As I've shared inwards other posts, my celiac diagnosis was my biggest motivation to start blogging. I was diagnosed amongst celiac illness solely a few months earlier starting college. So, of course, I straightaway began Googling how gluten complimentary celiacs were surviving college...but I solely flora 1 weblog as well as a few other resources.
My solution? I'd weblog virtually it myself...even though I had no persuasion where to fifty-fifty begin! I've ever loved writing (and I ended upwardly majoring inwards it during college...and am at nowadays going to grad schoolhouse for an MFA inwards Creative Nonfiction). So, I picked a random blogging platform that seemed slow to prepare (hello Blogger!) as well as started publishing my thoughts online. Fun fact: my weblog was originally called Casey the Celiac Sealion because of my college's mascot...but I (thankfully) changed that early on.
2. What is your passion inwards life?

3. What's the most of import slice of advice you've ever received?
The root slice of advice that popped into my hear are the words of my sixth-grade schoolhouse counselor. (Who was also my "foster dad" when my dad was deployed). When I moved away, he gave me a glass dolphin amongst a menu that said, "Keep searching for your porpoise."
His words remind me that at that topographic point is more to life than beingness productive or making money. I also desire to brand certain I'm setting myself up for a labor that I tin savour as well as (hopefully) operate to brand a divergence inwards the world. At the same time, though, the pun reminds me to laugh as well as non guide life equally good seriously. I'm a weird combination of Type-A perfectionist as well as goofball, but next my pump (while rockin' a sense of humor) has worked pretty good then far!
4. If you lot could go anywhere inwards the give-and-take where would it be?
If someone gave me a ticket to anywhere exterior the U.S. (that was condom as well as had about gluten complimentary options), I'd guide it as well as go. I've solely left the U.S. when I lived inwards Republic of Cuba equally a toddler. And thank you lot to a combination of celiac disease as well as fiscal assist clauses, I wasn't able to study abroad inwards college. So, I'm actually game to go anywhere! Some top contenders, though, include Australia, London, Scotland, Ireland, Italy as well as Espana (all of which, I've heard, are awesome for celiacs past times the way!).
5. What's the most used app on your phone/tablet?
I pass agency equally good much fourth dimension on Instagram, but I also regularly operate VSCO to edit my photos as well as Canva to brand blog graphics. And I'm typing this weblog post service upwardly using my phone's Blogger app (while riding the stationary bike, wink wink). Non-blogging related, I operate Find Me Gluten Free all the time!
6. What create you lot similar to create when non blogging?
I dear working out, whether it's on my own, in a hot yoga cast amongst my dad or on a family hike. This past times viii months, I've also been actually into long afternoon walks. When I'm non working out, working on the weblog or only manifestly working, I'm normally baking or reading. I've also been known to dear thrift shopping!
7. Summer or Winter?
Fall. The conditions is only right!
8. What’s the craziest affair you’ve ever done or you lot would similar to do?
The craziest thing? Probably going to grad schoolhouse inwards a solid reason that I've never fifty-fifty visited! I'm a footling terrified virtually Minnesota's mosquitos as well as reportedly "bipolar" weather, but I'm also super excited for a fresh start. I'm moving out to Minnesota for education training (the other craziest affair is definitely education my root college cast at 21 years old!) at the destination of July. I'm only grateful that spending the wintertime inwards Colorado Springs has conditioned me somewhat for Minnesota's winters...
Needless to say, you'll live on hearing a lot virtually Mankato, Minnesota for the side past times side 3 years!

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Kindle for reading (as long equally I tin acquire a signal...otherwise, about realllllly long majority similar Ana Karenina!). And, of course, a raft for me to ride dorsum to the mainland once my granola cravings became overwhelming!
10. If you lot could encounter anyone inwards the earth who would it be?
I would dear to encounter Dorothy Parker. (For those who don't know, she's a super sassy feminist author from the 1920s). I guide keep a feeling that she'd scare me (she is the queen of sarcasm as well as burns!). However, I actually admire Parker's wit as well as her might to acquire inwards in the writing earth at a fourth dimension when women's occupational options were limited.
11. What’s your favorite dessert?
Homemade granola + So Delicious Unsweetened Vanilla Coconut Yogurt + berries + sunbutter. I guide keep about version of this every nighttime for a snack.
12. What’s the best majority you’ve read?

For those who don't know, I minored inwards Women's Studies and am really intrigued past times beauty standards (hence weblog posts similar this one). The Bluest Eye explores beauty standards as well as racial stereotypes, as well as Morrison's writing agency is exquisite. I recommend most books from Toni Morrison.
When I'm reading "lighter," though, I prefer psychological thrillers. One of my favorites lately is The Girl on the Train. I haven't seen the movie, but I bet the majority is better! I also dear The Woman inwards Cabin 10. (Watch out for a total listing of my favorite summer reads in the close future).

If you lot read this blog, you lot likely know the answer already: alllll the gluten complimentary goodies!
