About Me

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Brittany and I am a biology nerd from Virginia. I started to blog mainly because I wanted to chronicle my experiences, physically and mentally, from my Whole30 self-experimentation in January 2014. I wanted to tell people what I ate and how I felt. I didn't realize that I would actually enjoy talking about my day, complaining about the weather, or sharing my hobbies with the world. I am new to blogging and I have yet to think of a "theme" that so many people have with their blogs. Will I stay with nutrition, recipes, or crafts? Probably not. There really is no method to my madness.

A little more about myself:


  1. I am a medical laboratory scientist.
  2. I am a book hoarder, avid reader, and general bibliophile (reading truly is sexy!).
  3. I collect giant stuffed microbes.
  4. I am multi-craftual (knit, spin yarn, crochet newbie, chainmaille)
  5. I tend to use the same colors in my fiber crafts.
  6. My favorite animals are tigers and blue crabs.
  7. Dogs love me, cats think I am fun to annoy, and birds hate my guts. 
  8. My cichlid is probably the craziest fish in history and my poor pleco has to live with him!

I will gladly answer any questions you have about what I write about here and I encourage comments as long as you aren't promoting your wares or being hateful. Also, don't be surprised if my dark, cynical, sarcastic side comes out sometimes.
