My STORY
LIVING A LIFE BEAUTIFULLY AND INSPIRED
North of Bleu is all about inspiring women to live their lives fully, through lifestyle, food, home décor, travel and wellness experiences.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
A LIFE FULL OF WONDERFUL EXPERIENCES
North of Bleu was created on a whim when I decided I wanted an outlet to document my journeys and experiences through life to share with other women. As much as I enjoy writing, I didn’t think my blog would flourish and grow to what it is today and what it continues to evolve to be. Though I’ve failed before in previous endeavors, I took this experience as one that will learn and grow as I do.
I think it’s inspiring when other women share their stories, of how they came to be or how they overcame an obstacle they’ve failed more than once before. And out of those thoughts, North of Bleu was born. North of Bleu simply means being happy. Rather than being down and out, create happiness – and that is what NoB thrives to be: an outlet for women inspired. NoB curates experiences for women that will craft happiness, gratitude, love, wellness and more. With a love of feeling happy and grateful for my life, this online destination is a curation of all things beautiful, peaceful and serene and the wonderful experiences that they bring. Because at the end of the day, we all deserve to feel north of bleu.

ABOUT CHLOE
My happy place is when there’s a pen and paper in my hand, or I’m head down in my laptop, blogging, or creating worlds away from my own. I’ve loved to write for as long as I can remember, and creating is something I’m passionate about. I started North of Bleu in 2021 as an escape outlet to document my travel destinations, passions, favorite things and life in general. Besides leading our incredible team of boss babes who curate content to inspire you, I am a published author and co-pilot to my amazing husband who flies us around the country in our plane.
Besides blogging, I have worked with brands such as Google, and have been featured in many online media outlets, including Thrive Global, Runner’s World, VoyageLA, ShoutoutSoCal, SDVoyager, and Medium.
North of Bleu is listed as a Top 30 California Lifestyle Blog and I’m very proud of what NoB has grown to today. I believe that dreams do come true, all we have to do is stay the path and believe that what we dream has already come into fruition – we’re just on our journey to reach that point in time.
Besides writing, I love traveling the world, exploring new places and I love chasing the mountains, in search of cooler weather. Wherever I may be in the world, you can almost always find me with my nose stuck in a book.
