Hello there.

 First post! My name is Anneka Bjorkeson and I'm 19 years old. I live in Providence Rhode Island, and am studying Industrial Design and the Rhode Island School of Design. I have lived a healthy life, exercise often, and eating well; this blog will serve as a resource of exercise tips / routines, healthy recipes, and other lifestyle information. My initial though was to just make a binder with magazine clip outs and printed out recipes, but a blog is available to me wherever I am, and I'm not wasting paper! (I'm also a bit of an environmentalist).

So, a little bit more about myself... I currently have a part-time sales job at Athleta, so I'm ultimately wearing workout clothes 80% of the time. They seriously have the most comfortable and stylish active wear (and some cute casual wear too)! 

I love, love to travel. My dad is from Sweden, and I lived their for a few of my high school years, so this made exploring Europe much more tangible. I may have some un realistic expectations of how much I will be able to travel in the near future, but that's alright! Also, living in Sweden and spending my summers there has caused me to fall in love with the Nordic way of life, culture and weather. Skiing, boating, horse-back riding, hiking.. LOVE!

I'm a foodie.. always have been, always will be. Every since I was little, I've loved to eat! But, I'm lactose intolerant  and have a bit of a sensitive stomach, so I can't eat everything. One of my newest hobbies is cooking and experimenting with all of natures flavors! I'm a bit of a health freak, some may say.. but that's what makes me feel good! I want this blog to serve as place for me to organize recipes and ideas that I have so that I can make them again later.
