About Me

Hey babes, welcome to May!  I can’t believe the summertime is almost here!  Thank goodness, right? To celebrate the warmer weather and to welcome all the new readers I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with over the last few months, I wanted to do a get-to-know-me post.  Let’s get started!

1.  My full name is Allison but I go by Alli!  Recently, I’ve had a lot of people on Instagram spell my name differently or call me a different name all together (like Allisan and Allisa) and I think it’s because my Instagram name is my first and last name combined (@allisantmyer) and people get confused because they don’t know my last name begins with the S.  I don’t mind though, it’s interesting to see what spelling variations people come up with!

2.  Mashed potatoes are my favorite food!  Specifically, the Bob Evans Original microwaveable mashed potatoes from the grocery store.  They are seriously SO GOOD.  Pair them with steak or chicken and broccoli and you’ve just made my homemade dream meal.

3.  For college, I went to James Madison University!  I graduated in December 2017 with a degree in Media Arts & Design and a concentration in Integrated Advertising & Corporate Communication.  While I was there, I was involved in a many different clubs and organizations and I had a great time!  Click here to check out my post about my JMU experience.

4.  I hate hate hate doing the dishes but I could vacuum or do laundry all day long.  I don’t know what it is about doing the dishes but a dishwasher will definitely be at the top of my list of things to look for next time I move.

5.  I work full-time at a marketing agency.  I’ve had a few people ask me if I blog full-time but nope!  I spend my days brainstorming and producing different projects for our various clients and it’s awesome!  Would you be interested in reading a post about what it’s like to work in the marketing and advertising industry?

6.  My favorite Netflix show right now is Gilmore Girls!  Over the last few years, some of my other favorites have been Friday Night Lights, New Girl, and 90210.  Gilmore Girls is so cute and relatable and I’m so glad there are so many seasons because I don’t have TV in my apartment so Netflix is all I got.

7.  At the end of the month, I’m going on a road trip to a state I’ve never been to before.  Any guesses?

8.  At some point in my life, I want to live in another state.  I’ve lived in Maryland my whole life (except the four years I lived in Virginia for college) and I want to experience something different.  I’ve thought about Arizona, Utah, or New Mexico.  Do any of you live there?

9.  My interior design style is a cross between mid-century modern, bohemian, and southwestern.  I’ve spent the last few months decorating my new apartment this way and it’s been so fun!  Click here to check out my living room and click here to check out my bedroom.  My office and kitchen reveals are coming next!

10.  Saturday is my favorite day of the week, especially now that I’m working a full-time job.  You can sleep in and still have plenty of time left in the day and you don’t have to worry about doing anything stressful the next day because it’ll still be the weekend!  What’s your favorite day of the week?

That’s all for this post!  I hope you learned a little something about me that you didn’t already know.  Next week, I’m thinking of writing some of my best tips for getting back into shape for the summertime.  Would you be interested in reading that?  Let me know in the comments.  Have a great week!
