Perfectionist Wannabe was born out of the idea that we can be better than we were yesterday. When I first started this site, it was to explore all of the things that create a better life. It was about exploring my curiosity into the finer things in life like how to make French and Italian dishes, discovering the music and lives of the great classical composers, and how to curate my own art collection. I dove into those questions and shared what I learned.
Over time, I became curious about the people living their dreams. The stories this site shares are about those people who inspire to be better than they were yesterday.
This site explores the many ways that we can create change in our lives for the better. Nobody is perfect, but we all strive to be in some way. Those who aspire to be great strive to perfect themselves along that journey in life to success. We have to remember to enjoy every step of the way and everything that life has to offer.
You’ll find interviews from people living their dreams, books to read, movies worth talking about, recipes worth trying, home inspiration, ways to create your own fashion statement, my photography, diy projects, inspirational posts… just about everything that helps us to achieve our goals, no matter what they are. I want you to walk away learning something new, feeling inspired, or racing for the next great deal. Thanks for stopping by. Say hello!
