I am a 20-something living in Columbia, Missouri. Born and raised in the Chicago area, Columbia has been somewhat of an adjust for me. Living in Northern Illinois all my life, I really feel that I was living in a bubble. Even though living away from family and friends is difficult, it has actually put life into perspective for me. It has really made me appreciate the family and friends I have. Moving also shows you who your true family and friends area - so does getting married now that I think of it. I count my blessings every day for an amazing husband, a supportive and loving family, and some of the greatest friends any girl could ask for!My purpose in creating this blog is mainly for self-improvement in all aspects of life with my main focus currently being fitness & health! I feel like I have always somewhat struggled with weight and self image issues like most other women I know. I'm sick of obsessing over calories, exercising like crazy and constantly weighing myself.
A few of my goals in having this blog are to hopefully interact with other people like myself to stay motivated to maintain a healthier/happier lifestyle; exchange healthy, fun recipes and exercises; and discuss anything fashion related. I forgot to mention I have a shopping problem. My main goal is to make a lifestyle change through healthier eating, simple exercising, staying active and enjoying life! I've also recently become somewhat of a DIYer. Although this is a new hobby, I've come to really enjoy it and can't wait to share some of my recent projects with more to come in the future. I really hope to have a lot of fun with this blog and be inspired by other people along the way. To be honest, maybe nothing will become of this blog and it's just a passing thought or maybe it will become one of the greatest things I've ever done! Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you!
