20 Things About Me

Happy Monday everyone and welcome to my first blog post. I don’t know if i'll be able to keep up with a blog, but I wanted the first one to be a little bit about me and introducing myself to you all. So hello, my name is Natasha and I am the person behind BURDLIFE. BURDLIFE truly has been such a wonderful journey that I never thought in a million years would be what it is now. The people I have met through this and a sense of pride you feel from it becoming your identity is beyond unimaginable. So here’s to…

 

1. BurdLife started 2 years ago during a challenging time in my life. (Perhaps more on this one day). And for the ones who always ask, BURD means a young lady in Scottish and her life. It is every girl out there and her tiny box of jewelry. (I am super cheesy, so duh)
2. I am a black and white kind of a person. Either I love something or I absolutely hate it. There is nothing grey in my life.
3. I have a fear of being sad! So much so that I cannot make myself listen to sad songs or watch a sad movie. I will do everything in my power to not be around sad people either.
4. I love adventure! I cannot stay at home and chill. I always want to do an activity and be on the move. I also get bored real quick.
5. I cannot focus on one thing! Just cannot and therefore I almost don’t get anything done in a day. Possibly the hardest part in working for yourself & BURDLIFE journey.
6. I cannot have 100 unread emails or notifications on my phone! I have to read and reply to every email or text as soon as received or I'll never respond and quite possibly forget all about it.
7. Favorite color WHITE! If I could have an entire wardrobe white I so would! 
8. Cannot stand rude or negative people. It’s the biggest turnoff for me.
9. I am possibly too positive about everything and I know it annoys many people, but you cannot have a burning candle and not light other candles too. You just cannot.
10. I’ll be your biggest cheerleader. Nothing fills my heart more than seeing the people I love happy and thriving at whatever they do.
11. I love people way too quickly and let go of what is not working quickly too. I don’t have a habit of missing people or things too much.
12. I love online shopping! Absolutely addicted and I think that's how BURDLIFE came about too! I just wanted to provide people with easy convenient hassle free Jewelry shopping! I take too much pride in our customer service! If you ever need an answer at 2 in the morning, I'll be there to answer all your questions and demo our jewelry too!
13. Love salads and green juices.
14. If you like hiking, then we can be best friends.
15. I love story telling. I can talk for hours and laugh endlessly.
16. All my best friends first found me super annoying cause of my obnoxious laugh and loud personality, quite honestly I would find it annoying too, but they love me now.
17. I love working out and trying out new classes. From yoga to aerobics to soul cycle, I’ll be the first person to sign up for them all.
18. I believe in Allah 100% and maybe that’s why I don’t stress over things at all. He is the best planner and his plans never fail to surprise me.
19. I find it really hard to share my secrets or life with the people I know, but strangers I meet on the plane or randomly at a coffee shop they’ll know them all.
20. I believe happiness, faith and laughter is the cure for everything. Life is not hard only we make it too complicated.

 

I truly want to thank every soul out there who has trusted and believed in BURDLIFE. You don’t understand how you have helped me become a better person and touch my heart with your kind comments and excitement for all the pieces. I feel so blessed to be able to do what I love doing most and meeting you all in person just makes my heart the happiest. Love you all so much and thank you for EVERYTHING!
