Hi, I’m Meg! 👋
Welcome to my corner of the internet, where wellness meets a weekend project obsession.
I’m a GenXer with a B.S. in Dietetics from Cal Poly, SLO, which is just a fancy way of saying I’m deeply passionate about plant-based eating and sustainable living—minus the rigid lectures. I care immensely about our planet, and I'm always on the hunt for the latest eco-friendly products, wellness innovations, and clean services that make living a healthier life just a little bit easier.
The twist? I’m also a total tech nerd. If a gadget can track my stats, optimize my day, or automate a chore, I’m all over it.
Whether you’re looking to green up your routine, find your next favorite home aesthetic, or just want to see what happens when a nutrition nerd tackles a new tech tool, you're in the right place. Let’s get creative!
