About Leigh

Hey y'all!

As a self described girl about town, I love all things food, wine, and travel related. My best memories include nights in a new city, a heavy glass of red and a meaty steak dinner. I love experimenting with interesting foods and trying new cocktails. 

I currently reside in Columbus, Ohio, but love to travel whenever possible. I spend a lot of time in Charlotte with my sister/fellow Organoblonde and her hubby and my ADORABLE niece Dylan.

I also have a deep passion for fitness and nutrition. I am aware that we cannot always have our cake and eat it too. Or can we? I've spent countless hours researching how to make my favorite meals healthier, where my food is coming from and how it is prepared, and what foods can naturally heal my occasional ailments. I'm a firm believer that what we put into our bodies affects every area of our lives from our blood pressure to our mental wellness. High cholesterol? Diabetes? Depression? Ain't nobody got time for that! Because of this shared passion, my sister and I have created Organoblondes.

  

My transition has been gradual, from switching to mostly organic products, to most recently beginning to purchase the majority of my food from local farms. The "farm to fork" concept in intriguing and it is something I want to delve into as I learn more about the local, organic, and sustainable lifestyle. I am however, a huge advocate of living life and enjoying your favorite things. Through this journey I hope to learn more about getting back to the basics while finding a good balance between a pound of blueberries and a a pitcher of Budweiser. Or maybe they should just make blueberry Budweiser and we can just call it a day.

Cheers.
