Introduction/15 weird facts about me TAG

I've decided to put my love of makeup into something more constructive than just buying a bunch of stuff and only helping my mom and friends with their makeup needs. This blog will be all things beauty, makeup, hair, and skin being the emphasis. Since my good camera with video just broke I will unfortunately have to post just photos of looks until I get that fixed, but I will include detailed instruction on how to replicate the looks. My first series of makeup looks will be the Disney Princesses. I am very excited to start this journey and I hope that you are willing to take it with me :) As I work to provide beauty related posts here is a 15 random facts tag to hopefully entertain you will you wait.

P.S. Feel free to contact me via email with any questions about makeup or if you are in the area and are needing a makeup artist for any occasion.


1. What is a nickname only your family calls you? I have so many nicknames it's ridiculous. Seems everyone has a different name for me. But Kinzie or Kinz seems to be used only by my family, particularly Kinz. My mom also calls me MC Kinzie sometimes.

2. What is a weird habit of yours? I guess biting my nails. I hate that I do it, since I always regret it after but I can't stop. Once they start getting too long I can't take it anymore. I also check behind the shower curtain every time I go into the bathroom. I have no idea what I'd do if I actually saw a murderer, but it's gotten to a point where I don't even think about it, I just lift the curtain when I walk in lol.

3. Do you have any weird phobias? I have the standard snakes and spiders, but my really weird phobia is mirrors. I know that sounds so strange since I'm always in front of a mirror but they freak me out. Particularly when I'm in a dark room. I have no idea where this came from. I don't think about it when it's light unless I'm cleaning the mirror. But at night either the lights on in the room with a mirror or I take it out. I'm weird like that.

4. What song do you secretly love to blast and belt out when you're alone? I love the Jonas Brothers. I hate to admit it but I do. My love it starting to wane a bit though. I belt out any song I'm listening to when I'm alone. I always think I'm a good singer till I hear what I actually sound like lol.

5. What's one of your biggest pet peeves?  I hate disrespectful people. I know that's standard but I think it bug me more than most people. I used to hate it in school when kids would be disrespectful to the teachers. I also hate most verbal fillers such as "like" and ending every sentence with "so..." It drives me INSANE. I know sometimes it's needed but seriously you don't need to say "like" and "so" fifty million times.  Also bad grammar irritates me to no end. Don't mix up then and than. Just don't do it.

6. What's one of your nervous habits? Playing with my hair or necklace. I'll also fidget with my wrist band a lot. I don't really bite my nails when I'm nervous like some people. It's more when I'm stressed that I bite my nails. Or when I start scratching them on everything.

7. What side of the bed do you sleep on? Whatever side is closet to the wall, farthest from the door. When I'm staying at a hotel with two beds I'll choose the one farthest from the door. I guess I like to feel closed in and guarded. But if I'm sleeping alone I'll sleep right down the middle. Or whatever side my dogs let me have.

8. What was your first stuffed animal and it's name? My first stuffed animal was a stuffed Mickey Mouse named Mickey. My grandparents got it for me in Hawaii while my mom was still pregnant. I still have it and plan to give it to my first child in the distant future.

9. What's a drink you always order at Starbucks? It depends on the season. If it's summer I get a chocolate cookie crumble frapuccino. If it's fall I'll get a pumpkin spice latte and in winter I get a peppermint mocha. Peppermint mocha is my favorite. I'll get that whenever I want hot coffee.

10. What's a beauty rule you preach but never actually practice? Not to touch your face or pick at your acne. I do that all the time. But don't do it, it's bad for your face.

11. What way do you face in the shower? Away from the shower head, unless I'm rinsing.

12. Do you have any weird body skill? I can't think of anything. When I was younger my cousins convinced me that the fact I could bend my pinky behind my ring finger was weird, but when I got older I realized pretty much everyone can do that.

13. What your favorite comfort food/food that's bad but you love to eat it anyway? Jalapeno chips and Ben and Jerry's chocolate peppermint crunch (something like that) ice cream. I'm usually not a big ice cream person but I've ate so much of that ice cream this summer. It's like eating a giant peppermint patty with thin mints in it.

14. What phrase or exclamation do you always say? I say "Oh my god" or some variation of that a lot. I also say "I'm dead", "I'm dying" or "I really needed that in my life."And I cuss more than I should.

15. Time to sleep- what are you actually wearing? A big t-shirt and shorts. Unless it's cold, then I'll wear pajama pants.
