Yes and Yes is a lifestyle blog created and written by Sarah Von Bargen (who finds talking about herself in third person pretentious and weird). I created Yes and Yes because I wanted to read a blog that was funny, smart and offered varied content. (And by 'varied content' apparently I meant posts about becoming a vegetarian without alienating everyone. And definitive packing lists. And instructions on how to become a grown up.)
I couldn't find a blog like that (maybe I didn't look hard enough?) so in August of 2009 I just started one myself. I also wanted to read something that addressed the many, many aspects of modern life and didn't pigeon-hole women into different camps. Fancy, high-paid CEOs might want to read about low-cost, volunteer-based travel and hippie girls might want to read about cute, over-priced underwear. Moms might want to read about the travails of online dating and college girls might want to learn about throwing theme parties. Why not put all that stuff on one site?
Ultimately, Yes and Yes is about living the life that works for you and saying 'yes' to the things that make you happy.
Hanging with girls from the Cat Cat Tribe in Sapa, Vietnam
It looks like I'm contemplating history and the inevitablepassage of time, but really I'm thinking about how I want a latte.
In which I buy a Groupon for flight lessons.
By day, I'm a copywriter/blogger-for-hire/internet awesome-i-fier. I help small businesses and self-employed creatives make a name for themselves on the internet and create content people want to forward to all their friends and add to that Favorites folder.
By night, I plot my next trip, go on adventures with my friends, eat entirely too much cheese, and attempt to make my cat wear outfits.
