What you may not know...

...about Kira Terry.

I must put off a certain vibe that makes people believe I am not into a lot of things. Often people, even close friends, will be very surprised to hear I'm interested in specific things or like certain things. So I'm setting the record straight.

First, let me tell you a little about why I think people don't think I am into certain things. As a kid, despite my mother's effort to make me very girly, I was a tomboy. I played sports it seems like since I could run around on my own. Soccer & softball were the sports I shined in. I played both very competitively. I played softball till I was about in junior high & was a very talented pitcher. Soccer took me to a higher competitive role & I played in both high school & competition league as a right half who was very good. I chose to pursue a degree in journalism & focused my talent in sports writing, which I found was not a field where there were a lot of women, but I didn't care, I was going to do what I know I was meant to do. So yes, I was the girl who wore her hair up on a regular basis & dressed in jeans, t-shirts, and hoodies more for comfort than for style. So I believe I developed this image of, "Kira isn't a girly girl so she doesn't like clothes, shoes, girly things, crafts, sewing, etc, etc, etc." But I'm here to tell you, THAT IS NOT TRUE!! So, let me set the record straight. Here are some things you may not know about Kira Terry that may just shock you.

1. I have had a subscription to Marie Claire magazine for the last two years & I absolutely LOVE it when it comes each month. It's the best day of every month! I love the fashion.
2. My toenails are always painted. And yes, painting them reds/pinks are my favorites.
3. I DON'T hate pink, but I don't love purple. My pink sharpie is my favorite to write with.
4. I love shoes, I just choose to spend my money on other things most the time. But I think the amount of shoes (not including my running shoes) I have would surprise you.
5. I do like doing crafts, but I hate scrapbooking & yes, I can sew. Believe it or not I'm a very good seamstress - just ask my mom, she praises that about me.
6. My new favorite places to buy clothes are XXI (thanks to Elyse for introducing me to it) and H & M (thanks to Andrea for introducing me to that).
7. I love to cook & I love cooking shows.
8. I LOVE interior design. When I was in high school that's all I wanted to do.
9. I'm a huge art history buff. I absolutely LOVE museums & galleries. Ask me anything about art history & I could tell you the answer.
10. I have very expensive taste with A LOT of things. I always have to have the nicest things. A few examples: my jeans (very expensive), electronics (top of the line & newest), and groceries (I buy the expensive brands).

So there you go. I'm a lot more like you & a lot more girly than you think.
