​Hey, I’m Taylor - nice to meet you!

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, and moved to Arizona in 2011. I have moved around AZ a lot, and have made it to the polar opposite of my hometown and have just recently moved to Casa Grande.
I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2013, which inspired my first blog, The Gluten Free Girlfriend. In the 6 years since then, I grew and changed so much that in 2017 I started this site and haven’t looked back.

I have had the amazing opportunity to dabble as an amateur model, travel the southwestern region of the U.S. participating in Spartan Races, taste delicious gluten free things, and more, and I couldn’t be happier to keep it up.
Professionally, I have worked as everything from an accounting clerk to retail store asst. manager to nanny to nightclub door host, but I find true joy in having proved myself as an administrative or executive assistant over the years. I currently work at University of Advancing Technology, which is where I am also pursing my bachelors degree in Web Design.

I find joy in running this blog because I get to shine a light on amazing places and things I find, and because as a kid I always dreamed of being a famous reviewer of places (or a Food Network star... I did grow up in LA). I just love sharing information with people, whenever possible.

I am eternally grateful for the trials and smiles that helped me start this blog, and to be able to realize a lil piece of my childhood dream.
