Hi! Welcome to Invented Charm.
I’m Christina, a thirty-something California native, and stay at home mom of a toddler. My jet set lifestyle came to a rapid halt after the birth of my son and quitting a ten year career in higher education (ask me how!). I traded concert tickets and wine clubs for baby music classes and wine in a box. Now my social circle mostly consists of my son and the fictional characters from my favorite TV shows and the ones I create in my (unfinished and unpublished) novels.
I love coffee, wine, true crime, and cooking. My idea of a fun night would be on my couch watching The Great British Bake Off and The Bletchley Circle. I can remember details from something that happened fifteen years ago, but I forget at least two things on the grocery list every time.
I write personal essays, useful tips, and practical ideas about food, fashion, beauty, home decor, and self-care for busy people who want to live thoughtfully. I’m not a super stylized pro, but I’m always willing to share my own rookie mistakes and lessons I’ve learned along the way.
I’d love to connect with you on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Tumblr!
Thank you for being a friend. Your heart is true, you’re a pal and a confidant. Yes, sometimes I quote movies and TV shows.
