Who am I?
I’d like to welcome you into my world of food, fitness and photography. My name is Lily, and I currently live in South Florida. I’ve been in SoFlo since August 2014. I always said that Florida would be my final destination, the place I would finally be proud to call my HOME. So a little (or a lot) about me, myself and I. I am an Army brat, and also a proud Army veteran that actively served my country for four years. Lastly, I have the cutest, independent, sassy and at times a diva, female Chihuahua: Elektra Storm . She always keeps me on my feet, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Why Food – Fitness – Fotography?
At the age of 11, was the first time I ever touched the stove and cooked Puerto Rican dish: white rice, habichuelas (beans), and baked chicken thighs. However, I am very sure that at the age of five, intuitively I already had passion for cooking when I was on a mission to cut in half an avocado seed, and instead, I cut my index finger. I also decided to stop consuming animal products in July 2017, and follow a plant-based lifestyle. I love experimenting with food. I do not follow recipes, I just throw it in a pan, pray for the best, and voila!
Three years ago, my love for fitness began, the day I stepped into a CrossFit gym and tried the free class. I will never forget my seven minutes in heaven, with a wall ball, and burpees. I knew that I finally found the type of fitness lifestyle that I wanted to live, follow, and finally be committed to.
Since I was a kid, I’ve always remember having some type of camera in my hands, from the Polaroid to a 35mm camera. Before I capture a moment, my mind already captured it before I pressed down on that shutter. I don’t even know how to explain it, but I LOVE photography. I feel at peace when I’m behind the camera. It’s just me, my Canon, and the world. Everything is silent and I freeze that moment for a lifetime.
There you have it, three passions that I want to share with the world. I hope that you get to know more about me, as I allow you into my world. So please, make yourself a cup of coffee, tea, or wine, have a sit, and enjoy.
