Meet Happily "Eva" After!
After 15 years as an actress, new mom Eva Amurri Martino felt It only right to follow her own dreams and passions as an inspiration to her daughter, and launched her beloved and very popular fashion, travel, and motherhood blog, Happily Eva After. As a mom of two toddlers, Eva loves visiting local farms and taking walks as a family, can not get enough of Bar Taco, and prioritizes finding balance with work and family – wherever and however possible. She swears by iS Clinical Cleaning Complex face wash, and would binge-watch shows on Netflix if she had some extra free time. Eva is both incredibly interesting and perpetually interested, while not being afraid to share those tough mommy moments we all experience day to day. Whether you are looking for travel tips, fun activities to do with the little ones, or just enjoy that guilty pleasure that comes with reading a daily blog you love just for you, Eva makes us all feel a little happier ever after.
