Self-Description: Being a Libra, I'm supposed to be balanced. Well, I am. I'm either
extremely full of energy or I'm not - it all balances out in the end. :) I'm
fairly outgoing at times, and introverted at others. Depends on my energy level
at the time. I love helping people, although it can wear me out if I'm not
careful to conserve myself. I really put my all into everything I'm interested
in. Either I do something or I don't. That's that. There's no in-between for
me. I try my best to be fair and calm with people. It takes a lot to get me
mad, and when I am, I can usually calm down fairly quickly.
Ironically, I don't
think there is any Irish in me at all. My mother is Finnish and Hungarian, my
father is French and Italian. What a combination! I have one cousin (my
mother's niece) that has red hair - the same shade as mine. Nobody knows of any
other family members with red hair. We're the oddballs - lucky us! I didn't
really start to appreciate my haircolour until recently. Growing up, people
always told me how nice my hair is, I was kind-of embarrassed to be red. Now I'd
never trade it in for anything. Glad I've never tried to dye it another colour.
:) My parents and sister call me Princess. I guess it's because I usually get
what I want - I'm not spoiled in any way, though. I just don't believe in doing
things that don't interest me. I always had my head in the clouds as a kid. I
still do now, most of the time. :)
Interests: One of my favourite interests is health care. Specifically all
things natural. Once I earn my Nursing Degree, I plan on attending the
Naturopathic College in Canada to become a Naturopathic Doctor. My friends are
always teasing me about "all my natural stuff" - why put synthetic material
into/onto your body when nature provides us with all we need? Writing about
natural supplements for people is something I also like to do. Why wouldn't I
enjoy teaching people about something I love?
Before I began my Nursing studies,
I went to a private school and was trained in Aromatherapy - the art and science
of using aromatic plant extracts. It really is such a beautiful thing. I use
essential oils every day. I also have a small product line that I retail
through the health food store that I work at. I enjoy making my own natural
cosmetics, and I'm starting to play around with making my own jewellery. I
enjoy shopping for antiques, collectibles, and things that are out of the
ordinary.
I love the outdoors - hiking especially. I think it's all of the
trees... I also enjoy photography. I have a thing for taking pictures of
frogs. I love their colours. :) One of my favourite parts of a hike is
discovering old deserted buildings in the middle of the woods. Old farms,
homesteads... you name it. The older the better. There's such a mystery to
them. :)
