Tell us more about you and your blog
I started Lefty Living Life in 2012 as a creative outlet. I was on the cusp of graduating from high school and didn’t know what direction I wanted my life to take. Throughout my time in college, my blog served not only as a way for me to explore writing but also as a way for me to explore fashion as I began to develop my own unique style. Now, as I pursue a career, Lefty Living Life has continued to help me express myself creatively through fashion, food, and my daily life.

What’s been your most memorable moment as a blogger?

Give us your best tip for maintaining a blog work/life balance?
