10 of My Unpopular Opinions


How's everyone holding up? About 4 weeks in and I'm so fortunate to be keeping busy with work, but have been very uninspired to post. I've seen this unpopular opinions post going around on Facebook, my friend's group chat discussed it last week, and What Nicole Wore made a whole post about her unpopular opinions...so I thought it would be fun to do the same! Here are 10 seemingly popular things that I do not agree with, from food to fashion choices.

1. In TV and movies: I'm not a fan of most reality TV (cannot watch The Bachelor franchise but did like Love is Blind), horror movies, superhero and the big fantasy franchises like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, etc. I know those are very different categories to put together, but I just don't see the appeal to any of them.

2. When it comes to food, I don't like: onions, peppers, bananas, coconut, and nuts when they are added to desserts. Maybe I'm just still a picky eater at 26, but adding any of those ingredients ruins any food in my opinion.

3. As far as drinks are concerned: coffee never needs any additives (this was an acquired taste, but now I can never go back), I love just plain water, and I would always prefer vodka or gin over tequila.

4. I'm not a big fan of theme parks. I get motion sickness, so the idea of waiting in long lines in the heat to possibly puke at the end just isn't my idea of a good time. I enjoyed the whole environment of them when I was younger, but I still didn't go on any big roller coasters. I now just see them as a far from ideal way to spend a lot of money.

5. I only like to read books in airports and near a beach or pool. I read a lot growing up, but fell out of it when was I was in high school/college from the reading I had to do for classes. I really would like to read more...but I would just rather do so many other things unless I am waiting on a flight or hanging out by the water.

6. As much as I love fitness classes, I just can't get in to cycling classes or running. I just never developed the cardio for either one. I sort of blame ballet because it is structured to either be a marathon of slow movements or quick bursts of really fasts ones. 

7. I prefer listening to podcasts rather than music while driving. I couldn't tell you the last time I put a playlist together, I opened Spotify for the first time in quite awhile when I started working from home a few weeks ago.

8. This is very blogger specific, but I just can't talk to my phone on Instagram stories. I don't feel like I have anything important enough to say, and I rarely ever have sound on my phone. So I don't watch a lot of other creator's talking stories either, with the exception of friends and some of my favorite accounts.

9. Also very anti-blogger of me, I could think of so many better ways to spend the money it would cost to buy a bag or pair of shoes from a high-end designer. You could take a trip, buy a nice camera, get tickets to quite a few concerts or performances. Even if you buy pre-owned of a top name designer, I could still take the same amount of money and buy 2-4 bags or pairs of shoes from a mid-range designer that still makes great quality products.

10. I paint my own nails (except for a few times a year), don't dye my hair, and have never had any interest in getting things like eyelash extensions, Botox, fillers, etc. done.  Just personal preference, which I have to say I'm pretty happy about while quarantined!


Thanks for reading!
