6 Secrets about me and 6 things you may not know about me

I have been tagged by three bloggy and twitter friends:

by Laurie from Through the Looking Glass
Renee from Cutie Booty Cakes
Baby Friendly LA



I need to share 6 secrets or 6 things you may not know about me.


1. I make way too much jewelry for myself. So when someone makes a purchase they are supporting my habit. Here is my latest creation.





2. I am a master at getting stains out of clothes and actually find it a good challenge. Give me a stain and it will be gone.


3. I love those teenage TV shows like Gossip Girl, Privileged (this one is new and love it) and didn't miss an episode of The OC


4. I could spend hours people watching, I just find it fascinating.


5. A co-worker and I won a month long Fuse Ball championship at my past job. I was the Branch Manager and wanted to encourage some fun in the office so we decided to have a tournament. We use to play during lunch, so picture me in my suit and heels spinning away. I kept hearing "I can't believe Kristen beat us!" I am a little competitive, so there is another secret.

6. I am also very good at laser tag and video games, I play to win.
