What is my blog all about? This is a one stop hub for everything I love Fashion, natural hair, makeup, cooking, living in the city, and fitness. This blog also has my YouTube videos embedded for easy watching. Over the last 8 years my blog has seen a lot of change. Many have seen me lose weight, chop off my hair, graduate college, move to the city, and travel to over 15 countries and states. I have been in a way deemed as a luxury travel blogger/influencer through my content which focuses a lot on high end food and hotels in other cities and countries. My blog is ever evolving as I grow and I do a little bit of everything in this space I call him. You can find me on almost all forms of popular social media sharing what is also on my blog. If you continue to read below you will get more info on who I am and what I do. Thanks for stopping by!
This blog space is where I come to be creative and have fun. I love finding and reviewing new products as well as putting together OOTD's and Lookbooks. I look forward to continuing to come up with posts on all the topics I love and thanks to everyone who continues to support me!
In the City: I moved to the city March of 2014 and as a 4th generation Tampa native my explicit goal was to show the world how great Tampa is! Living in Tampa proper is always something I thought I would never do since I grew up in the outskirts like many people. I love South Tampa and I am blessed to be able to show this side of Tampa and its beautiful parks, recreation, and the hottest restaurants. I am in the Top 1% of reviewers for Tampa on Trip Advisor with 140k viewers monthly. I like to make my blog a one stop hub for fashion, fitness, beauty, food, cooking, and travel. My brand has come a long way since I started in 2011, but I am happy share my world and SO happy that I have so many long term subscribers!
As of right now 2024, I am currently a brand ambassador, Partner, or affiliate for several amazing companies such as:

(Excerpt From the January 2018 "City Life" Post) I hope that you guys can see an evolution of my cooking (and hopefully plating). Like I explained last Fall/Winter, my new cooking gadgets always inspire me to try different things. I love buying new things to enhance my ability to cook better meals. After I purchased my Sous Vide and Cast Iron I went HAM in the kitchen. Not only that, I subscribe to so many cooking magazines and websites and I find inspiration everywhere online. The best part about it is that I can take just about any meal I see and convert that into a low calories, healthy, gluten free meal which is why I share my meals; because gluten free food is good!
Sometimes I am in the mood for a staple meal which is basically something that I grew up eating and it's like comfort food for me and sometimes I want to try a new recipe or experiment in the kitchen. Sometimes I wonder how I keep all my recipes straight because I have probably over 1,300 at this point. When I first got married 12 years ago I could make spaghetti, omelettes, and a few staple meals (like 2). I was working 2 jobs and going to school and cooking wasn't a passion just a necessity of life. Once I finally got my weight under control I was unemployed and in college and I had time to learn how to cook proper healthy low calorie meals. You may have come across my YouTube channel FashiontoliveTV. I enjoyed making tutorials, but with all the work and the changes made to YouTube it wasn't work all the time I was putting in. Learning how to make healthy meals became a passion and then when I had to go gluten free once again it was a necessity, but still a passion- especially since everyone kept saying gluten free food was nasty.
Now, no one in my family can believe that these meals are mine because my parents notoriously tell everyone I did not know how to cook and then all of a sudden I started cooking. I can out cook all of them (he he he). Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy and share my photos so they can get more exposure! And follow me on Snapchat for daily cooking name Fashiontolive.
If you have any questions you can always leave a comment on my blog or any of my other social media accounts because I check them routinely. For business inquiries only please contact me at Fashiontolive@gmail.com.
A large part of being a Tampa Tastemaker or Influencer is covering events on my blog and social media platforms. I have had the great opportunity to cover some local events and show how great Tampa's scene can be for Families, friends, couples, and for people that are new to the area.
