Hello and welcome to my personal blog!

My name is Zhanna and this little blog is about all of the things I love most–my family, friends, wellness, cooking, fashion…..and bows.

My life was pretty normal, spent with my husband and our beautiful two year old daughter, then  one day the world stopped when I found a lump in my breast. In the beginning, I ignored it because I was really young and I didn’t think it could happen to me. A couple of months later, inadvertently, my friend started talking to me about cancer and I remembered my lump. I made an appointment the very next day. I was 28 years old with no family history, and because of that I was misdiagnosed for four months.

After my diagnosis my life completely changed. The world became brighter, moments became more precious.  I wanted to change the world around me, to be healthier with each recipe, each product, and each thought (positive outlook=positive life). One day I want my daughter Emma to be able to look back at my journey and be proud. I want her to know that there is a lot of bumps in the road but it’s what you do with them that really matters. This is my journey, which I take one day at a time, thankful for each moment.

    Warrior Woman- You and I have alot in common, I am a 3 1/2 year breast cancer survivor. I understand completely about the world being a brighter place, and staying strong for your daughter. We truly do not know our own strength until we are asked to dig deep within. Congratulations on 2 years…..many more birthdays to come!

    Stay Strong,

    I learned of “Life and Bows” through Twitter. Your story is very nice, and I’m glad to be here. For you to bring about such positive influence and such positive material is incredible. Very pleased for how times have changed for you since finding about the lump in your breast. I wish you nothing but the best in all aspects of life. Please take care and have a great day/night.
