Hello readers,

I am Emily McLaughlin, the founder, editor and primary content provider for Stay Healthy, Stay Happy. SHSH is a recreational blog coming to you from the Greater Boston Area.

I am a fitness instructor and  health-conscious chef. I teach a number of classes, but am most passionate about Zumba and a little ballet/yoga fusion class I like to call Yollet. When I find time to cook, my recipes are typically easy-to-follow, quick to prepare and, of course, as healthy as possible.

I recently graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with my Bachelor’s Degree in both journalism and communication. Post-college, I was lucky enough to land a career in my field of study. I currently work full-time with TechTarget in Newton.

Previously, SHSH was focused on the Pioneer Valley and the ongoings there. Follow me as I move back to the eastern side of the state and explore the health and fitness opportunities in this area.

The contributing writers of Stay Healthy, Stay Happy are a group of journalists, exercise instructors and health enthusiasts, all of whom are passionate about providing you with ways to eat healthy, exercise effectively and maintain peace of mind.

I try to update Stay Health, Stay Happy a few times a week. Readers can find content varying from fitness, health, diet and beauty to tips to stay motivated, happy and inspired.

Feel free to leave comments, questions and suggestions!

Yours truly,

Emily Rose
