More than meets the eye

I met Julia (Julie) at the fitness center. Workouts are structured and don’t leave much time for socializing, however by sharing short casual conversation couple of times I have sensed there is more there than meets the eye. Delighted to discover that we share passion for skin care, all things K-Beauty, aromatherapy and healthier lifestyle options among other worldly things. She is intellectually curious just about everything, yet disciplined, resolute and somewhat enigmatic, Julie is a warm person that brings joy and happiness.

She is creative, innovative, and very observant! Take a time to check her cookbooks and recipes! One of my favorite recipes comes from Squash recipe book- butternut squash and quinoa salad.

I highly recommend Blueberries recipe book, especially with summer coming up! Julie is a perfect person to kick off Wellness, Wine and Wit blog series titled “Who are you?” I am including bio from her website that speaks a volume!
