A Little About Me

Hello everyone!! My names Rachel Harmon, I live in a small town in Northern California and am currently a freshman at my local college.  I have a passion for Health and Fitness, also for beauty and fashion so I will blogging LOTS about that. But I'm the type of person who loves to talk so there is a very good chance that I will be blogging about a huge genera of totally different things most likely including cooking and recipes, nature, traveling, I may even end up venting a little but I promise to keep that to a minimum haha 

So a few facts about myself:

• I'm a huge nature person!! I love the ocean, forest, the sunset. Pretty much anything in nature intrigues me and I lose myself in it.
• Some of my famous idols, fashion and fitness icons include: Cameron Diaz, She is a woman full of knowledge and lives a fun and healthy life;  Lauren Conrad, I absolutely adore her and all she has accomplished;  Blake Lively, I'm not sure if its Serena from Gossip Girl or what but I have always loved the personality she has not to mention she is absolutely stunning!!  Jennifer Lawrence, she is a woman who stands up for herself and doesn't allow anyone to bring her down or allow anyone to diminish her self confidence; Reese Witherspoon, free and wild, she is so down to earth and just has a glow about herself.
• I have an eight month old Australian Kelpie, Heeler.  His names Jack and he is so spontaneous and joyful. He's such social butterfly, when I take him to the dog park he seriously tries to leave with other dogs family's! But he is also so timid around humans, it's the funniest thing.
• I have been  with my Boyfriend Travis for ten months it will be a year on July 10. He is the most wonderful and amazing man and I couldn't be happier. He will be attending Humboldt State University this Fall and he is playing football there.
• I love cooking and finding/making healthy food and treats so of course I will be posting lost and lots of recipes for all you food lovers out there. I definitely have a strong love for food and as long as I'm being healthy and my jeans still button its completely okay with me haha 
• My main fitness role model, inspiration and icon is Kayla Itsines. She is the definition of a strong women, mentally and physically. Her goal is for everyone to live a healthy and fit life and she is so encouraging and inspirational. She made the Bikini Body guide or BBG and the goal is to become toned but slim and feminine not bulky.
• I am going to school to become a traveling nurse practitioner and eventually making my way back to school to become an oncologist which is a doctor for people with cancer. My motivation came from my grandpa who battles multiple myeloma for many years but passed in 2007 at 57. He was such an amazing human being and I knew it was my mission to help people just like him who deserved to live much much longer. 
• I have a poshmark where I sell my clothes and accessories i no longer use, so if you're interested in that my usernames @rachelellen221
