Hi! I’m Chelsea! I’m assuming, if you’re reading this, you already know me. But, if you don’t, I’m glad you found my site.

I’m a 33 year old black woman living in San Jose, CA. I’m a Bay Area native, born in Santa Clara and raised in Menlo Park (my parents still live in the same house I grew up in!) I grew up in the dance studio at Menlo Park Academy of Dance and always thought that I was going to be a professional dancer; Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater was the dream. However, while earning my Bachelors of Fine Arts from Fordham University and the Ailey School, I realized that concert dance was not for me. That lead to a 10-year-long career as a personal trainer in New York, the Bay Area, and LA, dancing for two NBA teams, other sporadic performing and modeling gigs, and a 3-year stint as a relocation consultant.

Throughout all of my professional life, I’ve never been truly financially stable. Even now, I’m working as an administrative assistant at a tech company making the most I’ve ever made, and I still don’t truly have disposable income. So, I decided to start this blog in hopes of it gaining enough traction to bring me some additional income. We’ll see how it goes. It’s going to start off as random “lifestyle” entries, until I figure out what the hell I’m going to focus on (open to suggestions). Hopefully you’ll stick with me. And if you do, thank you! I love you! 🫶🏾
