Hello. I'm Annie...
Based in Toronto, Canada, I started blogging in 2015 to share my thoughts on fashion, film, and literature. Shortly after, I watched The True Cost documentary about the fashion industry's destructive impact on people and the planet, which began my journey toward shopping ethically and living sustainably. Today, I embrace slow fashion, support indie designers, and buy second-hand whenever possible.
Only a few years ago, my interests in ethical fashion, clean beauty, and mindful consumption were considered niche, but they have recently become more mainstream. I break down my findings and personal practices into simple, actionable steps that readers can easily implement.
I am a published fiction author, dabble in travel photography, and have a liberal arts background. For over 14 years, I've been on a spiritual journey, studying Kabbalah and other nonreligious spiritual wisdom. In 2018, I became a certified intuitive healer, helping others heal self-limiting beliefs and long-standing physical and emotional issues.
My aim here on Zanniee.com is to offer practical solutions, from recommending the perfect non-toxic lipstick to sharing deep spiritual teachings. Lately, I've been writing more essays and long-form content, and I enjoy using this blog as a lab for creative experiments. Oh, and I am on the cusp of Pisces and Aquarius if that explains anything. If you have a question or want to say hi, feel free to get in touch.
