I?

& what do I do? →

true Mid-western gal

I really am a true midwesterner through and through. I was raised in the suburbs of Chicago and currently live in the city.

Likes: cheese curds, Cubs game, days at the lake
Dislikes: snowy freezing weather

my education

For as long as I can remember I’ve had many different interests, often times requiring many creative outlets simultaneously to keep myself entertained. I call it “hobby hopping”. If you can think it, I’ve probably tried it.

Likes (currently): reading, crochet, painting, puzzles, graphic design, yoga
Dislikes: running, pottery, writing

a “hobby hopper”

All of my schooling has been very science-focused. I obtained a bachelor’s degree in nutritional science, I then went on to earn my master’s degree in nursing, and currently work as an emergency room nurse.

Likes: MSU (go green!), my job, teaching others
Dislikes: cumulative final exams

eager traveler

While I am on a budget, I love to travel. I’ve got many places dreamed up, plus I do have a knack for creating beautiful, thoughtfully planned itineraries for these make believe trips.

Likes: trying different cuisines, carrying on, my airport McDonald’s
Dislikes: checking a bag, any other airport food

sous chef Shayna

how it began

As a child, and into my teenage years, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen with my mom. She is an amazing cook and hostess and *thankfully* passed her talents down to me. (I’m not kidding, she was making chicken soup at eleven years old). We make quite the duo in the kitchen, working seamlessly together to create an amazing meal. Hence the nickname “sous chef Shayna”.

This is where I learned most of my kitchen skills and developed a love for cooking. I have no professional training, although it is always something in the back of my mind. So, for now, this will have to do.

so really, what is space?

space is my passion project, bringing together all things that I enjoy into one space, curated conveniently for you to enjoy. My main focus is cooking but I have a few additional hobbies that I like to share as well.

I love to travel the world and create beautiful itineraries, broken down and meticulously planned. With this, I love to try new restaurants and discover the best of the best. I also spend a lot of my free time venturing into different artistic hobbies. My current projects include a two-piece abstract painting and a crochet beanie, and I guess you could say this website :) .

Like many others, I spend a lot (and I mean a lot) of time online shopping. It’s more like browsing, given my limited budget. Regardless, staying up to date with current trends and new releases brings me joy. All in all, this space is all my favorite parts of me put into one.

Here’s what’s on the site ↓
