Me walking toward camera in long grey, laced dress, on brick path.

Hi there! I’m Maria. A wife and mom of two + two furbabies. I’m a California native with ancestral roots in Mexico, Spain and Portugal (newly discovered – thanks 23 & me!) My journey as a content creator has morphed from a general lifestyle creator, to the same with compartmentalized platforms for each of my niches because ADHD.

In this season, you’ll see I’m trying to take back my health. I’ve been a foodie for as long as I can remember but by way of poor eating habits + crappy genetics, I recently found myself at the corner of Diabetes & High Cholesterol. Again, I’m 36. So I’m not proud, but I’m also not going to allow this to take away my love for food. Instead, I’m letting it to guide me to develop recipes I love, in a healthier form & without compromising all of the flavor. Kicking to the curb the cultural misconception that healthy = flavorless!

So let’s do this. Me and you. Batman and Robin. Timon & Pumba. Let’s get healthy together… and maybe have some not-so healthy snacks along the way! Everything in moderation.


Maria right now
