Dear beauties,
My name is Hollie Grace James, and I’m a freelance writer here in Ottawa, Ontario. I write mostly lifestyle journalism, and I’m here to spread the word about the things that I’m most passionate about. I’m currently curating a life list, which is ever evolving, that you will be able to read at the end of this blurb. It involves tons of different experiences across life’s spectrum that I am aiming to accomplish, from my personal growth and my struggles with mental illness, to health & fitness, to wonderful, entertaining, quirky things to do around Ottawa and the surrounding area to travelling across the world and having many adventures. I’m making it public to solidify my commitment, share the experience with you, and hopefully form some awesome connections. Once an experience is completed, you’ll be able to access the link to read the story. I’ll also be sharing local events, fashion, product reviews, and whatever comes my way because I always try and say “YES” to everything. And finally, I’ll be lining up sweet giveaways and promo codes for my dedicated readers. I’ll be posting three articles every month, so please join in on my life list and maybe even start one of your own!

I encourage feedback or questions or comments, and hope you enjoy what I’m putting out into the vast space of internet. Thanks so much for reading this, and joining me along the way.
Sincerely,
Hollie Grace James XO
