LET ME RE-INTRODUCE MYSELF
MY BLOG IS ONE YEAR OLD TODAY! It is honestly crazy to say that. One year ago today I published my very first blog post and since then I have published a post almost every week and over 50 blog posts later here we are...
My blog was born from a curiosity of the whole blogging world, the desire to have a creative space, and a feeling in my heart that creating a blog was something I wanted to try. Along the way I have learned A LOT. First of all, running a blog, creating content, and trying to be successful at it is not easy. There is a lot of love and hard work that goes on behind the scenes so please don't underestimate the work that bloggers do! I thought that thinking of ideas for blog posts and then writing them would be hard enough but then I have to deal with things like Google Analytics which I am still trying to figure out...
Since starting my blog so many wonderful things have happened. I've gotten to work alongside so many amazing companies and people that I look up to. I'm a huge supporter of small and local businesses and some of my favourite blog posts are when I get to feature what makes them special and why I love them and why you should too. But my favourite thing about starting my blog are the connections I have made. I didn't appreciate Calgary as much as I do now because I have met some of the kindest, hard-working, and inspirational people in the entrepreneur community. Everyone is so supportive and it's a great group to be a part of, I'm also happy to call some of them friends. I also love that I am connecting with new people every day and hopefully teaching something through my stories and blog posts.
My blog has evolved so much and it keeps evolving with my life. I initially started as a lifestyle blog so that I had the freedom to talk about anything. But I really want my blog to stand out and have more of a focus and it's taken a while but I've finally figured out what truly gives my blog life. My blog is a natural extension of myself and my values really shine through in my blog so with that I would like to re-introduce myself...
Hi, I'm Zandra, I'm a sustainable and ethical lifestyle blogger passionate about showing the modern person how to navigate life while making conscious decisions and leaving a positive impact on the world. I want to share how you can live an ethical and sustainable lifestyle which includes eating a plant-based diet, being conscious of where your clothes come from, supporting local companies, choosing clean and cruelty-free cosmetics, and so much more. I want you to take care of yourself and the world we live in.
If you've been following my blog since the beginning or if this is your first time here, I want to say a huge thank you. My blog and everything in it comes straight from the heart and I hope that you come here with an open heart and mind and that something resonates with you.
I wanted to re-introduce myself because this next "chapter" in my blog will have a lot more focus and intention on my values which I'm very excited about. I love this new perspective in all aspects of my life and can't wait to share it!
