about virgo

I was born in september so that makes me a virgo.

Here are some interesting things to know about the virgo:

Scorpios and aquarius do not get along with virgos. Geminis should stay far away from virgos. Aries appreciate virgos for their perserverance.

- Virgos have a tendency to have a mean temper. - this me to a tee. i am soooooo mean at times but for the most part we are just misunderstood.
- Cancerians and capricorns share perfectionism with virgos. - I tend to be a perfectionist at times.
- They love to experiment with food. - this is where this might not describe me too much. I am very simple when it comes to food. I do not like variety...not really anyway. I like to pair weird things so if you consider this experimenting then ok.
- love to hear that we are right. however, we can easily accept we are wrong. - I loveeeeeeeeeeee love love being right. however, if i am wrong, like my sign says, i can accept it. but just be honest about it and tell me up front i am wrong.
- they generally have stomach problems and high cholesterol mostly due to how much they worry.
-We are not as physically destructive as Taurus but we can do damage with words. - oh my gosh. this is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo me. my words are harsh but i speak the truth. i have been know to say it like it is.
- We like to organize things just so they look good.
- making money is our passion and we find ways to lead a lavish lifestyle. - i love a lavish lifestyle and hopefully i can afford it when i am out of college.
- we get deep into conversations so we can be center of attention. - hahahaahah my friend Eric always tells me i get deep into convos. i guess its true.
- we tend to guard our reputations like gold. - I defend my rep til deaths end. its sooo true.
- we are usually irritable. - this characteristic could not describe me better. I am always sooooooo irritable. like all the time. i have violent mood swings.
- we believe we can get away with almost anything.
- our greatest strength is our ability to focus attention.



Some celebrities who share my sign include: Nicole Richie, Leann Rimes, Jimmy Falon, Stephen King, Ryan Phillippe, Cameron Diaz and Adam Sandler.

about me

My name is Yasmien but as you can tell I prefer Mia. I am nineteen years old (when I wrote this). I grew up in a very diverse family. I have an american-born mom of European descent (irish, scotish and english) and a father of Middle Eastern descent (saudi arabian and egyptian). Life as their child has not always been easy when it comes to decisions because well my mom is Christian and my dad is Muslim. However, I have the best of both worlds. I am a vegetarian by choice. That started at the age of eleven. I went vegan for several months but realized i loved cheese far too much...the real cheese not that soy stuff (although I do enjoy some soy). I am an easy-going, down to earth girl who just loves to try everything once. I speak three languages and I am currently working on my fourth and fifth. I enjoy jetskiing, baking, tanning, travelling and being me.

I created this blog so I can just post my thoughts, opinions, ideas and view points! I welcome any feedback, criticism, encouragement, responses, debates etc to my blogs. I am just doing this for fun and my blog will include everything from food, fashion, culture, and life as I view it from my eyes. I hope everyone enjoys reading it!!!!!

Have a great day!!!

Live laugh and love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
