the honeybee

hi! i'm jeni. here's a little about me:

i was born and raised in a tiny town in northern vermont. i went to college at the university of maine, where i studied journalism and dance. since graduating in may 2011, i've relocated to charlotte, north carolina hoping to escape new england weather, embrace southern charm, and evade all things fried.

i've been gluten-free since march 2010 and vegetarian since july 2011 (plus a few times in high school and college). when i'm not dabbling in veganism and raw foodism, i'm coddling my newfound love of gluten-free oats and experimenting with supergrains and health food store finds.


i am blessed to have brian in my life. he is my wonderfully kind, patient, and supportive boyfriend. we've been together since december 2009, and i've cherished every minute of our time together. i'm so fortunate to have found someone who perfectly complements my personality, my values, and my life. being with him makes the world seem less daunting because i know i have someone to face it with. we're currently living together in charlotte, north carolina.

i am wholeheartedly a cat person. i have a sweet kitty, nala, who i rescued from a harmful environment (to put it mildly) in august 2009. she is the most loving cat anyone could ask for, and i can't imagine life without my mini lioness.

as for my budding career, i'm currently the executive editor and health director of an online lifestyle magazine for women in their twenties, and a freelance blogger for a home furnishings and consignment boutique.

thanks for stopping by the gluten-free honeybee! i hope you take a few minutes to look around, make yourself comfortable, subscribe to my posts, or send me an email!
