Fun facts about me

Hi guys
I hope everyone had a nice weekend… my weekend was pretty low key...
So anyways I was looking through some of my old pictures and I thought I will share some with you guys  … this is basically a blast from the past post.

Enjoy

So here is a pic of my parents... i look alot like my dad... or so i've been told



This is my brother holding me and my older sister sitting next to him... My older sister pasted away when i was 13 ... this is one of the few pictures i have of her. 


Me (on the left) during a school performance in Nigeria when i was 7


My mom is the oldest of 10 sisters and 1 brother... so i have A LOT of cousins ...A LOTTTTTTT

LOADS 

I went to an ALL girls Catholic High School in Pennsylvanian and i did track and crew (rowing) in high school and college


My family (as in whole family) takes a yearly vacation and i must admitt ... my most HATEDDDD vacation spot to date is DISNEY WORLD... we were there for 3 WEEKS with aunties and little cousins and i was in HELLLLLLL.  


I studied French for about 5 years and i must admit my French still sucks ... all the studying i did in school did nothing for me... i really only learned it when i was in Paris by just watching French tv and parting the whole time x_x 




Some of you may or may not know but i design here and there...below are all pieces i designed and sewed ... i didn't go to school for design although i did consider it... i love illustrating and designing just as much as i love styling and cosmetics... i taught myself to sew by using sewing for dummies ... 

My line was called Catherine Marion... whatever happened to it?? well here's what happened... I only made one collection.... at that time i was really active about designing ... i had a few small contracts with small boutiques in NY but i couldn't keep up with the demand because i was sewing everything myself ... i knew i had to make the decision of either putting more into it and hiring tailors or just put it aside an concentrate on graduating. Well i decided to put it aside because it was way too time consuming and to be honest i'm not even sure i'm that passionate about it... the same goes with Hair styling... right now i can put up videos and blogs but when it comes down to it i know a time is going to come when i have to decide if i'm really going to go for it or not... argh



One of the boutiques 
Most of my bathing suits i make myself because i can never find what i'm looking for when i'm shopping ..







The final fun fact about me is... i LOVEEE playing dress up... my favorite holiday is Halloween lol cause i'm always looking for an excuse to dress in costume O_O 







till next time 
xoxo
