Hello, My Name is: Elle


Good day! I am never really good at these ‘introduction’ type posts, so I figure I’ll just introduce myself in drabbles:

- My name’s Laura, but I typically go by Elle Zee online. It’s a nickname that stems from a crazy too-much-sugar fueled graduation night water bottle. Yes, a water bottle.


- On occasion, I may blog too many posts on the following subjects (of which I love dearly): The Killers, healthy eating, and The Vancouver Canucks. Of course, I will blog about more than these things.

- Sometimes people don’t understand why I yell at a television screen when hockey is on. I’m sorry I’m not sorry.

- I am currently in school to become a librarian. The library is my second home, my second nature. I am that person who is way too excited about cataloguing. However, I do not know everything about every book ever.

- Recently (within the last year) I have lost a total of 67 pounds. Yay! It’s been a long and tough journey, one that I’ll be on for the rest of my life. I think realizing that I have my whole life to live is what got me focused: eat healthy, exercise when I can, watch what I eat but don’t restrict myself so much.

- Jogging has become the essential start to my day and I love exercising for a bit in the evening to de-stress.

- I am very close to opening my very first Etsy! I will be selling illustrated greeting cards, and then maybe prints later on. Art has always been a passion of mine, and I am excited to share it with the world. I hope that my art can brighten a room, a day, or even a moment.

- Sometimes I start too many projects at once.

- Growing up, my dad always took me hiking or fishing and I have held a love for nature throughout my life. I will always prefer to be outside than inside and whenever I have a creative lull I will go on outside for an adventure; this always helps and I come back full of ideas/doodles.

- Last, but not least: Welcome! I’ll be back on Monday with an outfit post. Currently, my style is slowly evolving (thanks to the weight loss, dressing up is a bit more fun). However, I still am pretty stubborn style-wise and will typically just throw on jeans + t-shirt + cardigan. Hopefully I’ll add more pieces to my wardrobe as the months go on.


Have a most fabulous day! : )

Elle!
