PopFitLife: About Me

25th Birthday Party, February 2012

Hey, everyone! Welcome to my blog. I am a twenty-six year old living in Stamford, Connecticut, but my hometown is Atlanta, Georgia. I am currently just trying to find a place in this world - not sure where that will lead me, but I am ready for the adventure! To make this short and sweet, I am going to type 25 things you don't know about me a la Us Weekly.

25 Things You Don't Know About Me
