Who Am I and Why Am I Starting a Blog?


About Me: My name is Jenna and I’m the creator of this blog. I’m originally from Rock Island, Illinois. It’s one of five cities in the Quad Cities in Illinois and Iowa. Yep, there’s five not four cities….Rock Island, Moline and East Moline, Illinois and Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa. The Quad Cities claim to fame is being the home of John Deere in Moline, Illinois. Located right where I-80 crosses the Mississippi River, that’s where I’m from….three hours west of Chicago. Go Cubs! I graduated from Illinois State University with a major in Public Relations (some would say that my major was rugby) and a minor in Spanish. Don't ask me to speak it...you know the saying, "If you don't use it, you lose it." It's so very, very true.

I’ve lived in Colorado for 9 years, 10 months in Boulder and the remainder in Denver. I have an 8.5 year old doggy named Titan and a 1.5 year relationship with my boyfriend, Mike. Mike’s pup is named Lexi, she’s also 8.5 and Mike and I live in two of the coolest areas in Denver, downtown/LoHi and Wash Park, respectively. I live with my two friends, Kim and Jaime. 

I’ve recently retired from playing rugby after 14 years but continue to work in my beloved sport daily as the Director of the youth programs for the Glendale Raptors Rugby Academy in Glendale, CO.

Why A Blog? I need a creative outlet, where I can talk about my favorite things, not just by using Instagram or Facebook. I have many passions: Cooking Recipes Around The World, Fitness, Skin and Hair Care, Athletics, Philanthropy, Karaoke and Throwing Parties....just to name a few. I used to love to write as well. Some of my 2017 goals, although incredibly broad, are to lead my most meaningful life and set positive intentions each day. I'd enjoy meeting people along the way by sharing my experiences through writing this blog as well!


Thank you for stopping by!
