Who is Rosey Rebecca?
And why is she writing this blog???
Hi There! Thanks so much for stopping by! So, you’ve stumbled across my blog, and obviously, in true blog-reader fashion, immediately clicked on on my About Me page, right? RIGHT! Who doesn’t do that? I know I do. SO, this is me!
My name is Rosey Rebecca. I am a 24-year-old recent college graduate with a degree in journalism from the University at Albany in New York.
The most important thing you need to know about me is that I love food. I love eating it, talking about it, and taking pictures of it. I grew up right outside NYC with a family of foodies. So, naturally, it was only right to start a food blog.
My love for food obviously had its consequences. In spring 2009, I was 30 pounds heavier and extremely unhappy with my body. So, I decided to make a change.
At first I didn’t think I could give up the foods I loved, but then I realized I didn’t have to. I realized that I could enjoy the foods I love in moderation, and also discovered new delicious and healthy foods. I developed a passion for cooking and baking, and slowly ditched diet and processed foods for real foods.
Healthy-living blogs entered my life in May 2009 when I wandered onto The Runner’s Kitchen blog. From there, I found Healthy Tipping Point, Eat, Live, Run, and Carrots N Cake. I was hooked. While I was sitting on the couch one night poring over my google reader, I suddenly thought to myself, why don’t you start your own blog?
So, with only the voice in my head and a camera phone, I started food blogging—but not just food blogging—healthy-living food blogging, and my life changed completely.
I joined a gym, discovered OIAJ, and drank a green smoothie. I lost the weight, started to practice yoga, and pushed myself to try a body pump class. I purchased a camera, went from meat-eater to vegetarian, and started running.
This blog not only chronicles my daily eats and workouts, but also provides an in-depth look into the life of a girl trying to stay healthy in a world full of food!

Hi Rebecca!
Congrats on having such a great site since it looks like you are a newbie at this too – although not as new as I am – I started mine just yesterday! I was wondering if you have any advice for people just starting out? That might make for an interesting blog one day. Also, I’m impressed that you have already gotten the freebie resources to have giveaways! You’re awesome!

I just found your blog through Lynn’s and I have to say I am so envious that you are studying journalism! I wish I’d done that instead of going with the more traditional major of finance.
