Hi! 👋🏻 It’s me, Leena! Can’t believe another Friday is here! ✨ I don’t know about you, but I feel like this week went fast! But since it’s Friday again, I wanted to post another #fridayintroductions to share some more fun/interesting/unnecessary facts about myself with you! 🤷🏼♀️So here we go!
1️⃣ I have this uncanny ability to remember song lyrics. And not just for songs I like, but like any song. Not saying I know the lyrics to every song, but I have surprised myself and many people with how many songs I know the lyrics to. Rap, country, oldies, pop, whatever - chances are I probably know it. I don’t know what I had for breakfast yesterday but I know all of the lyrics to at least two Ace of Base songs, so there’s that. If anyone knows an occupation that uses that skill, let me know, because I love 🎶 music.
2️⃣ When I was in junior high, I used to say one of my life goals was to meet everyone in the world. Seems somewhat impossible (maybe), but I just love meeting people and hearing their story and learning about their lives! Maybe that’s one of the reasons I was drawn to bring a chapter of @galsthatbrunch to MKE and started @galsthatbrunchmke.
3️⃣ One of my main bucket list items is to visit and take a picture 📸 in front of every state capitol building! I have a running list in my phone and a scratch-off map in my apartment to track my progress! I currently have 19, so I still have plenty of work to do and cities to see! Thankfully, I don’t mind!
4️⃣ I used to be a Yooper! If you don’t know what that means, it’s all good, but it means that I lived in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!
5️⃣ Though I don’t play any really anymore, I love sports. At some point in my life, I’ve played most of them. Soccer ⚽️ and tennis 🎾 are my main loves, but I also was in dance 💃🏼 , tee ball, cheerleading, volleyball 🏐, ultimate frisbee, ice skating ⛸, and basketball 🏀 at some point during my life. I’ve also fallen in love with golf as well! I really want to try curling 🥌 next!
Thanks again for being here! Now that you know a bit more about me, I’d love to learn more about you - share something that’s on your bucket list in the comments below!! #lifestyledbyleena
Seriously, Fall lasted like 20 minutes in Wisconsin, am I right? We’ve had inches of snow ❄️ already (it’s mostly melted, but still), and temps are dropping below freezing 🥶 in the next week. Time to get my hats, scarves 🧣, and winter jackets 🧥 out I guess.
Truth be told, I don’t mind it too much. But you can ask me again in February. #lifestyledbyleena #winterstyle #throwbackthursday #everydaymadewell
Happy Friday, lovelies!! 💕 It’s been a long time since I’ve done a #fridayintroduction so here we go!
1️⃣ My favorite movie 🎥 of all time is Pride & Prejudice and Keira Knightley is my favorite actress. She’s fabulous in everything she’s in, and I could watch this movie over and over anytime!
2️⃣ I am 100% Finnish 🇫🇮 (yet to be confirmed with a @23andme analysis) but that’s true as far as I know! I haven’t had a chance to visit Finland yet but I just ordered some books to help me learn the language and more about the culture!
3️⃣ I have four older brothers and four nephews, so needless to say, there’s a lot of great guys in my life! I wouldn’t mind a niece sometime soon though.
4️⃣ I love writing ✍️, which is probably why I started a blog. I have a few ideas 💡 started for books that I may or may not end up writing one day. But in the meantime, I enjoy spending my free time researching and writing blog articles!
5️⃣ I recently fell in love with the TV show @outlander_starz! Thanks to my ankle surgery, I’ve had a chance to try out some new shows, and this is one I’m thankful to have found! I love the historical aspects, mixed with a love story, and finished off with some action!
Thank you so much for being here and following along! I love being able to share my life and style with you here and through my blog! I believe in living a life that’s beautiful, full of passion, and full of kindness! I love hard and take advantage of any reason for a celebration! Though I can be shy, I love hearing people’s stories and learning more about others. I can’t wait to meet you (if I haven’t already) and get to know more about each of you as well! Introduce yourself in the comments below! ✨ #lifestyledbyleena #fridayvibes #fridayintroductions #milwaukeeblogger #midwestlife #everydaymadewell #itsbanana
