GET TO KNOW CHANEL WITH THESE FIVE FUN FACTS:
1. A Passion for Tennis
Chanel enjoys playing tennis with her friends and in a league. She tries to play at least once a week. It’s truly a lifelong sport, and she says the local tennis community is extremely welcoming and friendly!
2. Friends Fan
Chanel’s favorite show is “Friends.” No matter how many times she watches the episodes, she finds herself chuckling at the jokes she knows are coming. It’s her favorite show to have on as white noise.
3. Can’t Live without Nemu
Chanel can’t do without her cat, Nemu. Nemu’s personality is similar to a dog – very loving, needy and always follows Chanel around. Nemu also makes the cutest poses! Chanel and her fiancé met their little fur baby and her foster mom at the Hawaiian Humane Society with no intention of adopting that day, but Nemu wormed herself into both of their hearts.
4. Obsession with Bears
Chanel loves buying things with bears on them. She owns a few bear plushies, a polar bear cup, and bear shaped coasters. When she buys honey, it must be the one shaped like a bear. No bear shape, she won’t buy it!
5. Fishing for Happiness
Chanel’s happy place is an entire building with endless rows of crane games with the cutest prizes. She says there’s nothing like the feeling you get from that claw finally dropping your plushie into the dispensary. It’s addicting. She once spent all the yen she had on hand at crane games in Japan, and her roommate at the time “donated” some yen to her so she could continue to play.
