Hi everyone! Welcome to the shiny, new, Teatime Circus, featuring a new look and some fresh content.

For those of you who are just joining in, let me introduce myself. My name’s Christina, I’m a born-and-raised Calgarian with a love of exploring and trying new things. Like many people in Calgary, I have a full time job in the energy industry and spend a lot of my days exploring downtown. I’m also the co-owner of a creative agency, meaning I get to stay connected to our emerging technology scene and get to meet a lot of amazing entrepreneurs and startups.

Through my last year of blogging, I’ve learned a lot about myself, and what I find a lot of purpose doing, and I’m grateful for all of the opportunities I had being a lifestyle blogger. It allowed me to see and meet some amazing people in Calgary and Canada, go to some amazing events, and be a part of something wonderful. I’m grateful for and to all of the people I’ve met on my journey so far because they’ve opened up my eyes to a world that I would never have seen if I had just stayed a 9-to-5 office worker.

As I change, so does the central hub for my blog, and today, I’d like to take the opportunity to thank you all for sticking with me. This year, I
