This Beautiful Life: Lena Almeida

March 13, 2014 By Lena

Today, I am super flattered to be featured on This Beautiful Day – a lifestyle blog for smart women.


Founded by Lisa Ng, Editor-in Chief, the site blogs daily about food, travel, style, beauty and life advice and is geared towards women ages 25-35 who are in the post-university and pre-mommy phase of their lives. She is a big supporter of women helping women to live their best lives to the absolute fullest.

Here’s an excerpt from the feature:

“Lena Almeida inspires me. She is a work-at-home-mom who manages her incredibly successful blog – Listen to Lena alongside her work as a social strategist for Chatelaine magazine. On top of all that, she is the mother to two incredibly sweet boys and makes the whole thing look effortless. I mean, I freelance for a living and I have no one to take care of but myself and GOD! I still can’t make it out of my pajamas some days!

What I love most about Lena is how she followed her passion, gave up corporate life and made a go during her mat leave to become a full-time blogger. Meet Lena everybody!”

Thank you so much for the feature, Lisa! It’s a pleasure to know smart women.
