About

Nenette Alejandria Mayorlifecandy is the personal blog of Nenette Alejandria Mayor, and the place where she writes about health, beauty, shopping, family, friends, earthy stuff, books, blogging, and all the other sweet things in life.

Nenette is a writer, hula & tahitian dancer/instructor, former software design engineer, CRONista, and aspiring minimalist.
Nenette loves green tea, soft cotton sarongs, and Gerard Butler. She hates weeds, the way she feels when she drinks alcohol, and the word "moist". Nenette currently lives in Winnipeg, Canada, with her husband and their two kids.

Nenette updates lifecandy almost everyday, but if she misses a day or two, it's because she thinks you could use some time to work, read other stuff, or maybe go to the bathroom. :)
