Hi Friends! If you’re new here, welcome!
It’s been awhile since I’ve shared some fun facts, a few things you may not know about me despite the perfectly polished photo you see on Instagram đ
I’m McKenna, I’m a fresh 32. I like silence in Target, 70 degree & above weather, pizza with meat, a hefty pour of Cabernet, 90’s R&B slow jams and familiar faces. I’m a blogger and a professional wing-it kind of girl. I cuss a lot, but clean up well. I usually see the glass half full and stay away from Debbie downers. I have a cat named Muffin, if  she’s an indication of my parenting skills I should go ahead and cross that box off the list.
I love sparkly dresses, especially this gem from my girl Ripely Radar c/o
I’m a colorful wall seeker and making kissy faces has always been a struggle.
1. I struggle at all things adulting, not sure how I make it through the world some daysÂ
2. I’m obsessed with Brussels Sprouts
3. I prefer to eat outside Â
4. I was an Aveda hairstylist for 8 years before I started blogging Â
5. My heart swings back and forth between the need for routine and the urge to run
6. I’m emotional but not a big talker
7. Pretty sure there isn’t a shade of pink I don’t like
8. Music is my favorite thing in life, along with watching the sunsetÂ
9. If I could do anything I would be a DJÂ
10. I don’t like watching movies I’ve already seenÂ
11. I’m not a big fan of water, or at least not getting my hair wet
12. East Coast > West CoastÂ
13. I’m not a big spender on material things but will drop it all for an experience or an adventure
14. I’ve always wanted to do a fitness competition but I’ve accepted the fact I like booze and pizza more
15. If I could sit in front of a fireplace all day, I wouldÂ
16. I mumble 90% of the time & make up weird ass phrases daily, my own secret lingo
17. I have a terrible diet, bottom line is I’m just too lazy to cook or even buy groceriesÂ
18. If I could change one thing in the world, it would be for Chick-fil-A to be open on Sunday’s
19. Funny people are the shit, I like to laugh, especially at myself
20. I like nicknames for my friends, PorkChop is my favoriteÂ
Thanks for checking out the blog, be sure to follow me on Pinterest & Instagram if you aren’t already!

Awe I LOVED this post McKenna!! I also see your pretty photos but it’s so cool to actually get to know you! I didn’t realize we had so much in common! I too curse like a sailor, but clean up pretty well and make up my own words. Where on the east coast are you originally from? What brought you to san diego?

I love posts like this. It’s funny how as bloggers we share so much and yet can forget that we can talk about ourselves too.

Gabriela Rego says
I follow many bloggers and I never leave comments but you are by far the most REAL blogger. I love that! So many bloggers want to make it seem like they live in a fantasy world and to be quite honest, that’s annoying! Thanks for being a normal person!
McKenna says

xoxo A

Haha, I’m so similar to you in so many ways! I basically hate water and getting my hair wet too – even though I used to swim train – but now I care too much about my looks to ruin it with chlorine LOL!
