Hey you guys!

Popping on here today to:

A. tell you how much I’m loving stripes this season

B. list 15 fun facts about me, myself, and I

I did this on Instagram a few months ago as a way to introduce myself to any of the new readers that may have circulated in over the course of the past months. Think of it as a fun little icebreaker!

  1. Balance & Chaos used to be named The Domestic Diva Diaries. Read about my 4 year blogging story here.
  2. I have a horrible habit of picking and biting the skin around my nails. Sometimes to the point that they are red, inflamed, and sometimes bleeding. For real, SOS.
  3. Fries, chips, and crackers >> candy, cake, and ice cream. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth to be honest but it does come out on occasions!
  4. It’s hard for me to break a sweat. Regardless of the intensity, my cheeks will just turn really red before I start actually sweating.
  5. I also work as a nurse in a plastic surgery office 2 days a week. I have never had Botox or fillers but you can ask me anything! Better yet, come see me if you live in Pittsburgh!
  6. Never have I ever: been in an automobile accident or eaten a burrito
  7. My brother calls me “Eric” because he says I look like a little boy when I’m in sweats/not wearing any makeup. Other childhood nicknames consisted of: Pooh, Dink, & Stench. No one is really sure why.
  8. I can’t sleep in pants, socks, or long sleeves and I always have to have a fan on for noise regardless of the season.
  9. I might actually live for my nighttime skincare routine. Ask Josh. He thinks I’m crazy.
  10. I love to cook. But I am not much of a baker. There’s a difference.
  11. You will find vats of vaseline of all shapes and sizes in any purse, bag, or compartment that I own.
  12. The tiny tattoo on my right ankle is a glyph and it means “express”.
  13. I’m a homebody. It’s hard to get me to go out, but once I’m out, I never want to come home. The introvert/extrovert struggle!
  14. Both of my front teeth are fake due to an incident when I was in college. Long story short, it involved hardwood floors and doing the worm with one of my girlfriends. You can guess the ending to that one.
  15. Guilty pleasures: The Bachelor(ette), McDonald’s nuggets and honey, online shopping, documentaries, popping pimples/blackheads
