About me, about this blog, and what to expect from your journey reading my articles.

Intro  

Hello and Welcome to Tallie Talks! You have no idea how excited I am to start this. This process has been long and a lot of time and planning has gone into the creating of this blog. I thank you all for joining me on my adventure I am beginning through this blog. There is a lot I want to express in this first post. I will be giving you a little more of an in-depth look into who I am, why I started blogging, what to expect from Tallie Talks, and a little more of an in-depth look into the different sections you will see on this blog all filled with new, fun and exciting content for you to scroll through. I hope this blog becomes helpful and you enjoy reading it just as much as I am enjoying writing and designing it. 

More about me

My name is Natalie, but I sometimes go by Tallie, hence the creation of the name Tallie Talks. I am currently 25 years old and residing in Colorado. I recently moved here from the Hudson Valley. I have a five year old German Shepard named Molly, who will be talked about throughout this blog probably more than myself. I love to write, take photographs, drink coffee, give Target all my money, travel, hike, go on adventures, try new things, and just spend time with my friends. Some of my favorite colors are various shades of blue, pink, and purple. My favorite animal is a goat and my favorite foods are pasta and sandwiches. If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would definitely be sandwiches. I am still currently trying to figure out the rest of me and who I am, or who I want to be. So, you will be on this journey of me coming out of my comfort zone and seeing me change and figure out who I am. 

Why I Started Blogging

Why did I start blogging? Everyone has a reason as to why they start their blog in the first place. Some people simply just love to write, some people have ideas they wanna share with the world, others are trying to find themselves, and others may be a mixture of all three or maybe none of these reasons. My reasoning might be a little bit of all three. I have always loved writing. You will definitely be seeing pieces of my writing throughout this blog that’s for sure. I’ve written songs, poems, and at least started a few books that I never seem to have finished. I have so many ideas I want to share with you. Things from DIYs and tips and hacks that have helped me and my friends, to ideas for your next outfit or your next adventure. I also have a part of me that feels like it is missing or lost and I wanted to start blogging to get all my ideas out there and share it with all of you. Sometimes you never know you are missing something until someone writes it out right in front of you. I am hoping that through my journey I will help someone in some way.
