh today Bekuh, needed it! :)
ReplyDeleteI also kill all my plants! and as for newborn babies... don't they look a little like aliens?
ReplyDeleteMost of them are great except the last.. That's just sad :( I totally agree babies get cuter when they chub out but every baby is cute when they are born. And macaroons are just nasty :(
ReplyDeleteI call newborn babies slugs. I'm not a fan.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I also hate nail polish of any kind and just can't be bothered to put it on my fingers or toes. Not for me.
Now, despite our similarities, there is one thing I love on that list: red velvet cake. It's my FAVE! Ian even made one from scratch for my b-day last year. So good.
Oh my gosh, this list is TOO GOOD!! I am the worst at painting my nails and can't even think about nail art (plus i think it looks weird.)
ReplyDeleteAnd i'm not a huge fan of red velvet either! It's too rich. and i think it's weird to eat cake thats red. Doesn't work for me.
Well, this really made me laugh! Simple and to-the-point! :)
ReplyDeleteHAHA I can relate to most of these. You should do these more often, this made my morning :-)

babies are the worst! wait, no— red velvet is the worst! ahhh, it's a pretty tough decision to make but it's nice to see someone else on my team ;-)
ReplyDeletei also think newborns are ugly haha love this post!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen the appeal of red velvet anything, the colour just looks so unnatural I can't bring myself to try it! Actually, I could relate to quite a lot of these, thanks for the laugh xo
ReplyDeleteI can resonate with so many of these! I hate painting my nails, I'm not a fan of cupcakes and I don't like the look of newborn babies!

Oh gosh, I am right there with you girl! I kill every plant I touch, I don't know how! So sad, ha

I don't get why red velvet cake is so popular. If it's just because it is an appropriate vehicle for cream cheese frosting, I can get behind that- but otherwise, isn't it just regular cake, dyed red? Eww?
ReplyDeletelol this made me laugh because as much as i wish i liked painting my nails i dislike it very much and feel so much nicer with bare & clean fingernails! also what's with the obsession with macaroons? i don't get it!!! is there some magical substance inside of those little pastries... they look like tiny oreos to me haha! i've never tried them either and most likely never will! wish you a wonderful week :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on everything 'cept the macaroons. I was also reticent to try them given how trendy they've become, but I tried one at a party over the holidys & they really are lovely. Go ahead & try-- no one will tell~*
ReplyDeletehah, love this cute little post. :] I'm so with you on 2/8/9 and I used to be on board with #4...until I had one in Paris. That sort of changes things. :]
ReplyDeleteI've never had a macaroon either. I'm a little tempted but not enough to actually make them.

ReplyDeletehahaha this list is great. as a huge baker i feel like its a terrible secret that i've yet to have a macaroon either! and my boyfriend agrees with your baby sentiment...he says "every baby looks just like every other baby ever"
ReplyDeleteI have never eaten a macaroon and I don't do nail art either. We actually have a lot of those things in common! Who knew!

I totally understand almost everything on this list! I literally cannot wear nail varnish for longer than 24 hours - it feels like my nails can't breathe, haha!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I agree with you on quite a few of these. I hate red velvet, don't do nail art, can't keep a single plant alive (I recently killed a succulent), etc.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
I had a similar bad experience with Chicken McNuggets when I was a kid... can't eat them ever since. I'm also not very creative with painting my nails. I never paint my fingers because I have a horrible habit of chipping it off, but my toes are almost always painted.
ReplyDeletehaha, newborn babies are ugly!
ReplyDeletei'm completely with you on 7 & 9.
ReplyDeleteHaha I haven't really ever had anything red velvet. There is something about it that kind of looks gross to me and I really have no desire to try.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty much with you on the nails. I like pretty nails but really don't enjoy painting my finernails that much. If I do, it is usually with a classic red or otherwise they are clear and plain. but my toenails are ALWAYS painted. It feels wrong if they are not.
Anyway yay for random posts - they are some of my favorite kinds!
