BEHIND THE BLOG

Started in December of 2018, 'qualm down' is a personal blog dedicated to bringing its readers a fresh outlook on life. My hope is that this space motivates you to be yourself, aspire to greatness, think outside the box, and get out of your comfort zone!

​

All my life, I have enjoyed various creative outlets. Dancing, painting, drawing, singing, acting, you name it. I especially loved to write. Extroverted and curious by nature, I knew I loved engaging with others. I also knew I loved to express myself through language. But I never thought to combine these passions until 2017.

 

Turning my dreams into reality was not easy. Prioritizing my mental health prevented me from starting my blog for over a year. Focused largely on wellness and self-care during 2018, I began to write more, finding it therapeutic. I also began reading more blogs to discover my style. One thing I noticed was the need for fresh content. Lifestyle blogs typically feature travel, food, fashion, etc. but sometimes fail to include wellness, especially controversial topics like mental health.

 

Wellness — both inside & out — is key to success, and mental health is no exception. Many people consider mental health issues to be taboo, but I believe we should end the stigma! For this reason, I have decided to write about a variety of topics that matter to me, and yes, that includes self-care and wellness.

 

I am overjoyed that my lifestyle blog will feature posts on both traditional and unconventional topics, as the whole point of a blog is to share an authentic glimpse into my life! Now that I have overcome my worries & doubts, or qualms, I am proud to begin this journey.  Entitled 'qualm down,’ the name of my blog is a nod to anyone who finds the courage to dream big & conquer their fears.

Happy reading,
