Hey ya'll! I'm new here! Focus on the love and beauty in life. #IntroduceYourself

Hey Steemit peeps, I’m Mehgan! Enthusiast of organic food & nature, photography, baking & cooking! Lover of all things beautiful, pure & natural.

Nice to meet you! :)


This is my baby boy & I, his shirt says "Ladies' Man", but of course he thought his hands belonged in his mouth at this time.


I’d like to introduce myself by telling you about my personality, my lifestyle, my interests, my experiences, why I’m here on Steemit, and what I intend to bring to the table on this awesome website.


This is one of my favorite places to walk, I took this pic this past December, when they still had the Christmas tree up.


One of the many reasons I'm here is because I would like to be more social and I also want to learn what I can from the great people of this online community as well as share what I’ve learned on this awesome adventure that has been my life so far. Living is learning!


Lighthouse at a lake in Mt. Dora, FL. I took this pic on Christmas Day, it was so gorgeous out, we took a mini hike in the nearby woods. I did my best to take pic without getting the people behind it, part of someone's sleeved arm is sticking out ever so slightly.

I intend on posting about natural food, natural remedies and all things organic. From time to time I’ll share some of my favorite recipes, dishes I cook, goodies I bake, and smoothies I blend myself, my own little weird combos. I also intend on sharing my experiences as a new mom, as I learn from my little one.


Smoothie I made myself recently: papaya, mango, spinach, kale, coconut water, vanilla yogurt & vanilla protein powder, so yummy!


There will of course be times when I just have to share something or spout my opinion on some important issue. I will make sure it is of value and helpful to others of course, because my bottom line is I just want to help people. No matter how many or few, I love to help.


Thanks for your time, I look forward to building many friendships here and learning from you all!

Hi Mehgan,

Welcome to Steemit. The official FAQ can be found here and is quite extensive https://steemit.com/faq.html

Thanks a lot for the detailed introduction about your interests. You seem to be a very jolly person. A big upvote for you.

I am a trip leader based in Mumbai.

Hi @krishnakuya! Nice to meet you! Thanks for the welcome, and upvote, so cool!
I appreciate the helpful info, I've noticed there's quite a few resources about how to use this website.
You must tell me more about your travels, and what it's like to be a trip leader that sounds awesome! I plan on taking my son to as many places as possible, to raise him to be well-rounded and cultured, a real citizen of the world :)

The most challenging part for a trip leader is to manage different kinds of people. Rest, everything is cool and exciting.

I bet! Managing people is a job in itself, been there done that and it's quite challenging! It sounds fun and rewarding though!

hi, your baby so cute, adorable, much love there right? l already follow you

You're so kind to say so! Thank you for taking the time to stop by, I appreciate it. Yes, there is an enormous amount of love here! Thanks for the follow, super cool.

Hey there and welcome!

We actually have quite a bit in common, I'm actually from Orlando, FL! although I was raised away from it and only returned for college and some time after. I was something like the 28th baby born in Arnold Palmer after it opened (my dad was on the construction crew). I spent quite a bit of time when I was growing up in Mt. Dora at Rennigers with my father as he was an antique dealer.

I coincidentally also have a kid on the way. And our ages are exceptionally close.

It must be a Florida thing.

Whoa spooky! The similarities are crazy! That's so cool! Where did you end up being raised? Just curious :) I love visiting Mt. Dora, I love the historical feel and all the little shops in the downtown area. I've been to Rennigers so many times I've lost count, lol. I like the antique side of it, though I've only been over there once (I loved it, wish I could've bought like half the stuff I saw).
Congrats on having a baby on the way, that's awesome! Babies are definitely an adventure all on their own lol.
I agree, must be a FL thing. Like gators, flip flops, and rain on one side of the road but not on the other hahaha!
Thank you for the warm welcome, I really do appreciate it. I look forward to learning more about you and your growing family! :)

Hello there lovely mother girl, I'm Oatmeal Joey, and you hae a cute kid and I love the soup and kind of wish I had a horse.

Hi @joeyarnoldvn (Oatmeal Joey) thanks for taking the time to read my post, and I appreciate the compliment, very sweet of you! Horses are fun, but owning one is a lot of work, lol, I find it's better to ride the horse when you want and let someone else own him, lol.
