Welcome to Unfiltered Perspectives!

My name is Shauna and I hail from a small town in Connecticut. I have been an online blogger/content provider since January 2010. I am entering my late-30s and I am a mom to a 1 year old boy. As stated on the front page, I am a student of life and love a wide variety of topics. I love adding my opinions on many topics, and I love writing about things that I've learned during the day. 
​When I am not writing, I spend time with my son, family, and friends. I love to cook, read, catch up on sleep (LOL), and be outdoors.
​
Facts about me:
  • I am a secret reality TV fanatic (watch out for Bachelor Nation posts!)
  • My son is my best friend.
  • Faith is very important to me.
  • Before I found out that I was having a boy, I hoped for a girl. When I was told I was having a boy, I was shocked for half a second, and then I became excited. Hormones are weird! LOL!
  • ​I am a HUGE fan of WWE (and I mean HUGE! I can talk all things WWE for hours!)
  • ​My cat is literally my best friend. She is 17-years-old and has been by my side during some rough times. No matter what, she loves me unconditionally. Humans are never that cool.
  • ​I am obsessed with tiny homes.
  • ​I have the worst luck when it comes to love, but I still have a lot to say about the subject.
  • I am a fan of country, alternative, metal, and rock music. Occasionally I listen to 90s boy bands (I'm a sucker for NKOTB, been a fan of theirs since 1990).
  • My all-time favorite song is "Don't Stop Believin,' by Journey
  • When I was younger, I was a fan of Menudo.
  • I am an earth science geek, and I have my high school's science center pin to prove it. I was a part of that club for two years. 
  • I really am unfiltered in my thoughts and opinions. I've always said things no one else would have the testicular fortitude to say, and I sometimes don't think before I speak. Even I get surprised by the things that come out of my mouth lol!
  • My first celeb crush was on Wil Wheaton from Star Trek: The Next Generation. 
  • I went through a goth phase in high school. While I'm not proud of that phase, I did produce some kick a** poetry. 
  • I'm obsessed with dieting and working out.
  • According to my DNA ancestry kit results, I'm 99.9% European (English, Irish, Swedish, German, Austrian, and Portuguese), and 0.1% sub-Saharan African.
