About Me

Overall? Europhile who adores my friends and family beyond words; I grew up in Fort Wayne, but I have lived in Indianapolis, Denver, Philadelphia, and Chicago, and I just keep coming back here, damn it! Can't help it-see above reason....some other Loves: staying in my swimsuit all day, reading US with my sister, laughing, Vamp nail polish, red lips, my darling cat Diana, champagne, bubble baths, drinking champagne in a bubble bath-even better, passionate positive people, alliteration, seafood, eating dessert as often as possible, art museums, travelling, rainy days that remind me of London, the sound of violins, girls' lunches, NBA games, driving fast, Pumpkin Spice lattes, Fall, dancing, flirting, taking my dog hiking, freedom, making women feel beautiful, planning my own makeup line, collecting perfume bottles, vintage teacups, pajamas, and lingerie, yoga, running. Dislikes: Catty girls, spiders, onions, closed-minded people, and haters in general.
