Hey you made it! Welcome to my side of the Internet! I’m Daj, the creator behind this blog, “Life with Daj”.
Here is a brief glimpse into my life to give you a little insight about who I am and what I do
- Enjoy cooking, but if I could be paid to be a professional taste tester/ eater I may up and quit my day job
- Come from a large family and have 11 blood related siblings
- Employed as an Emergency Medical Technician
- Elated to have met and married the love of my life
- Push myself to learn and experience new things (honestly I think it’s my own psychological defense tactic against anxiety)
What made me decide to become a blogger, and create this site?
The decision to become a blogger & create this site happened about a year before the pandemic hit, when my then boyfriend (now husband) was inquiring about my hobbies and what I liked to do for fun…I didn’t feel that I had any hobbies. I enjoyed traveling to other countries when I got the opportunity, but was limited in how often I could realistically go galavanting about. My interests weren’t limited to one thing; I enjoy dancing (although I’m not very good at it), I kinda know how to crochet (I can make a really long chain), and gardening seems cool (I had a succulent once) but really, outside of working and spending time with friends and family, I didn’t have a “niche”.
I wanted to find something I could be good at, not just “okayish” at like my baking. It had to be something I enjoyed, that benefitted others, and would be a bonus if I could create a side income with it. Well right around that time I came across an article on Pinterest by Taylor Stanford about “how you can make money blogging”. I did some research, took a couple of blog courses, purchased a laptop and here we are at the beginning of this new chapter in my life that I’m so excited to share with others, which brings me to what this blog is about.
