Bet You Didn’t Know Tag: Random Facts About Me
October 22, 2019I’ll admit it: I love reading “get to know me” tags from other bloggers, but they actually scare me. I’m pretty coy when it comes to my personal life, so sharing facts about me can sometimes feel intimidating. Nevertheless, I was elated when the lovely, Sarah, (creator of A Woman’s Confidence) tagged me to participate in the Bet You Didn’t Know Tag. This tag was created by Jenni over at Housewife Hustle.
Please keep reading to learn seven random facts about me!
Seven Random Facts About Me
- The Newbury Girl is not my first blogging endeavor. | I originally launched my first blog in 2016, Looks from Lash Night However, I quickly fell out of love with it. When I came back to the blogging world in February 2018 my blog was initially called SustainingU. Finally, I rebranded to The Newbury Girl in July 2018. For my full blog story click here.
- My dream is to be a CMO for a major beauty brand. | I’ve been beauty obsessed since I was twelve years old. This was well before the days when YouTube and social media made it accessible and easy to learn about makeup techniques. Eventually, that passion evolved from wanting to be a makeup artist to wanting to in the beauty business.
- Hayley Williams (of Paramore) was my ultimate style & beauty icon. | Were you an alternative kid if you didn’t want to either (a) be Hayley Williams or (b) date her? With her powerful vocals, bright red-orange hair, eclectic makeup, and fashion choices, she was my biggest influence on style.
- I’ve been to well over 100 concerts/festivals. | I love the rush of standing in the crowd, singing along to my favorite songs from my favorite musical artists. There’s such a magic to these experiences.
- I am a Christian. | I don’t often write about my faith on my blog, but I’ve been a follower of Jesus my whole life. My faith has been a major influence in my life. Also, it remains a source of strength and hope during my darkest times.
- I am an (awkward) extrovert. | Although I am relatively
shy(*cough, cough* awkward), I am very extroverted. I love being around people and connecting with others. If given the opportunity, I will happily chat your ear off. - I am Ross + Monica + Chandler. | If I’m being honest, I couldn’t stand the show, Friends, until this year. However, as I’ve worked my way through the show, I’ve come to the realization that I can relate to various aspects of each character’s personality and quirks, but realistically I feel I am a combination of Ross (nerdy desire to learn and know-it-all tendencies), Monica (Type A personality and obsession with cleaning/organization), and Chandler (quick mouth and use of humor to deflect).

Love this post! And yes – Hayley Williams was my ultimate girl crush/ style icon when I was younger! xx
She’s such a badass!! 💜
Wow 100 concents/festivals! That is awesome. I love the concert feelings too! Everyone jumping, dancing or singing to music together is the best. What has been your favorite one? xx
Ahh that is SO hard because each one feels so unique and there is something special to it. Believe it or not, The Goo Goo Dolls always put on a great show!! 🙈
This was great, LP! Love all the concerts you’ve been to and I hope your big dream comes true!
Thank you so much! 💜
Just *casually* obsessed with that picture of you! I love to see your face more, you’re so beautiful!
Ahhhh thank you gal! 💜 I’m so shy but maybe I’ll show my face more in the future!!
Wow, this is a really interesting to read! And I hope you are well on your way to being a CMO for a brand you are passionate about or maybe even founded by yourself!? hehe! I love that Hayley is your icon, she is so unique and abstract, I don’t think I have the right head for such originality and boldness! I’m definitely an introvert where i love to hear people talk but hate it when they start asking me questions.
She was such an inspiration for me growing up!! 💜 Hopefully my grad degree will help me get to my dream job!
Keep going and keep trying no matter what! I am confident you will get there, no doubt! 😊
Love getting to know more about you!

Loveee her – she was def 💯 goals when I was younger! 💜
It was great reading this!! I believe you will reach that goal of being a CMO of a beauty brand, you are sooo destined for it girl!! Hahah these were really interesting facts about you, love it!!
Ahhh thanks girl – I hope I can make it! 💜
It was so interesting learning more about you and I was totally obsessed with Hayley William’s style too! I even cut my hair like her and everything!
Oh and thank you so much for the nomination!!!
Omg of course! This is a pretty new tag so I hoped it would be one you hadn’t done before! 💜
I haven’t done this one before so I’m super excited to try it out!
It was cool learning some more about you! I was also totally obsessed with Paramore back in the day haha
It breaks my heart how the band ended up but I suppose all good things must come to an end. Still hopeful that they’ll release new music that sounds a little more reminiscent to their original sound!
Fab post! Totally relate to being an awkward extrovert 💕

Much love always,

ahhh thank you, girl!!! I’m so shy to share photos of myself. I understand the blog dread – sometimes I look at my blog or think of working on it and think of it like homework.
Ahhh thanks for thinking of me! I will get to this on my blog eventually– I talk about myself so much it’s gonna hard to think up facts I haven’t already shared.
I used to love Hayley Williams when I was a teen, too & I hope your dreams of becoming a CMO come true. 😊 Always love learning more about you, LP! 💖
lol no worries at all – I’m always slow to do any tag posts. For me, it was a challenge to think about what I was comfortable sharing!
