Eating for Yourself: From Instagram to Blogging

Welcome to your one stop shop for good food, health and wellness, and travel tips

Hi! My name is Lauren Hodgins and I am the face behind @Eatingforyourself. I'm born and raised in Windsor, ON and currently live there for the time being. I love spending time outdoors, reading romance novels or books related to health/nutrition/natural medicine, moving my body preferably by running, lifting weights, and hot yoga.

I decided to start this blog because I wanted to be able to better connect with my friends from Instagram by way of storytelling and I wanted the liberty to be able to write longer posts about my travelling adventures, personal experiences and knowledge about the health and wellness world. Instagram is often portrayed as a highlight reel, and I hope by writing blog posts here, I can take the time and space to open up further beyond just a quick snippet of a picture. I am excited to tap into more of my creative/reflective self to be able to express myself in new ways, from the excitement of new travels to the sometimes difficult feelings of finding myself.

Once again, I cannot wait to connect with you all here. My aim is to foster an environment where our thoughts and questions are safe, and where we feel trusting enough to acknowledge that life isn't always a highlight reel.

I would love it if you all would be able to comment on which topics you'd like me to discuss. Like, comment or share with your friends!

Thanks a bunch,

Lauren
