About MN Girl in LA


Jamie was born and raised in Minnesota.  She will always have her midwest roots ingrained in her, but her heart was made for California.  The sunshine, the creative energy, and her love for wine and art makes her fit right in.  She’s been here two years, has discovered her love for writing, photography, travel and wine, and now she wants to share it all with you.

Jamie also has worked in the grocery retail industry for 13 years of her life, and knows a lot about snacks, foods, and the grocery store.  She loves sharing her experiences, and loves sharing healthy ways of eating and snacking.  Jamie is currently in the working industry of sales for her daytime job, so she knows the importance of getting word out there about your product, and how important it is to promote, and connect with consumers.  She has taken on a huge interest into the natural products, and particularly loves reviewing healthy snacks.

Jamie is also a hobbyist photographer.  When she arrived in California, she took her passion to photography to heart, and was out shooting a ton as she explored every part of LA.  She found a few photography groups to be apart of, and now enjoys sharing with others what she has learned along the way.  She has self taught herself the methods of photography.  She will be the first to admit she doesn’t know everything, but will happily share what she does know.

Jamie is open to working with PR Companies and Brands to help promote your products, services, and events.  For further information please feel free to contact her at: demetrie1930@gmail.com

        You mean my move from MN to CA? =) Well, I wanted to get away from the snow, but the honest truth is that a guy led me here. CA was never on my map of places to move to, I was actually looking to go East (South Carolina) but fate stepped in. =) And I do love it out here!

    Hi Jamie, it’s so nice to stop here again. By the way, I love your cover photo. I always wonder why people choose to move… just because they want to or if it was an employment reason. Even with a good fit, I wonder if I would have the courage to change my location, for that reason. I find that courageous. I look forward to following your journey!

    • Jamie

      Victoria, Thanks so much for stopping by =) Email me sometime and I can tell you the whole story as to why I moved.

      But, it’s the best decision I ever made for myself!

    I randomly stumbled upon this in my search for “MN favorite sald.” I am from MN and made the move to Orange Coubty 13 years ago. Best decision of my life! A fellow MN transplant and I are hosting a dinner and decided to introduce our friends to some MN favorites… Tater tot hot dish, taco dip, pop, etc. I was looking for a salad to go with the theme and since I’ve been away so long my MN brain was a bit rusty and I had to Google. Enjoy CA and good luck to you! :)

    • Jamie

      Ahhh, loved hearing your story. It’s great out here, isn’t it? =) Now there’s an idea, a night of MN dishes for my CA friends!

    I’m a Minnesota girl as well, living in San Diego now for about 14 years. I always miss the seasons this time of year and winter, especially. Good thing we live close enough to the mountains!
