About Me

My Story

I am a wife with two boys and I needed to find a way to get out of my head. I used to love reading when I was younger and I realized I could really use an escape. It started off by reading the nostalgic group; Twilight, Hunger Games, and Time Travelers Wife. Then I really started getting into it when I found book journaling. I have never loved something so much and I finally got to see my creativity come to life. Plus, I saw all of what I accomplished in one year! It’s only grown since then and people had started to ask me for book recommendations. I could not keep my mouth shut and I would be so excited to tell them everything (plus more).

Then came the food! I am half Indonesian and half Puerto Rican. I had an amazing Oma, Nana, and my mom to teach me such delicious dishes. I had to learn all of the recipes because we ended up moving away or vise versa. My husband adores my cooking and mom appreciates the time off when I cook the family dishes for her. When we go out to eat tho, GAME ON. We love trying new restaurants for celebrating big accomplishments or heck just a date night.

Fitness has been part of my life since high school. Actually working out to play volleyball. After that, weight fluctuated. Then worked out again when I started to work for a fitness clothing store. Of course, weight fluctuated. I would do, Crossfit, yoga, boxing, walking, and pilates. Stayed fit and then KIDS. I am currently working on progressive overloads and I love it! Plus I am at the local YMCA and they kids play center, so my kids can come with.
