Why I Started a Blog: How Lifestyle with Lex Came to Be
Welcome to Lifestyle with Lex — a small window into my world. I'm Alexis, and here I'm explaining why I finally created a space of my own and answering the question: what exactly is Lifestyle with Lex?
In case we haven't met yet: I'm a college student working toward a health and human services degree, and my long-term goal is to support grieving children. Psychology and interior design each drew me in along the way, but I came to see that my heart belongs to community work, and someday I'd love to open my own grieving center. Walking alongside others through grief matters deeply to me, since I've traveled that road myself and know how much support helps. ♥︎
On a lighter note, I recently got engaged to my wonderful fiancé Nick, and I'm a proud dog mom to a sweet boy named Archer. Those two keep me busy most days, but I also cherish time with family and friends, traveling, reading, shopping, eating, working out, creating, and writing!
Finding Inspiration Through Writing
When I launched this blog, my only plan was to write about whatever was on my mind. Writing has always been my way of expressing my thoughts, and that's exactly what I needed back then. I was going through a difficult transition and wanted something positive to pour my energy into — something that would keep me inspired. I was searching for happiness when this blog began, and so far it has genuinely helped me discover what I'm truly passionate about. It has also given me the chance to open up and connect with some incredible people.
I picked the word "lifestyle" because I want to help others build the life they actually want to live, through inspiration. So many people on social media have inspired me over the years. Thanks to social media influencers, I've learned how to cook meals, finish a 30-minute full-body workout, and even shape my eyebrows (pretty important skills, if you ask me!). Along the way I've gathered plenty of lifestyle tips and tricks that I'd love to pass along to you. Fashion, beauty, and travel are all things I adore, so lifestyle felt like the natural fit!
Pushing Past Fear and Doubt
Blogging hasn't always come easily or naturally to me. Fear and anxiety have held me back more than once, and I've spent plenty of time worrying about what other people might think of me. It has taken several attempts, but I'm finally here, and I'm still learning — which is perfectly okay. Blogging makes me happy because it lets me express myself. I've come to understand that it's important to stay focused on the positive and simply do what's best for me. The connections I build and the impact I can have through blogging mean far more to me than the worry and self-doubt. That mindset is why I'm here today, with even more exciting things in the works! 💪
My hope is that this blog becomes a positive, fun space full of inspiration for everyone. The more love and kindness we can spread across the internet, the better. Building an online destination where anyone can come to feel inspired matters a lot to me. So let's come together and talk l i f e s t y l e ☀︎
XOXO, Lex
