Blog Turns Two

Well here we are, celebrating because the blog turns two today! Wow, where did the past two years go? I started A Life Well Consumed to share with my friends and family the latest places to eat in Vancouver, design inspiration, my travels and recipes.

Because it’s a birthday, I had to buy a cupcake and candles. Right? Isn’t that what everyone does? I for one, did not predict how well the blog is going at two years in. I have the privilege to have worked and working on future projects with great brands and fellow bloggers. I’ve met some new friends at blogging and on social media, attended a blogging conference, attending quite a few fun events (and more in the future!), have had fantastic products arrive on my doorstep and support for my personal life.

My favourite thing about blogging is making all these fantastic friendships online and if I’m lucky in person! When I attend an event, I see a few familiar faces now, but there is that thrill on if I’ll make a new connection.

I also really enjoy sharing my style, beauty and travel inspirations and ideas. Recipe development is also a passion of mine, it really should be since I have a massive cookbook collection. I’m on my way to compete with Nigella!

My social media channels bring me amazing followers and daily inspiration for my life. And now Instagram introduced their version of Snapchat which I love. This is a great way to engage all of your followers instead of trying to get people to follow you on Snapchat.

I am guilty of this as well, I follow so many amazing people on Instagram, but easily forget to find them on Snapchat. This way it’s 2 for 1!

This year’s goals are: video, beauty tutorials, travel guides and more!
I want to get into video and start producing recipes, travel videos and more! This is a medium I’m really excited to delve into. If you have any requests on topics you’d like me to cover, comment below!

I also want to start doing more beauty tutorials, fashion posts with pictures of myself, more travel guides (really need to get my Euro ones up stat!) and fun DIY projects. I have about a dozen or so bookmarked and sorted, just have to find the time to sit down and finish them.

So here is to another two fantastic years for A Life Well Consumed! I hope you will continue to follow the adventures on here to come. Please subscribe with your email on the right, that way you can receive daily content to your inbox. I will also be introducing freebies and extra content into my newsletters in the near future.

Thanks for all the support and love these past two years! xo
