Writing has always been a thread of my identity, but it wasn't until last year that I decided to put my skills to work as a lifestyle blogger. You might be thinking, "what is your lifestyle, and why is it worth writing about and sharing"? The headline of my blog reads, "Just a gal trying to save my health and the planet" and I think this accurately sums up my purpose: I'm just an everyday person who is trying to do my part for the planet and live healthy and happy. It's about increasing my wellbeing and reducing my environmental footprint through simple everyday choices. However, it's about living comfortably too. That is, I still want to paint my nails and eat A&W once in a while too. Is it possible to achieve a balance of living responsibly and kindly while still engaging in mainstream culture? My answer is yes, definitely.
