Welcome to vitaciao.

A woman in a flowing red dress dancing or spinning in an open grassy field during sunset with trees in the background.

Plot twist: the girl who spent her twenties in steel-toed boots on construction sites and in meeting rooms full of men turns out to have a lot of feelings about crystals, skincare, and creative living.

I'm Tara. Chemical engineer by degree, tech sales rep by day, and apparently a lifestyle blogger by necessity. After years of running on empty in an industry with no room for much of anything resembling self-expression, my body staged a formal protest… and I ended up in a hospital reconsidering some life choices.

The reckoning: I'm someone who has always loved writing, the arts, travel, and exploring everything this weird, beautiful life has to offer. I just forgot for a while.

vitaciao is my creative homebase - wellness, style, music, food, spirituality, and whatever else is living rent-free in my head that week. My interests are chaotic and deeply sincere. I figured blogging them out is cheaper than therapy and more fun to read.

Glad you're here. Ciao. ✦
