Happy Monday lovelies!! It’s not always fun coming back off a weekend, especially when the one before was a long weekend, but it’s a short week around these parts and that makes things a little easier!! We had one of the most relaxing weekends and that just doesn’t lend itself to the most thrilling weekend recap – however since it’s been about a year since I did a “get to know me” post and it’s floating around the blogosphere- I thought it would be perfect for today!!
Name. Age. Location
The name is Biana (pronounced like Rhianna without the “R”) but my friends and family call me B! I’m 27 and I’ve lived in Boston since I graduated from the University of Florida 5 years ago!
Other Half
I married my husband Gary in March of 2013 and you can read all about our wedding here and here!
Working It
I graduated with a degree in Criminology and also have minors in Business and Mass Communications. After college I worked in Commercial Real Estate and then in Finance when I finally found my way to becoming a proposal coordinator at a law firm.
Hobbies
At this point I’d say blogging is by far my biggest hobby. Aside from that I love to play tennis – I played competitively for 12+ years and miss competing terribly! I also love to plan trips – like our recent European Adventure, find the best deals on my fashion obsessions and get manicures, you know the girly things in life!
Favorite Food
Without a doubt Sushi is my favorite food – I could eat it daily if mercury poisoning wasn’t a threat.
I’m also a big snacker ~ but that’s a whole different post!
Standard Bar Order
I have three orders that depend on what I’m doing!
If I’m trying to be fancy = Bellini
Night Out = Vodka Soda with two limes
Dinner or Relaxing = Riesling
Places I Shop
I love to shop for accessories and make-up – leaving the wardrobe purchases to my mom…she’s really the best shopper, but when I do shop at the mall I love Sephora, Ann Taylor, J.Crew & BCBG. I also can’t get enough of Marshall’s and TJ Maxx!
Beauty Products I Can’t Live Without
First and foremost – I can’t start my make-up routine without Garnier’s BB Cream! I also love this bronzer and this NYX lip gloss!
Bed Time & Wakeup
I’m a morning person and like to be up by 6:15 AM to get my workout in. I try to be in bed by 10:30 PM, with a little Big Bang Theory/Bravo on TV as I’m getting ready for bed.
What I Blog About
Being a lifestyle blogger I’m able to blog about anything I find interesting and what I think you’d find interesting which usually means you can find recipes, beauty reviews, fashion wants & everything in between here! If there is anything you want me to write about – feel free to let me know!
How I started Blogging/Why I Blog
I started reading blogs after I saw one of the “Southern Brides” featured on Southern Weddingshad a blog of her own! After talking about starting a blog for two years, Gary told me I should “just do it” and B~Loved Boston was born!
I blog because it brings me so much joy. I’ve learned so much in this past year not only from figuring out this “blogging” thing, but I’ve learned from you! I find inspiration everywhere; walking home from work, reading a magazine, trying a new recipe…everything stems back to the blog and above all else, it’s fun! I’m able to document moments of my life, things I’d probably forget if I didn’t have this to look back on!
I never realized how many wonderful people actually blog and I’m so grateful that I’ve “met” and connected with so many of you!! Amanda was one of the first bloggers I connected with via email and it’s amazing to me that this weekend we’ll be hanging out for the second time at our Alma Mater and can’t wait to meet Pamela on Saturday too!
So there you have it – a little bit more about me!!
Hope you all have a wonderful day!!
xo,

So fun, I love learning more about you :)!
I love these posts that give us a glimpse behind the blog! I'm totally a morning person too (as evidenced by the time of this comment haha) – my friends think I'm crazy when I've already gone to Trader Joe's, worked out, and blogged before heading into the office, but if I don't do it in the morning it will probably never get done!
Girl you're gorgeous! I just recently fell in love with Riesling. It's definitely my favorite of all of the wines I've tried.
I love these posts!! Excellent drinks choices and shopping choices 😉 Have so much fun this weekend!!!
This was the best post! I always love getting to know you and all our other blogger gals a little bit more. Thanks for sharing, and Happy Monday!
Okay freaky!! We have a very similar school/career track. I started in Criminology and ending up Majoring in Communication and now in Gov't Contracts/proposals. Love getting to know the little things we normally wouldn't know. Happy Monday!
loved this!! loved knowing more about you!
So fun! Ok, I think I need to do this sometime this week, I love getting to know everyone a little better! I had no idea you played tennis! I totally did in college… I'm not very good though, you'd probably kick my butt! 🙂 Happy Monday girl!
<3, Pamela

I'm so with you on the sushi and drinks- Riesling is my jam! And love that picture of you in the polka dot top- so cute!! xo
Love the get to know you post! So fun meeting bloggers in real life too! Love your shear black top with the polka dots.
Love this! Sushi is where it's at! 😉 love that you play tennis! My dad is a hugeeee tennis player and my brother use to so I grew up around tennis but never got into it myself haha I opted for an air conditioned dance studio! 😉 Happy Monday!

love this post! good to know i was pronouncing your name right, lol. you guys are going to have so much fun this weekend, jealous! mm sushi 🙂 fave!
I love this idea! Those are my top three favorite drinks whenever I go out too, pending situations that is. Sushi is amazing, I love it but I always pick the rice off around it.
Love getting to know you a bit more – these are great! I'm thinking I need to go shopping with your mama, for sure! Happy Monday girl!
Love your bar orders! I drink non-girlie drinks like scotch and Henessy but a good glass of wine is always great too! Oh and I love sushi!
It has been really great getting to know you. You're a beautiful, sweet, and all around fab lady!! 🙂 I also can't believe you are only 27! I must be the oldest blogger in this bunch haha. I may have to do a post like this too. Anyway, fun post and I hope that you had a wonderful weekend!! 🙂
i didnt realize you work at a law firm!! i worked at a law firm (and still do part-time remotely as a graphic designer) for 3 years in chicago. proposals are SOOO much work so good for you!! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Great post! I'm a new follower and enjoyed learning some of the basics about you. Your bedtime routine sounds a lot like mine haha!
Loved learning more about you – you are a beauty! Your blog is amazing and so happy I found your blog, your posts are always so fun to read xoxo
Loved learning more about you! I like how you have different drink orders depending on what you're doing. I kind of do the same thing and never realized it! We always have Big Bang on while getting ready for bed then lay in bed and watch Conan for 15 min or so!
Great post, loved learning about you. Beautiful pictures!! I too love going shopping with my mom. I'm such a morning person too. Happy Monday!!
The dress in the first picture! Where is it from? Sooo pretty! I still love that photo of you from from your birthday (?) or anniversary (?) with the black polka dot top! So gorgeous! So cool that you play tennis! I took a tennis class in college, and I was completely awful!
Girl let's brunch it out on bellinis!!!
Love that you did this post! That blue dress in the first picture is amazing. Happy Monday cupcake!
7:55 is your alarm? I've been at work for over an hour at that point.. that's depressing. I want more sleep in my life 🙂
This was great learning about you.
Always love learning more about my favorites! Have fun this weekend!!
Love getting to know you better and reading about what your "day job" is and how you got started blogging!! You do a great job engaging your readers and making everyone feel like that really know you!! 🙂
love reading more about you! and ohhhhhh yes i love some bellinis!
Great post idea! Love getting to know my blog friends more. 🙂
B! I love this post so much! I also call Taylor, T. Sushi is my favorite food also and I use Garnier's BB to begin my makeup routine as well almost like a primer.
Mmmm sushi! 😉 You know I'm a sushi lover too! But now the over-googler in me needs to google mercury poisoning! Yikes!
Aw how fun you'll get to meet Pamela, too! Loved reading this. Definite vodka+soda+extra lime gal, too (when wine is in need of a break, anyways!).
I am happy to report I knew like 95% of this so that make me happy! 😉 I really love how your drink order changes by what you're doing. I recently was exposed to Tito's vodka and water this weekend with lime and I was always scared of not having a mixer with it but it was really good! May need to have some of that this Saturday….in moderation of course 😉
So awesome that 3 of my favorite bloggers are all gonnna be hanging in florida! are you girls going to the game?! Are they playing in the swamp? haha. I love this get to know you post! You and I are so similar in our drink orders, I'm champage, vodka soda and cabernet. Happy Monday love!
fun post! I love learning more about my fav bloggers (:
I love "getting to know you" posts, it's always fun to learn more about people!
So fun to learn more about you! I also played tennis competitively…and I would love to eat sushi every day of my life! Haha. I hope you have a blast at the Florida game! 🙂
oh my gosh, seriously, this is getting borderline creepy but you are just so beautiful! great pictures, and of course we have a lot of things in common, SHOPPING being one of them in my favorite stores! i really want to go out now and order a bellini!
I always love posts like these. They're always full of fun facts that get lost in the shuffle of the big blogging game, so it's nice to get back to basics every once in a while! Glad you had a nice, quiet, relaxing weekend 🙂
So fun getting to know more about you! I love to learn more about other bloggers.
I love posts like this! You always learn so much. I watch Big Bang Theory most nights before bed too! And sushi! Mmmmmm how I love some sushi!
Also, I can proudly say I was pronouncing your name right 🙂 Have a great week!
Super pretty picture of you in the "bar photo". xoxoox
Such a fun feature! Love learning about you! XO

I always love learning more about you Biana (and the next time I see you I'm definitely calling you "B!")
I had no idea what originally inspired you to start your blog but am SO happy you did so that I had the chance to meet you.
Enjoy your short week and I cannot wait to see photos from Florida xo
You and Gary are the cutest! Teach me your ways of becoming a morning workout person! I really want to, but just can't seem to get up at 6 AM. Loved reading more about you friend 🙂
I am totally loving these posts, learning more about my blogger friends! Mine will be up this week too. I'm so glad B Loved Boston was born 🙂
LOVE getting to know you better!! Blogging really is the best for making connections! Wish I could come party this weekend 😉 You're going to have so much fun!
p.s. Eric and I went to Boston the last week of July and I fell in LOVE with that city! You are so lucky to live there!!
Love this post, such a good idea, I wish all bloggers would do this once in awhile! Seems a bit stalker-ish of me but I love learning more about my fellow bloggers!! How much fun do you have in Boston?! Visited there for one day before a cruise last year and loved it!!
What a beautiful post! I like everything about it.
xoxo

It is kinda cool to get to know bloggers. We start knowing each other and it feels like we live in the same state instead of across the country.
I LOVE sushi! I used to buy sushi grade salmon and prepare it at home. It has been a while since I have done it but it was really good.
oooh sushi is one of my favorites for sure!! yum!! you and gary are a great looking couple
I loved reading this and getting to know you a little better!! 🙂 I love sushi, too and I am all about ordering the bubbles when I go out for a drink! And your job sounds so interesting – and your college major too!

Vodka and Soda
So, so glad you blog! Yours is a daily read, of course! Hope you had the best weekend! xo
Hahahah… I love how you have different drinks depending on your mood!
I love reading other's people's stories. Your background is really interesting. I admire the fact that you blog everyday and hold down a full time job! And still get to bed at 10:30 and get up at six! You must be really organized! The blogging community is truly a joy and so inspiring and supportive! I'm so glad I discovered your creative corner of the internet 🙂

That wedding picture is my absolute favorite!! You are both glowing and just look so happy! Yay for blogging, sushi and all things girly 🙂
Oh I love this! It's always so nice and fascinating to hear about other bloggers, why they started, who they are, etc.

Such a fun post!!
Our bar orders are basically the same except I'll usually order a different wine with dinner. Fun getting to know you better!
Love this! For some reason, I totally picture you working in the fashion industry not a law firm! Haha 🙂 The first 2 pics in this post are my favorite! So pretty! I definitely couldn't live without BB cream either! 🙂 I totally agree with your statement about blogging and the people you meet! It definitely brings joy to our lives! 🙂
