The Kat Life: About

Meow, hello there, my name is Katherine Isabella Moon, but you can just call me Kat; because I basically am a cat. Anyway, that being said, I am a super shy lifestyle blogger from northeasten Ohio who ~~probably~~ spends ~~a little~~ too much time on my phone and computer, and has always loved to find new ways to get creative. Creativity and self-expression has always been a strong passion of mine; whether through writing, drawing, playing with makeup, putting outfits together, coding web pages, or even just spending way too much time on my iOS and Apple Watch layouts to make them perfect. I have also always had a passion for goal setting and finding new ways to live my best life. With all of that said, it just made sense to start a lifestyle blog, as it allows me to utilize all forms of creativity, and allows me to share my outfits, makeup looks, life hacks, and my own personal experiences with others; and so here we are.

So what is The Kat Life all about?

When I first started The Kat Life back in 2019, I would often have a hard time explaining what the main "focus" of my blog was; as I had never focused on one particular topic. Overall, my content has always fallen under the "lifestyle" category, but in the past I didn't quite know how to describe what a lifestyle blog was; especially as a lifestyle blog could actually be a variety of things, and some lifestyle blogs do have one particular focus. Some lifestyle blogs focus specifically on fitness or fitness; while others may focus specifically on beauty, mental health, self-care, goal setting, organization, productivity, or creativity. Content posted on The Kat Life focuses on a little of each of these topics, and than some. There are times where I may share content relating to relationships, or even content about making the best use of your digital devices. I am also constantly thinking of ways to expand my content, and new content that I can bring to The Kat Life. Afterall, our "lifestyle" consists more than one element right? So why not post content on a variety of the different aspects of life?

Personally, I like to think of The Kat Life as being an "indie" lifestyle magazine-type website with a personal touch. When writing my content, I like to share what I know and/or what I have learned over the years through my own personal expriences. I also like to share some of my own stories of differant thing I've dealth with during my life and provide some insight into how I felt, and how I have grown over time. I have always loved when content creators shared from their own experiences, and I actually find that I learn the most from creators who I'm able to connect with through something they've shared from their personal experiences and not just straight-forward facts. I will say that I know that not everyone wants to read about my personal experiences or hear all my thoguhts on everything, which is why I always try to make my posts skimmable by putting my main ideas into headings, and then diving into my thoughts. But I also like the have the extra content there for those who may be curious.

Why I Started The Kat Life

From a relatively young age, I have always had a love for all things beauty and fashion; and I've always loved reading lifestyle content and looking for things that I could apply to my own life. I have also always had a love for technology and I tend to spend a rather excessive amount of time on my phone and computer. So one day I decides, why not make use of all that time I spend on my computer, and start a lifestyle blog? I had always wanted to be a creator or "influencer" of some kind anyway, even before I knew it was a plausible possiblity without having move to Los Angeles or New York City; so blogging had always been right up my ally. Especially as blogging allows me to combine practically all of my interests into one, while giving be the ability to potentially inspire others.

Katherine's Favorite Posts

While I enjoy writing all of the content that I post on The Kat Life, naturally, there are some posts that I am particularly fond of for one reason or another. Some of them, I actually find myself reading when I need a little mood boost or some extra self-motivation. Others were actually quite therapeautic for me to write as they provided me with an outlet to put what I was feeling into words, and brainstorm my own ways to get through some hard days. With some posts, I simply had a lot of fun putting them together, or I particularly love the graphics I used in the post. Whatever the reason may be, some posts just stand out to me. Here are a few of my favorite posts on The Kat Life...
