I am alaina stanisci, a blogger who loves to share a little bit about her life and what she does. Follow me on Instagram and Twitter (@alainastanisci).
I’m a blogger! How did I get here? I wrote my first blog post at the age of 6. I’m currently 31 years old, and still blogging full time. I’m married with 1.5 kids, and have been since 2006, so it is a pretty big gap in my blogging life.
From a very early age, I’ve been writing about my day to day life. In high school, I began writing about my school activities and what I was involved with in my school. I have worked part time for the next 10 years as a writer. For the past 4 years I have been specializing in lifestyle, travel, and beauty.
I have always been a very passionate person about my hobbies, and I have always had the desire to share these hobbies with others. It started with my first trip to Europe in 1997. I went on this trip to Barcelona, and I remember talking to a friend who was in Barcelona so much, and she asked me where I lived. I didn’t know where she lived, so I told her, and she said I lived in Barcelona. So I moved to Barcelona and started writing about my life.
I started by writing about the beauty that surrounded me, and the people who inspired me. I loved the food, the culture, and being in Barcelona.
Once I had a little time I realized that I could actually make a living off of my blog. So after I moved back to California, I started working on a monthly column that would take on topics from photography to pop culture.
This column lasted for about six months before I had to take a full time job. I wrote the column for my blog and also for my own website. I had a nice little income with those two websites. I also did a few other things like editing and designing websites.
I had a friend that I was close to at this time. I moved back to the Bay Area after I broke up with my ex. I was still really close to her, but she wasn’t really into blogging or social media. She was a painter and she posted a lot of her artwork on my website. I found her, we started emailing, and she moved back to California.
She was a designer and we had been emailing for a few months, but she did a lot of the design work.
I also have done some other things like editing and designing websites. I used to be a designer, but I went to college and I got a degree in graphic design, and I have been doing some social media and design work since then.
