About Me

Welcome to my first post on my new blog! For those of you who followed me here you're probably wondering why I've moved. For those of you who are new to my blog you're probably wondering who I am and what this blog is all about. So to both groups of people, read on if you dare.

I'm Emily, but all of my friends call me Emmay. I'm currently a college senior at Boston University majoring in Public Relations. I like to consider myself a big city girl with big dreams and big ideas. I'm a shopaholic and TV junkie. Most importantly, I'm a health nut with a strong interest in the food industry. I love to cook, bake, and grocery shop (seriously). I'm always open to trying new things food-wise and I have the entire Food Network schedule memorized. My goal in life is to do publicity/marketing for major restaurants, food products and chefs, and also dabble my hands in some event planning and television branding. So, if you're hiring and you like my stuff, I need a job!

You can find my old blog here. There are several reasons for my move:
  • After blogging for a while using different mediums I've decided Blogger suits my blogging needs more than Wordpress
  • I'm the type of person that likes to totally start over when changes happen, and recently I've changed my lifestyle in a direction that wasn't suited for my old blog
  • I want to brand myself as girl who knows her stuff - not just a girl who is obsessed with counting weight watchers points and calories.
  • I want this blog to reflect who I am in real life - a complex person with many different interests, most of which do have to do with food or restaurants
Most of all, I write this blog to keep myself sane. It's like a diary of my thoughts without the lock and key. I read a lot of other food/lifestyle blogs (check out my link list on the right side) that have inspired me to be a better cook and live a healthier life, so my greatest hope is that my writing can inspire somebody else in the same way. If Paula Dean is your girl than this blog probably isn't for you, but if you love to eat as much as I do minus all of the butter then I hope you'll stick around!
