10 FACTS ABOUT ME

Since I've started posting on the blog weekly, I thought I'd share a little bit more about me. I'm Kristen if you're new! TheKristenDiary is my blog-- my creative outlet for posting whatever is interesting to me. I would consider this to be a lifestyle blog with beauty, fashion, food, money, books + more. I'm curious about a lot of things so I try to mix it up + share different topics. I also post a lot of my day-to-day on IG stories @TheKristenDiary. Would love to chat with you over there! Here are 10 Facts About Me.

10 FACTS ABOUT ME

1. I'm a 1994 baby. I just had my 27th birthday and I'll be honest with you guys-- I'm that person who hates getting older. I'm optimistic about the future + goals I want to accomplish but my motto's also #foreveryoung. I always feel a little melancholy when it comes to age, it's a weird feeling for me. I was even sad graduating from college! I remember being emotional/tearing up during the commencement speeches. I wasn't ready to enter the "real world." Honestly, can anyone blame me though? 

2. Diet coke addict here. I pretty much drink it exclusively with the occasional water here and there. It's a terrible habit but I looooveeeeeee love it. Those t-shirts out there that say "Diet Coke, Just for the taste of it" must've been made for me. Has to be diet coke though + just right. If your diet coke is messed up at a restaurant, I can always tell!

3. I never finish tv shows. I will start one, watch 80% of the series and then bail out at the end. I honestly think I just don't want to face the ending + it being over. Cheesy, but I do it every time. The only show I know I've watched every episode of is Bloodline on Netflix. I watched it several years back with my dad-- probably the reason I actually finished it??? Such a good one, btw. Definitely watch if you haven't seen it + like drama/suspense. 

4. NOT a morning person. I've always struggled with getting up early + instead I stay up super super late. Still punctual + always on time when I have to be! 

5. I was born in Tennessee but spent most of my childhood growing up in Virginia. After college I moved back to Tennessee + I live here now. 

6. I love love love food and snacks. I'm big on chips + queso and love going out to eat. My recent love has become Chick-fil-A! I use to feel meh about it-- I liked it but didn't really love it like everyone else. They remodeled ours here about a year ago so I think that + doing curbside after COVID has converted me. Recently I've been on a spicy chicken sandwich kick but I also love the nuggets + breakfast! Also a ride-or-die for Chipotle. 

7. I have one sibling, my big sissy Haley. We're three years apart and super close. I see her every single day! We still fight sometimes (not as much as when we were little!) but I love her to death. I know we'll always have each other's back in life + can count on one another. I always tell her that one day when we become old + alone old we'll live + travel together! 

8. I went to a big university + graduated from Undergrad with a Bachelor's in Business Management. My concentration was focused on entrepreneurship + technology. 

9. Iced coffee is my jam. I only ever drank hot until one day in college I randomly decided to try it iced. I've been hooked ever since! I don't care if it's sunny or snowing, I always go for iced. I change my order sometimes but here are my go-tos: iced caramel macchiato w/ non-fat milk, iced white mocha w/ non-fat milk + no whip or iced cinnamon dolce w/ non-fat or almond (also no whip). 

10. I take a bath every single night. It's so bizarre to me how some people don't like baths! It's become a nightly ritual at this point + I look forward to them every day. For me it's the best time to relax + spend a few moments alone. I also always use this bubble bath + these bath salts

Hope you enjoyed! Tell me something about YOU!
