Welcome to Love Beauty Thrive: Mediterranean Diet Made Simple
Hi friends, welcome to Love Beauty Thrive!
I’m Tamara, the creative force behind this corner of the internet.
My passion for wellness and books started early—I’ve always believed that healthy habits are the path to a happy life. Back when I was a researcher and educator, I discovered the Mediterranean Diet lifestyle and fell in love with its simple, joyful approach to health. From sharing nutritious meals with friends to embracing natural movement and relaxation, I began elevating my everyday routines into a Mediterranean-inspired way of living.
In 2017, I started Love Beauty Thrive to share my wellness journey, never imagining it would grow into both a writing career and a supportive community. From nutritious meal ideas to the secrets of the Blue Zones, the Mediterranean Diet lifestyle has truly transformed my life.
Starting a family with my husband deepened my commitment to wellness. I wanted to create a better lifestyle for our kids, turning our hectic days into a vibrant, nourished, and mindful life. I’m not a chef, food photographer, or health professional—just a girl, wife, and mom of two, determined to learn and share one of the world’s healthiest ways to eat and live.
In 2025, I rebranded Love Beauty Thrive to focus on Mediterranean Diet and Blue Zones-inspired living. It’s been incredible to see how it’s helped so many embrace healthier, more fulfilling lives.
As a book lover, reading is also an essential part of my healthy lifestyle. That’s why I created the Reading Room—a special part of Love Beauty Thrive where I continue to share Book of the Month selections and celebrity book club picks.
My goal is to share what I learn about the Mediterranean Diet and its benefits in a way that’s simple and achievable for busy people and families – with a touch of book club love – for a life filled with love, beauty, and thriving health.
I’m so happy you’re here!
