Meet NC Blogger, Anna, of Curiouser and Curiouser

October 9, 2019 by NC Blogger Network Leave a Comment

Today we’re introducing you to Anna of Curiouser and Curiouser as part of our Meet the Members Series. Anna’s been blogging since 2011 and writes about a little bit of everything from her role as a mother, to baking, to books, to her vegan diet. Get to know her below and say hello!

Meet The Members, Meet The NC Blogger Network Members, Meet NC Bloggers

MEET NC BLOGGER, ANNA, OF CURIOUSER & CURIOUSER!

1. How long have you been blogging?

I started Curiouser and Curiouser in December of 2011, not long after getting married and moving to a new city.

2. Why did you start blogging?

My educational background is in journalism, and writing has always come easily to me. I wanted to start a blog to document things in my life — the big and the every day — and to invite people into those experiences. It’s my nature to want to share things I love, things that make me think, things I’m interested in, things I’m passionate about, and a blog gave me space to share those things.

3. What do you blog about?

My blog is intentionally broad (as its name suggests!). I write about things I would want to read about, ranging from my love of Pure Barre to baking to pregnancy (now parenting, since my daughter is here!) to books I’m reading to my vegan diet and a whole lot more. If I had to categorize my blog, it would be “Health & Wellness,” as many of my posts fall within that theme. I also recently added a podcast component onto my blog, which has been SUCH a fun extension and a way for me to introduce longer-form conversation into my blog community.

4. Where are you blogging from in NC?

Winston-Salem! My husband and I moved here from Atlanta nearly seven years ago for him to go to Wake Forest for business school, assuming we’d be here just two years. Now, WAY more than two years later, we can’t imagine living anywhere else!

5. Out of all the posts you’ve written, which one (or two) would you pick as your favorite?

  • Maggie’s Birth Story
  • Why I Switch to a Vegan Diet
  • The Post I Never Thought I’d Write (This post isn’t a favorite because it was easy to write. It’s one I’m proud of, though, because it was very difficult to share.)
  • What I Learned From My Miscarriage

6. What blog(s) do you love?

  • A Foodie Stays Fit (my friend and fellow Winston-Salem blogger!)
  • Eat, Live, Run
  • Peanut Butter Fingers
  • My Life Well Loved

7. What’s one piece of advice you’d offer your fellow bloggers?

Be genuine. If you have a personal blog like I do, your blog should reflect you: the things you love, the truths you value. You owe it to yourself and your readers to let it be a reflection of YOU — not of what you think a blog should look or sound like.

8. What’s are three things do you know to be true?

  1. People will say yes far more often than they’ll say no, but they can’t say yes if you don’t ask the question.
  2. Children really do grow and change just as quickly as everyone says they do.
  3. “…people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou

9. Where can we find you on the web?

  • Blog: curiouser-and-curiouser.com
  • Facebook: @curiouserandcurisouserblog
  • Instagram: @curiouserandcurisouserblog

10. And finally, is there anything else you’d like to add that you want people to know about you?

I’m best when my plate is full, and so I always have lots of balls in the air. In addition to blogging, I work full time as the Marketing and Communications Manager for an after school enrichment company, I’m a Beautycounter consultant (spreading the word about safer skincare and makeup), I’m a freelance writer/marketer, and I’m a podcaster. I’m also a wife and mom. (My husband, Kevin, is co-founder of Fulton & Roark men’s grooming, and my daughter, Maggie)

Did You Enjoy Meeting The NC Blogger Behind Curiouser & Curiouser!?

No one has escaped the challenges that 2020 has of No one has escaped the challenges that 2020 has offered⁣
⁣
The question is: Are you going to let 2020 define you? Or are you going to create your own narrative?⁣
⁣
✨{𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄}✨ 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞⁣
[3 Part Masterclass Series Oct. 22-24]⁣
⁣
I  know you. The over achiever.  The planner. The one who doesn't appreciate failure, changes, or surprises. You desire to have things under control -- and 2020 was NOT in our control.⁣
⁣
Because over the past 7 years of living life as a coach, I wanted to control everything. Yet - things happened that I couldn't control. And my mindset was tested daily.⁣
⁣
❗️Getting fired 3 times!⁣
❗️Almost getting evicted.⁣
❗️Having collections & IRS calling me daily.⁣
❗️Having to shut down my first business.⁣
⁣
𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘦𝘵, 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘥𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦, 𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦. ⁣

⁣
We are now wrapping up the year of 2020:⁣
✏️Do you have a sense of certainty on your direction?⁣
✏️Do you feel solid in your confidence to make it though?⁣
✏️Do you feel like 2020 is happening TO you, or FOR you?⁣
✏️Do you experience anxiety, and want to move into joy and gratitude?⁣
⁣
If these questions resonate with you, you've come to the right place. In this 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞, (starting on Oct. 22) I will teach you...how to have clarity, confidence, and certainty [plus much more!]⁣

Don’t mind me, I’m just calling up my friends Don’t mind me, I’m just calling up my friends to see if they want to come out to the polls with me. Everything's better with friends right?

Did you know research shows that reminding 3 friends to vote can significantly increase voter turnout? So stop scrolling on the gram’ and start texting or calling some friends – lets make sure we show up and show out at the polls this election!

✨HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED/ ON TRACK ✨ 1 plan ou ✨HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED/ ON TRACK ✨

1  plan out your workouts for the week — so you have a plan it helps keep you accountable. I look at my schedule for the week and figure out what classes I can take.

2  MEAL PREP — if you live a busy life, it is so important to think ahead and plan your meals out in advance so you aren’t tempted to eat out/unhealthy foods. 

3  DONT BE AFRAID TO TRY SOMETHING NEW — this is so important, if you find what you love it will be the best part of your day. 

I am by no means a fitness expert, these are just a few tips that have helped me along the way. 

Xo, cat. ⚡️

Crisp #Fall air and sunshine. Nothing better this Crisp #Fall air and sunshine. Nothing better this time of year. This iconic church stands in New Bern and has plenty of quiet spots on its beautiful grounds for reflection. It also has a playground for the kids. It’s currently decorated for Fall and Halloween with lots of spots for beautiful photos. 🍁

WE ARE BLACK WOMEN.....we build...we don’t tear down other BLACK WOMEN! We have felt the pain of being torn down and we have decided that we will be deliberate about building others! 
All too often, we find it easier to criticize each other instead of building each other up! With all of the negativity going around, let’s spread something positive! Upload one picture of yourself.....ONLY you. Then tag as many sisters to do the same. Let’s build ourselves up instead of tearing ourselves down 💕COPY and PASTE💕

Thanks for tagging me @themamamogul and @ashley.dominique ! #ncblogger #amplifymelanatedvoices

It’s not my job to educate you about racism, I’m tired and exhausted. I’m a young Black educated woman who is aware of my privilege which hasn’t stopped me from experiencing Racism, so are many of my Black educated young Black sisters and brothers. I’m not looking for a pity party but CHANGE. So I’m going to use my energy on sharing ways to uplift our community. When a Black woman speaks up don’t tell her she’s aggressive while my White pairs are addressed as confident. Posting a black square as solidarity is nice but Brands- Pay Black Creators and stop asking us to work for exposure or products when we use our resources, time, money and energy to create the same content. We shouldn’t have to work twice as hard to be heard, visible and taken care off. We deserve to be treated equally. I shouldn’t have to ask to see people who like me on your Instagram feed, travel campaigns or campaigns in general. We shouldn’t have to ask for this things, it’s the bare minimum. I’m appreciative of the brands who have done this all along. We can create change together🤎 #amplifymelatedvoices #supportBlackWomen #SupportblackCreators #Payblackcreators
