hey, hey!
First of all, THANK YOU so much for coming here. I’ve wanted to start blogging since I was 12 so for about 10 years now!! Okay, that sounds insane, the fact that I’ve waited 10 YEARS TO PURSE THIS. Well I did have a cooking blog on and off at one point in junior high and slowly gave up on it, BUT NOT THIS TIME.
​
Okay so, let’s get to it!
My name is Jana (Ya-na) and I live in Calgary, Alberta which in 2018 was ranked as the 4th most livable city in the world! I’m originally from Skopje, Macedonia (bonus points if you know where that is or if you’ve heard of it) and I moved to Calgary with my family in 2009. Although the move was extremely difficult for me and it was the loneliest time for me, it’s helped me grow and I owe a lot to my parents for taking this leap of faith and taking this opportunity to start a new life in a new country. Ever since then, I’ve made it my mission to make the most of this city, explore as much as I can, meet new people, and do everything and anything that gets me excited. I'm a marketing student in love with what I'm studying because the world of marketing is exciting, ever-changing, and is a perfect combination of my my creative and number skills. Check out my portfolio site for more information!
Life is short, so why not do it all, try it all, and live it doing things that make you HAPPY?! And that’s exactly what I want to blog about: the things that I love doing and that get me excited. I think that by creating content I’m genuinely passionate about I can not only commit to this long term but I hope that the content will be enjoyable to you as well, knowing it’s coming from an hoenest place.
​
Some of the passions that have never left my side and I always resort to and talk about are: fashion, food (cooking and eating out), travel (experiences both in my city and around the world), fitness and health (something, like many others, I’ve struggled with for years), and lifestyle topics regarding how I stay happy and energetic (most of the time), motivation, organizing and planning my life, time management (because I’m a workaholic and have a problem with having too much free time), mental health, and more….
​
I won’t make this ABOUT ME section tooooo long, but I mean hey, most people do enjoy talking about themselves (me included) and I’m really excited to embark on this blogging journey so you will find out a lot more about me with the content to come.
If there are any specific topics you want me to talk about, whether they are listed as an interest of mine in this section or not, please let me know!! I want to create content I enjoy that I think is beneficial to others as well as content you want to see. My goal is to provide value to you, whether that is information you can use in your life or entertainment for your day.
​
I’m a typical gen-z type of gurl so of course you can find me on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and the business student in me is excited to connect with you on LinkedIn as well
With all that said, I hope that we can keep in touch and be friends .
Stay tuned for what’s to come…! And I’ll talk to you soon.
