Hi, I'm Brandi. I'm an artist, a mom, an amateur chef, a casual runner, and a variety of other things on any given day. I live in Italy with my husband and son. Since moving here, I have been on an unofficial quest for self-knowledge. I've learned a lot about good food, good wine, and living the sweet life. I've read tons of books and blogs about self-improvement, spirituality, and lifestyle design. I love to write about the things I've discovered that have helped me get to know myself and be a happier person in general.

Here you'll find my blog, recipes, and cooking videos. I'd love to hear from you! You can email me at:
