Happy Friday Friends!

Ugh, today is unfortunately a dark, gloomy & rainy day in Boston and all I want to do is get home and crawl back into my bed (maybe make some hot cocoa)!

I got a lot of DM's asking me more about myself after I posted the last about me, so I figured why not do another round (here is the first one, if you wanted to read it).

1. My favorite go to brunch order is Eggs Benedict (I order the SAME thing every time & everywhere I go)

2. I graduated college in 3 years (not because I am crazy smart, but I took a bunch of summer classes)

3. The majority of my blog pics are taken by my dad, boyfriend or I put the timer on and take it myself

4. My got-to order at Starbucks is a grande cold brew with 2 pumps of hazelnut & coconut milk (I have been getting 2 pumps of pumpkin spice lately now that it's fall)

5. I am allergic to cinnamon so fall can actually be a HUGE struggle for me (no pies/cinnamon rimmed beer)

6. My mom lives in the Oceanside CA (its about 25 minutes north of SD)

7. I love summer but Fall is absolute my favorite season

8. I got a brush stuck in my hair when I was in the 5th grade, which ended up causing my dad to have to get the pliers out & cut the brush from hair because it was so matted / tangled together (this ended with me having homemade bangs..)

9. I was obsessed with barney as a child (I had a barney bed spread, sheets, pillows, etc.)

10. I have never broken any bones, well that I know of (my dads go to line as a kid was "shake it off, your fine")

11. My got-to outfit would be my black ripped jeans, a tee & my Steve Madden slip on sneaks

12. My go to ice cream order would be black raspberry with hot fudge & chocolate jimmies

13. I love scary movies (I find pure joy in them, I am not sure if its because the adrenaline rush I get from watching them but I have always been a fan)

14 . Not the biggest fan of cats, personally, they kind of freak me out (If I were to get a dog it would be a golden doodle)

15. Im right handed (so lame I know)

16. My middle name is Ashley (my dad originally wanted my name to be Samantha so my initials spell out SAM - Shauna Ashley Mantos)

17. If I could visit anywhere in the world it would be either Italy or Greece (probably Italy though because I could eat pasta and drink wine all day long)

18. I love watching older movies & listening to old music (by old I mean the early 2000's & 90's guys - old school lil Wayne, and I recently re-watched the Lizzie McGuire movie)

19. I am absolutely someone that likes to plan everything and tend to get a tiny bit OCD when shit is not organized

20. I am actually kind of a quiet person, unless you know me (once you get to know me I can't keep my mouth shut)

21. I wouldn't consider myself a morning or night person because I hate waking up and if I could go to sleep every night at 8pm I would

22. As of recently I have been addicted to espresso martinis (I heard it's bad luck if they don't put the espresso beans, lmk if this is true haha)

23. If I had to pick between Harry Potter Weekend or Pirates of the Caribbean weekend I would pick Harry Potter and NOT even think twice

24. I am pretty tall if you couldn't tell by my pics (I am 5.7" - 5.8")

25. I have no tattoos ( I thought about getting one like 10 times, but I am too much of a wimp so I will probably never get one now)

26. I don't really have too many fears, but I hate elevators more than anything (almost had a meltdown when I was at the top of the Empire State building and had to take the elevator down, no joke they shoved like 100+ in one elevator)

27. Reese's are probably my favorite treat (for some odd reason I swear the Christmas tree Reese's taste the best)

28. I am addicted to buying candles (probably every time I go to HomeGoods I get a new candle)

29. I use to be the type of person that wanted to go out and be super social, but my favorite thing to do now is relaxing with a face mask on, drinking a glass of wine while watching trashy reality tv or a romantic comedy (if you have any recommendations send them my way)

30. My two favorite spots in Boston are Lucca in the North End & Temazacal in Seaport
