About

Hello and welcome to my little place on the internet! If you have any questions, you can email me at wearingmascara@gmail.com.

I started this blog in August 2008 because I’ve always secretly wanted to start a blog and I’m obsessed with everything technology related. At the beginning, this blog talked about random things connected to my day-to-day life. As this it has evolved and changed, so have I. My focus on life now is to be happy and healthy. In the past, I’ve struggled with body image issues, not exercising right, and emotional eating. It’s still a day to day process but I’m exactly where I need to be.

On my road to become both happy and healthy, I have discovered an intense love for running. Yes, me. The one who could never run around a track growing up. Me, the one who was overweight in middle and high school and thought the best cardio was snacking on the couch while watching after-school specials. Please click the Running tab to find out more about my running journey and how I got started.

While I would like this blog to be directed towards living a happy and healthy lifestyle, I don’t think I’ll be documenting everything I eat – at least not right now. For now, I’d like to just post about positive experiences. It’s my opinion that in order to achieve you’re optimal health, you must work on every aspect of your life – not just what goes in your mouth.

Currently, I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania after living in Washington, DC for 3-years. I was born in Pittsburgh so I’m happy to be back, but I miss DC constantly. Mostly because my best friends are there as well as my boyfriend Dan. We’ve been dating for 4 (!!!!) years and we have a fantastic relationship. He’s honestly my best friend and I don’t know what I would do without him.

I love to take pictures too but I’m not going to act like a professional because I’m far from it. For this blog, you’ll see a mix of pictures from my Nikon D40 (usually the good ones!) and my Canon SD600 (a point and shoot).

Well, that’s about it for now. This About page was updated on March 16, 2010 and I can’t wait to see how it changes!
