Where am I based?
I’m based in Montreal, Quebec. A proud Canadian and a proud Quebecer.
What are my origins?
I am Middle-Eastern: an olive-skinned girl, hence the sobriquet Basic Olive Chick.
What do I do for a living?
I’m a healthcare professional. This blog, however, has nothing to do with my current professional degree. It is my means of artistic release.
Why a blog?
I love love love love love writing! Did I mention that I love writing? I have always longed to publish my own novel (and that’s definitely not out of the picture). Writing gives me peace and allows me to explore my feelings about subjects that I might otherwise find difficult to voice.
Why bath bombs?
Surely, this is the most common question I get. People who know me in the real world ask this question a lot. I’m a sucker for all things chemistry. And what better way to relax and help with stress than to take a bath. Bath bombs are therefore a two-in-one kind of fun!
How do I make money from Basic Olive Chick?
As of March 2022, I have joined Adsense and will see where this leads me! My goal is to be able to monetize things properly eventually.
Are my posts sponsored?
No. Unless otherwise stated, none of my posts are presently sponsored.
I’d like to work with you. How do I go about it?
You can shoot me an email at admin@basicolive.com! I’ll be sure to respond in a timely manner and we can discover how to best collaborate.
