We're here doing our Philadelphia bloggers series. We're here with Chrystina Cappello. How are you doing, Chrystina? Chrystina Cappello:Doing pretty well today. Anthony Verna:All right. You are the founder of PHL Bloggers and you have a blog of your own. Chrystina Cappello:I do.Anthony Verna:And you have a full-time job.Chrystina Cappello: That as well.Anthony Verna:So the first question is, is do you sleep? Chrystina Cappello:Sometimes. Less than usual this week. I try. It's definitely always a balance trying to figure out what means the most, what's the most important to get done, and which things inevitably get shoved to the wayside along the way. Anthony Verna:I understand very well with having the practice, doing this podcast, having the blog guests. No, there are things that you certainly have to prioritize as you're putting all of this together. So, let's start here. Let's talk about the blog first. So, tell everybody about your blog. Chrystina Cappello: Sure. So, I blog at Chrystina Noel and that's just Chrystinanoel.com. It's about hosting parties, handmade greeting cards, and how to stay in touch with people you love. So, I've been blogging for six years now and I started the blog at the same time that I started my full-time job. So, essentially, I started it because my day job is a construction consultant and my background is in architectural engineering. So, I've a very left brained day job and that is the space that I live in during the day. And I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to go crazy having only that to do after graduating college with having so many activities going on at the same time. And so, I decided to start the blog at the same time. so I had a place to record my, my more right brained antics while living the left brain day job. Anthony Verna:It is a very artistic, lifestyle kind of blog. Would you agree with that? Chrystina Cappello:Yes, that definitely. For years it actually was very specifically by very specifically, I mean vaguely lifestyle and I realized recently that it actually for the first four or five years of it, it became sort of like a journal, a place for me to record all of my thoughts and sort of in more recent years I've been really making the pushover to talking just mostly about parties and greeting cards and staying in touch, which was always there along the way. But now it's just more of the focus as opposed to telling people about 10 things that I did this week or something along those lines. Anthony Verna: Right. Like your most recent post is about Thai inspired food for the dinner party,
