Hi Steemiteers!
I feel just like Alice must have felt when she fell down the rabbit hole and arrived in Wonderland!!!!!
Who Am I?
My name is Shoreen aka The Frustration Eliminator. Why the Frustration Eliminator? Well, as soon as I started my working life I felt creatively suffocated, mentally imprisoned, undervalued and pigeon-holed in a vocation that I had fallen into and couldn't get out of! My saving grace was having my daughter! That's when it didn't make financial or emotional sense to me to give her to someone else to enjoy, while I was working in a job that I DIDN'T enjoy.
So.... I sacked the boss, became the boss and set off on the journey to make a sustainable income! Now, I have dabbled in a few different fields on the way, which I will cover in future posts, and gained some insight (also known as trial and error!) that I'm looking forward to sharing with you.
As a nurturer I tend to put others first, but I'm not just a wife and mother or any one label, and now that I'm finally starting to find outlets where I can be my true creative self...it is really exciting!!
What Value Can I Bring?
My main passion is living the natural, healthy active lifestyle. I am a fully qualified Fitness Instructor and qualifying Personal Trainer and I also have a Practitioner/Therapist Level diploma in holistic skincare products.
So I will be posting about: food and nutrition, exercise, skin and hair care, education (personal development and the adventures of homeschooling a toddler) and as a company owner and residual income seeker, I will also be posting about what I've learned/am learning on my journey to eliminate my frustrations with the goal of helping us all on our quest to achieve our dream lifestyle!!
I have a degree in Architecture, so I love to be meticulous and organised...so hopefully some of the tips I have will help some of you guys become more productive and find that precious work/life balance!
I LOVE cooking and LOVE food... I will be posting some delicious healthy, child friendly recipes that I make....basically, I just love doing anything creative with my hands, whether it's making cards, knitting, baking...I love it all!! I'm also soon to be venturing into the world of YouTube so my plan is to post my videos on here first before using other platforms!
Why Steemit?
Steemit for me, to use the words of Ghandi, is my gentle way of shaking the world!
It's going to be such a great ride...I'm so grateful to have such great company along the way! Please comment below and let me know what content you find most valuable and it will be my pleasure to create it for you! x

For me, it's been a balancing act - working on interesting content, being in the chatrooms making friends, being consistent. To a lesser degree, commenting on other's posts and greeting newcomers (I'm pretty new myself!) I think taking a diversified approach helps.
I agree...there's a lot to get your head round at first and concentrating on any one of those things can be time consuming so definitely a balancing act! keep up the good work :)
Eventually, though, I imagine it will be as smooth as being on facebook or twitter... :)
looking forward to that!
Wonderful, am also new and i think am getting inspired here. Expecting more.
Welcome @edwardkoome! The great thing about steemit is that we support each other, learn and grow together! happy to help and looking forward to following your journey :)
I love your introduction - following! I love cooking, too. My grandmother on my mother's side was the head cook for the duke and duchess of the region she lived in in Austria. I got my love of creating art with food from her. :D
Thanks @belindahhq! Wow that's quite a legacy to uphold! Eactly, food is edible art...what can be better than that!! :)
I hope you like steem, lets be friends, a big steemit family! :)
I'm liking steem more and more everyday! Course we can be friends :)
