Who is Girl vs. Cake...REALLY

I could leave it at the "about me" section, but I want you guys to have a better understanding of who I am!!

Since I am 19 years old, I tried to choose 19 facts about me that I feeling greatly impact my character.

So with that, let's dive in.

1. I study Nutrition and STRONGLY believe in a balanced lifestyle. I am an Anti-Diet, body positive, "food is fuel" kinda gal. You should eat the foods you love EVERY DAY...and yes, that includes dessert. Always.

2. I consider myself an "extroverted introvert." I need human interaction, but also cherish alone time. Basically, I love hanging out in large groups until I SUDDENLY DON'T and need to be in bed watching a movie.

3. Disney is a significant part of my childhood, and what I have to blame for my intense imagination. I believe there's a lil bit of magic in everyone's life...cliché I know. But Disney has taught me to never give up on your dreams, no matter how crazy they are...and I live by that.

4. My music taste is incredibly diverse. I have a playlist for every mood, from working out, to crying, to hanging out with friends, to driving by the ocean.

5. I could GENUINELY live off of chocolate chip cookies, toast, oatmeal, and chips and salsa. And be completely content forever.

6. With that being said, nothing makes me happier than a GIANT salad. Lots of lettuce, AS MANY toppings as possible, some source of protein and healthy fat, and a killer dressing. CHOWING DOWN on one of those...there's nothing better.

7. I value friendships and close relationships immensely. I would always much rather have five close friends that know me inside and out than have 20 close-ish friends. And for those five close friends, I would give them the world if I could...and I know they'd do the same for me. Aww.

8. I've worked at multiple foodservice places, all of which served smoothies or smoothie bowls. I consider myself an expert on the item now.

9. My biggest role models are Alton Brown, Lizzo and Julia Child. Possibly in that order.

10. I was a dancer for 15 years of my life. My FAV's were lyrical and tap, but I also dabbled in hip hop, break dancing (yes), jazz, ballet...and anything else you can imagine. Now I learn Tik Tok dances in my free time.

11. I'm very particular about my favorite movies, as I think they each tell significantly incredible stories. My fav's are La La Land, Titanic, Ratatouille, Julie & Julia, Tangled, and Grease.

12. I value working out but rant about the fact that it should be a supplemental activity for your mental health, rather than seen as a "weight loss" tool or used for a toxic lifestyle. Working out should be therapeutic, period!

13. As stress coping mechanisms, I play the ukulele, paint, do yoga, or cry. All are equally valuable for different times.

14. Dream jobs include recipe testing, nutritional therapist, and parade performer at Disneyland. Again, all equally important.

15. 19 is a lot. So these may be dumb. I applaud you for getting this far. My favorite color is pink.

16. While many envision a dream house, I have had my dream kitchen planned out since I was in elementary school. Pastel colors with rose gold accents is the color scheme. Can't give too much else away;).

17. I don't have one particular dream place to live, but I do feel like when I travel certain places I have a "sparkle" of sorts. These places include NYC, Chicago, Seattle, and a few others.

18. It's easy for me to become obsessed with a specific food and then eat it nonstop until I am sick of it. Some recent ones have been cereal, watermelon, and chocolate chip cookies...except I can never REALLY be sick of any of these.

19. Last one! While I have a lot of things to say and a lot of passions, I'm still on the "journey of life." I question everything and ultimately am just trying to find a purpose. I'm hoping this blog will help with that!

Boom. 19 facts. Give me a fun fact about YOURSELF!!
