I’ve seen quite a few bloggers write articles regarding this topic and I loved reading them because I love getting to know facts about people. Social media only allows you to see so much from someone, so it’s refreshing when bloggers give a little more insight into who they are outside of their accounts. I knew I wanted to do something similar because it’s a great way for you all to get to know more about me. Before we jump into to my 10 facts, I also wanted to give some love to the Faviana cocktail dresses. I don’t normally wear pink, but I thought the silhouette and style would be fun to play with and tap into my girly side a bit. I am also obsessed with off the shoulder and two piece sets, so this was a great option for me to shoot with. Can we also take a moment to appreciate the rhinestones? I love when dresses have added details like that because it makes the piece so much more special. I know this isn’t an outfit that I would wear everyday, but I also love taking pictures of certain outfits that are glamorous and I couldn’t turn down this dress down! this Now that I’ve expressed my love for this dress, let’s jump into ten things you might not know about me:
I am the middle child and have two sisters. My older sister, Marilyn and I are only 13 months apart and my younger sister, Mandy and I are four years apart. If you haven’t noticed, we all also start with the letter “M” which was intentional when my mom named us.
Fitness is a huge part of my life and I workout 5x a week. I always go to the gym in the mornings as a way to start my day and I rarely miss a workout!
I live at home and have been at my apartment for as long as I can remember! I take pride in my neighborhood since I reside in the Lower East Side and if you live in the city, you know why I am holding on to this dear place for as long as I can.
I am not really a animal person. I do think puppies are adorable, but I’ve never been an actual pet owner aside from a few fishies and a turtle.
My favorite food is breakfast. I am obsessed with avocado toast, pancakes and eggs. On that note, it is safe to say that I am also a huge foodie and have a running list of places to eat in the city.
I’ve had Lasik surgery in January 2016 and it was one of the best decisions of my life!
I am sort of afraid of water. I can’t tread water because I can tend to panic when I can’t reach the floor of a pool. I refuse to go into the deep ends of the beach, but I can swim from one end of the pool to the other. I actually want to get more comfortable in the water because I think my fear does limit me from exploring all the fun activities especially if I”m on vacation.
I have asthma and have been hospitalized for it when I was 6 years old. But dont’ worry it’s all under control now 🙂
I am allergic to shellfish and all nuts except for peanuts and almonds. You might think this is unfortunate but luckily for me, I actually don’t like shellfish and I don’t like the nuts that I’m allergic to so it’s actually a win win for me.
I am a morning person and love to get things done early on the day. This also means when there are events or appointments, I like to schedule them early because I love spending nights at home.
This was actually very fun for me to write and I hope you all enjoyed reading it. Leave me one comment about a fun fact that I might not know about you!
It was so great getting to know more about you Mariann! I really admire your dedication for sticking with working out so consistently. It's getting so hot in Palm Springs I feel like I'm naturally slacking off LOL. I need to get on your level!! Just like you I have been LOVING getting the day started early and getting things done :) xo, sharon
I feel like hikes are very common in LA and that's a great way to get in exercise while hanging out with your friends so you should try that :)
How neat to hear everything about you that we bloggers did not know. Probably the most exciting thing about me is that I am heading to California for at lest the next four years. Heading to LA in particular to go to Marshall Business school at USC. Excited.

That sounds great :) I am sure you'll have fun!
Love your outfit so much and loved learning more about you... fun fact about me I hate wearing matching socks for some resaon haha
Haha I love that!! Thanks for sharing :)
This dress is gorgeous!!!! It's seriously the perfect cocktail dress. It was so fun getting to know you better! Haha love that all your siblings have a name that start with M - definitely unique. You've had lasik?!? How was your experience? I'm so scared to do it but I feel like it will be my best choice down the road. I really want to go to the gym before my mornings but I can't make myself wake up at 5am :( any tips??
You should definitely get LASIK! The whole process is less than 15 minutes and you're in and out and it's amazing that I can see clearly without glasses or contacts now. And you don't need to wake up at 5 am for the gym if that doesn't work for you. I would suggest just squeezing in a workout based around your schedule and you really only need 30 mins to an hour max :)
I loved learning more about you! This was such a fun post. I had no idea that you had Lasik! I bet that was life changing. I honestly love wearing my glasses, but sometimes I think about what it would be like if I didn't have to anymore haha.
I felt like it was extremely annoying just for my lifestyle since I go to the gym and travel a lot. Ever since I got it done, I don't even remember what it was like wearing glasses and so happy about that!
I also can't tread water, but I can sidestroke and backstroke with ease. I also can't doggy paddle haha. Maybe I can tread water, but I'm just too chicken to try it on the deep end. You're not alone!
Thank you so much for sharing this my dear! It's so awesome to be able to know more about fellow bloggers. I also really love this dress!! It's so feminine and chic.

Thanks Kate!
Loved reading this and getting to know you better. I am a middle child too and my older sister and I are 14 months apart! I can't believe you exercise five days a week that's so impressive and inspirational! I also got Lasik a few years ago and absolutely love it. Good to know about all your allergies and aversions and I love avocado toast too although brunch is my fav meal! Thanks for sharing this about yourself. Xoxo, Christine http://dailykongfidence.com/

Thank you! Fitness has always been part of my lifestyle so I don't look at it as an obligation.
