Did You Know…
I’m an enneagram 2w3. I’m a figure skater. I love to bake (crumb-bakeshop.com). I always have fresh flowers in my living room. I don’t like to read much; I’d rather be living life. I’m Italian — I lived in Italy when I was nineteen, and I was fluent in Italian for a little while. My Nonna and I have the same birthday! My home smells like Nikka’s Home Vanilla Bean Soy Candle from Amazon. Arranging flowers is one of my favorite hobbies.
