about rachel

Hi! I’m Rachel, a 20-something from New York. By day I’m a SEO copywriter and freelance writer and by night I’m a life and style blogger for this blog you’ve stumbled upon. You could also call me a social media nerd, non-crazy cat lady, chocoholic and sarcastic fireball (yes, people have referred to me as that before). In my spare time, I enjoy seeing my friends and boyfriend, shopping, watching my favorite trashy television shows and listening to music.

 

about life unsweetened

Life Unsweetened was started in January 2012 as a New Year’s resolution. Having been a long-time reader of blogs and an aspiring writer, I decided to give it a shot for myself. I created this blog as something to do outside of my 9-to-5 job and as a way to express my love, interest and opinions on a wide range of topics- including fashion, beauty, music and more.

Life Unsweetened is best described as a life and style blog- without the sugar coating. Post topics range from personal life events, outfit posts, reviews of beauty products, my personal opinions, helpful blogging tips and much more. But no matter what I’m writing about at the moment, you can be sure everything you read will be my own honest opinion and may have a trace of my sometimes-sour outlook- hence the blog’s name. (I also just really like lemons).

If you like what you’ve read, you can subscribe to this blog by RSS feed, Bloglovin, through e-mail, or just bookmark the page on your browser. You can also follow me on Twitter and visit my Facebook page to get new posts sent to you that way, too. Thanks for stopping by!

If you have a comment, question or concern, feel free to e-mail me at rachel [at] lifeunsweetened.com. If you are a company or blog that is interested in advertising or you would like to hire me as a freelance writer, use the menu navigation at the top of this page.

    Speaking of your hair. I just came to this page to show off your gorgeous hair to my husband. So here’s me, clutching myself and going “WHY, WHY NOT ME, I WANT PRETTY HAIR” and my husband was all like “Wow, that’s all natural?”. I guess he’s used to his thin haired wife. LOL. Color us impressed. :)
