Founded in 2009, I started How To: Simplify as a food blog that shared recipes and tips to simplify life in the kitchen. In February 2015, the blog transitioned into a lifestyle destination. From home décor to cleaning, beauty to fashion, organizing to decorating … this blog shares tips for a simple living lifestyle.
As a writer and photographer, I’m dedicated to providing authentic, high quality content. This site can maximize your brand’s exposure through a variety of ways.
