Hey There!

Thanks for checking out my site! I’m so incredibly grateful to have you here. 

So a little about me…

I am a fierce and passionate 30-something currently calling Minnesota our home. But that hasn’t always been the case. By the time I turned 21, I had lived in 4 different countries on 3 different continents. I believe this has made me somewhat curious about many things. 

And so I have a lot of passions and interests. I am a self-confessed coffee snob…err…addict. I have had a successful professional career in competitive dog sports (thinking about starting a blog and a podcast on just that!). I have been a runner for over 20 years. I love fashion and beauty. I am an IT professional. I am extremely competitive. A bit of an overachiever. I love pushing the limits. And I am obsessed with anything related to health and longevity. 

Which brings me to why I started this blog. Brunette on a Mission is an incredible outlet for me to share my personal mission with you. My quest is to learn how to become the best possible version of myself and in doing so help others reach optimal health, well-being and happiness.

I do this by bringing real science-backed information to you and breaking it down into relevant and actionable steps anyone can implement. As I mentioned earlier, health, longevity, optimal performance and ultimately happiness are the goals. I believe we can do this by bio-hacking ourselves. 

Important Disclaimer:

It is important to note, however, that I have no training in nutrition or athletic performance, nor am I a doctor. None of the information on this site should be used as medical advice of any sort whatsoever. As always, please consult a doctor for any medical advice. 

I am simply someone who is obsessed with learning about health, nutrition, and sharing it with others so we can all geek out together. 

To keep things light and interesting, you will also find stuff about fashion, beauty tips, topics on parenting, and lifestyle in general. 

Let me know if you enjoy my blog and have any particular topics of interest by connecting on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. Or simply drop a comment! 

xo, Marina

Day 542678 of quarantine and I actually don't remember what clothes I own other than sweats, pretty sure I won't recognize my co-workers on the street, and going to a store is a legit outing 😂
⠀⠀
Buuuuut, the one thing I'm actually excited about is staying on top of nutrition and exercise. My summer body 2021 will be ready (queue crying)!!
⠀⠀
On that topic, I'm excited to dive back into regular fasting.
⠀⠀
And the next fast I'm trying is the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) I wrote about on the blog💻 (see link 🔗in BIO for ✨Different Types of Fasting Protocols ✨).
⠀⠀
Check it out and some related posts to see why you should consider fasting as a powerful tool to improve your own health this Spring 🌸🌱!!
⠀⠀
Made dalgona coffee this morning (see stories!).
⠀⠀
Had to make another one. This time iced❄️. Over unsweetened almond milk. Aaaaand....I blended in some collagen powder. Cause...skin 😋💁‍♀️
⠀⠀
If you guys are looking for a sugar alternative, seriously consider a Minnesota local company @wholesomeyum.
⠀⠀
They just came out with a whole line of sweetener alternatives and the monk fruit allulose blend is my current fav!🙌 ⠀⠀
Awesome if you're watching your sugar intake but still need that insta-worthy TikTok coffee 📸 ⠀⠀
It's gonna be in the 70's here today!!😎🌞 ⠀ It's gonna be in the 70's here today!!😎🌞
⠀⠀
I'm going through my camera reel and wanted to share these only to say that this quarantine will eventually be over. Maybe not soon enough, but it will come to an end.
⠀⠀
For now we just have to find positivity in the little every day things....like the fact that weather is finally improving 🏝🌸.
⠀⠀
To see how else I've been dealing with the quarantine, check out the last few posts on the blog (linked 🔗in BIO).Maybe you'll get inspired. If so, let me know!!😘✨
