3.&nbsp; I love my skin.&nbsp; I struggled with acne half my life \u2013 but something happened after I had kids.&nbsp; Ha, a good thing \u2013 my skin cleared up and it has really never looked better.&nbsp;  4.&nbsp; I love that I clean up really well.&nbsp; I spend so much time in yoga pants and baseball caps \u2013 admittedly, it\u2019s just easier and I\u2019m all about comfort \u2013 but I don\u2019t know if if was all those years of collecting makeup instead of kid\u2019s clothes or just the love of all things girly, but I enjoy a good \u201cgetting ready to go out\u201d process.&nbsp;  5.&nbsp; I think that I have pretty great style (ignore the words yoga\/pants\/baseball\/cap). 6.&nbsp; I think I\u2019m pretty funny.&nbsp; And I tell a great story.&nbsp; Especially after a glass of wine or two. 7.&nbsp; I\u2019m fiercely loyal. 8.&nbsp; I\u2019m a great gift giver.&nbsp; I LOVE giving gifts.&nbsp; It is truly one of my most favorite things to do, ever. 9.&nbsp; After all the crazy squats I\u2019ve done over the past 4 months \u2013 I am proud to say that my quads are rock solid!!&nbsp; Woot!!
