Hi, I'm Shalan! Studioist.co is my journal devoted to adventures, creativity, recipes, and my husband LeBraun and I's semi-nomadic lifestyle. I spend most of my days wondering how to combine my two loves, traveling and illustrations. The rest of my time I spend trying to create awesome gluten-free, dairy-free recipes. I want this to be a place of inspiration and encouragement as well as a fun place to spend your time. And yes, sometimes it gets messy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.


Here’s what shakin’, bacon!
