11 Facts about me
1. Dusk is my favorite time of the day.
2. A few years ago I sat alone for almost 2 hours looking at Leonardo da Vinci's Burlington House Cartoon in that small room in the Sainsbury Wing at the National Gallery, London. It was an unreal and transformative experience being able to soak it in without anyone else present. Time basically stopped.
3. I have a penchant for lip glosses, and have over 100 of them.
4. The older that I get the more that I understand the importance of nurturing friendships.
5. I don't like umbrellas, and still like jumping in puddles- rather than avoiding them.
6. My sister is my best friend. She has more pairs of shoes than I have lip glosses.
7. Generally speaking, I spend more money on skincare than I do on makeup.
8. I have WAY too many pink blushes and lip products, but I really love them all.
9. I try to live in an environmentally responsible way. I really try to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Sometimes it's not easy being Green. For instance I drive a hybrid, but I realize that disposing of their batteries is anything but green!
10. Continually learning new things excites me.
11.The most impressive famous person that I have ever met and spoken with is Elie Wiesel- it was a life changing event for me.
