About Me
My love for style & health goes back a good 10 years.
When it comes to style, what made me fall so in love with it was realizing that clothes made me feel something. That they had the power to make me feel more confident, more beautiful, more secure.
Clothes are a creative outlet for me – they are like aesthetic building blocks ready to help me make something out of nothing.
They are tools that I can use to create something beautiful. To feel beautiful. And this always inspired me.
As with everything, my style has grown and evolved over time but the one thing that has remained constant is my love and appreciation for clothes.
I feel like I can’t talk to you about style without explaining and expressing my feelings around beauty because the two are absolutely intertwined…
Basically: I feel like beauty is judged quite harshly. People say it’s meaningless, superficial, fleeting.
People say to seek beauty is to be vain. To be shallow.
But I personally feel differently…
I feel like beauty is something we all deserve to have in our lives. Because beauty adds to the richness of our lives.
To appreciate life is to appreciate beauty because, well… beauty is all around us.
It’s in the sound of rain.
It’s in the sensation of sunlight hitting bare skin.
It’s in the first sip of coffee.
It’s in freshly washed sheets.
It’s in the ocean’s waves as they hit the shore.
It’s in every kiss, in every hug, in every smile.
It’s in your mother’s eyes.
It’s in your father’s laugh.
It’s in the artist’s paintbrush and on the singer’s lips.
So… to me, a life without beauty is a life incomplete.
As for health –
My love for it came when I was in middle school.
My mom was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition and seeing her have to transform her lifestyle completely in order to heal made me realize the true importance of health.
So, my mother’s journey sparked my own.
I started learning more about food, and how deeply it impacts our health. I experimented with different eating styles and to this day I have tried: Paleo, Keto, Vegan, Low-Fat Vegan, Food Combining, and Sugar-Free Diets.
I have gone through similar experimentation with movement as well – going from little to no workouts, to working out at a high-intensity level 5-6 days per week, to lifting weights, to running, to Yoga, to Pilates.
What I’ve learned throughout this whole experience is that health will look different for everyone.
And the best way to know what health will look like for you is to first learn about the true foundations of health – and then follow your own intuition.
