McKenna Bleu

Lifestyle, Interior Design & Motherhood

Behind the Blogger

December 20, 2016 / Lifestyle

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 😉

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

hey-girl-hey

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 days 

2. I’m obsessed with Brussels Sprouts

3. I prefer to eat outside  

4. I was an Aveda hairstylist for 8 years before I started blogging  

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 sunset 

9. If I could do anything I would be a DJ 

10. I don’t like watching movies I’ve already seen 

11. I’m not a big fan of water, or at least not getting my hair wet

12. East Coast > West Coast 

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 would 

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 groceries 

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 favorite 

 

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.

    So this is the first time I’ve left a comment on your blog. I do enjoy reading it! This post was by far my favorite! It’s nice to read the “real” about people you “know” from the internet. I am a good friend of John and Megan’s and I think ya’ll are adorable together! Thanks for the REAL.

    • McKenna says

      November 2, 2016 at 7:15 pm

    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

      December 22, 2016 at 11:20 am

      Gabriela,
      This made my day, thank you for that! I’m so lucky to have you following along! I’m glad you can see the real me through the blogging picture perfect world, sometimes you just can’t hide crazy! Ha! But really, truly appreciate you taking the time to leave such a sweet note!

    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!
