“Elevating my life era”

^that is what I am calling this chapter of my life.

Before we get into that, allow me to (re-)introduce myself: My name is Olivia Baroody. I am 24yrs old with a passion for travel, food, hair, fashion and health/wellness. Basically I am just a girl living in the world.

I discovered my passion for digital media/blogging/vlogging when I was 16yrs old. I launched my first blog in 2016. I was a sophomore in highschool at the time. I was a good kid. I wasn’t an overachiever by any means academically, but I folllowed the rules. I felt like an outsider/late bloomer and felt out of place in high school (I’ll get more into that story at a different time). To combat this feeling of lonliness and solitude (and boredom) I created a digital space that allowed me to express my style and creativity.

At the time I was juggling school and work, therefore didn’t have much time to be super consistent with the blog. It fell off when I graduated from high school and my mental health suffered at the beginning of my college experience. I lost the motivation to continue documening my life. I remember thinking I’ll pick back up one day when the time is right. A few years later I felt lost in my life and decided to pick up an old hobby. I re-invented my blog. I don’t think I was quite in the place to be vulnerable and transparent enough to document my life, so I abandoned this blog for a couple more years.

It’s 2025, almost a decade later and I feel re-inspired to document my life on here. My life has changed so much in the past couple of years. My hard work is paying off: I own a small business, I am in LOVE with a boy (have been for the past 3yrs), I live with that boy, I finally have quality friendships with some great people, financial freedom (I am an adult now lol) & so many amazing things that if you told me 9yrs ago, when I created my first blog, that my life would be this full I wouldn’t believe ya.

This blog is my passion project, so I am excited to share more about my business, my personal style, health/wellness must haves & all the things!

Here’s to a fresh start!
