MINNEAPOLIS -- Unhealthy eating is pretty much a staple of college life, but not for Lee Hersh. In 2011, she started a blog while at the University of Minnesota to share her life as a "healthy" college student.
Little did Hersh know, however, that her blog would one day become her career!
Hersh is the founder of Fit Foodie Finds, a healthy food and lifestyle blog based in the Twin Cities. Her goal is to share healthy recipes, great workouts, style ideas and travel tips.
And across the country, people love what Hersh is posting. Fit Foodie Finds has more than 141,000 Instagram followers!
Unlike most lifestyle blogs, Hersh isn't trying to paint her life as a perfect picture. She shares real, authentic pictures and stories to truly connect with people.
"Social media is one of those things where you can be scrolling through people's feeds and just wish you were them because their photos are amazing, they have the perfect body, but I think there's something to be said of being 100 percent authentic and true to yourself on social media, sharing your ups and sharing your downs," Hersh explained.
Fit Foodie Finds has grown to two full-time employees in addition to Hersh.
