Lifevesting means discovering who you are and what you are capable of. It means investing in yourself and embracing a three-dimensional life without unnecessary clutter. What is a lifevestment? It is anything that brings you happiness and propels you into the future as a stronger person. It means investing your money and your time wisely. It’s moving beyond the information overload of our generation, moving beyond the endless stream of things we know aren’t important to us towards a life that makes us truly happy.
Let’s invest in ourselves!
For more details on Lifevesting’s “birth story” see this post.
Lifevesting Founder: Ashley, 24.
I currently work in the finance industry in Chicago, IL. I own the most wonderful pug named Apollo and have the most amazing boyfriend, Ian. Losing my father to cancer when I was 22 left me lost for a long time. Lifevesting was born from my desire to re-invest in myself and to help others invest in their potential.
All photos on Lifevesting are mine unless otherwise noted. Once upon a time my father and I owned a photography business together so a lot of the images are old fashion shots I did back when I was 18. Please request permission if you would like to use them.

I can second what Helena says…I’ve also been trying to find ways to be more positive as lately I’ve been sucked into a bad rut. Glad you found me!
