Wow, how narcissistic of me to be writing 50 random facts about me.
But if you’re reading this… I guess you’re as interested in hearing them as I am writing them 😛
Funny thing: I originally wrote this 5 years ago (back in 2016), and while most of these things are still true, some of it is a little outdated.
I’ll put little notes beside anything that’s changed, ‘cuz 2021 Jess ain’t the same as 2016 Jess.
I know this tag is all over YouTube, but I thought I’d do a lil’ blog version for the fun of it.
Here are 50 random facts about me that you might not know already!
Be sure to also follow me on Instagram and TikTok – I share a lot more content on those platforms that don’t make it to the blog!
