Hey, Hello, Hi.

Hello! I'm Shannon, 26, and the creator behind Here's to Health. I started this blog as a way to sort through all the fitness, nutrition, and health...well...fluff. Just simple, clear and straight to the point. I believe that being "healthy" is different for everyone, and I hope to shed some light on what that could mean for you!

The Fun Stuff

I’m half Colombian, half...well...white, lol. No, I don’t speak Spanish, but I’m VERY fluent in sarcasm. I’m also lactose intolerant, yet for some reason, I love my jokes drippinggg in cheese #dadjokes.

"I’m also lactose intolerant, yet for some reason, I love my jokes drippinggg in cheese."

Anyways, I went to college to start my degree in communications but quickly switched to fine arts. I then moved to New York City to attend makeup school, but once I finished, this country gal was quickly chewed up and spit out to land in the yinzer town of Pittsburgh.

So much has changed since my days in NYC... I obtained my MBA with a focus in marketing, I was hired for my first “big girl" job...and then I was fired #ouch . And now I’m working as an assistant enrollment director at a university. Funny how life works out, isn’t it?

So what the heck do I know about fitness?

From being a high school and collegiate athlete, to overcoming an eating disorder, to competing in my first fitness competition, I have been through so many of the ups and downs of the fitness industry.

I want to share my experiences to help as many people I can have the happiest and HEALTHIEST, life possible. Whatever that means.

So raise your glass...

...Here’s to Health. Cheers.
