Hey guys,
Today's post will be a bit shorter, I had a busy weekend and a lot to do for university. But I do want to post regularly for you guys, so I still wrote something for you. In today's post, I share 10 random facts about me. Just to get to know me a little bit more :). So let's get into it!
1. I'm allergic to apples
Yes, you read that correctly, I'm allergic to apples (and it sucks). When I eat an apple I get an itchy feeling in my throat and ears. But when the apple is heated, baked or cooked, I don't have a problem with it. I can still eat apple pie for example. I used to always take an apple with me to school, but sadly not anymore :(
2. This is not my first-ever blog
When I was younger, one of my best friends started a blog. I really liked that idea and started one too. Together when blogged for quite a while, but I never posted regularly. I eventually didn't like it anymore and quit. Not long after I started again, and again and again. I actually really don't know how many blogs I've had. Some alone, some with friends. This is the first one I actually post often and I still keep up with it, despite having taken a (short) break. Oh yeah, I also had a YouTube channel, which you can still find online. But the very cringy videos are on private lol.
3. I currently own 11 plants
If you're here since the beginning you know I'm a plant-mom. But you didn't know that I own 11 plants in my little room. Plant vs space ratio is not in balance I would say, but I still enjoy them all.<3
4. I used to bite my nails
When I was younger I bit my nails all the time. I know, not very flattering but it just was something I couldn't do anything about. For many years my one New Years resolution was to quit biting my nails. But nothing worked, not even the disgusting nail polish that my mom got for me. But a few years ago, I just stopped. I don't know why or how I just stopped. Since then I don't bite my nails anymore.
5. Broccoli is my favourite vegetable
For real, if for some reason there was only one kind of vegetable I could eat for the rest of my life it would be broccoli. If I can add broccoli I will add it, in pastas, on pizzas <3. For real, if you wake me up in the middle of the night and say that you have broccoli for me, I wouldn't be mad. Although I really love sleep too.
6. I've been in Dubai
Yes, my 16 year-old-self went to Dubai for two weeks for an internship abroad. This was an amazing experience I will never forget. It is still unreal if I think about the fact that I spend two weeks there. I met the most amazing people and yes I have seen the Burj Khalifa (tallest building in the world). Please let me know if you would like a post about this trip!
7. I'm kind of a Sims addict
So, I'm going to be real with you guys. But I am very close to having spent 3000 hours in The Sims 4. Yes, 3000 hours. When I was younger I used to play The Sims 3 on the old computer of my parents. But when the Sims 4 came out I knew that this computer wouldn't handle the game very well. So I saved for a laptop, bought the Sims 4 game almost immediately when it came out. And I just got addicted. This game was my life for so many years, it got me through secondary school and I still play. But not as frequent anymore as I used to. Becomes the old computer of my parents is now gone, I have no clue how many hours I've spent playing the Sims 3. I am sure that it will also be over 1000 hours, I really loved this game too.
8. I don't like rain
I guess not many people actually DO like rain, but I have a funny story about this. When I was little, I used to have this book were my friends and family could write in and tell a little about themselves. This was really a 'thing' at primary school and I also wrote that I didn't like rain. This was the one thing I just didn't like. Now still, I just don't like rain. I even prefer cold over rain. Maybe this is very random, but I just liked to share this. :)
9. I used to have very blond hair
When I was little I had very thin and very blond hair. As I grew older my hair got darker and darker. Now I would describe my hair as light brown. I couldn't find a picture for you guys. But my hair used to be really short, sometimes braided into 2 little braids. It was cute but I really like my hair as it is now, I want it even longer. I've had these phases of hairstyles, most of them were NOT cute. I have had bangs, a bob, just awkward hair. Looking back at pictures of the early years of secondary school I just really dislike my hair. It was just all over the place.
10. I got a new job!
Last, but not least, number 10. I just got a new job! After a few months of having no job for me to earn money, I finally found something nice. I haven't worked yet, but I will start end of this year/beginning of next year I can work regularly again. I am planning on moving out next year, so now I will have to save up money. I got a job at a small cafeteria in Arnhem Central Station, where I will make coffee and sell sandwiches.
To be honest with you, it was really hard to think of 10 facts that were interesting about me. Without sharing too many awkward things. I hope you liked this post! Please let me know if you want me to write about a certain topic, I would love to hear your ideas. I hope to see you Thursday with another post!
Love,
Julia
