Tomorrow will be the launch of my very own Instagram Live series– Bella Vita with Chelsea Patricia! I have had a lot of time to think lately (haven’t we all), and one of the things I have been musing on is that fact that I am thankful to know, either through social media or through real life meeting, a whole bunch of talented and knowledgeable individuals.
I reached out to several of these individuals to ask them to talk about some interesting topics that may prove valuable in this weird time in human history: topics ranging from art, writing, cocktails, and recipes to physical and mental health and wellness. I do so hope you’ll tune in with us to learn something, stay inspired and be entertained!
My blog name is a combination of belissima, which means “beautiful” in Italian, with my name, Chelsea. Spinning off of that concept, I have decided to name my Instagram live series Bella Vita with Chelsea Patricia which means “beautiful life” in Italian. The series isn’t niched down to any one genre–I want to explore all facets of this “beautiful life” with you. As an aside, I named it Bella Vita instead of Beautiful Life because every time I say it I start singing that Ace of Base song. You know the one.
I will be creating countdown timers in my stories that you can save to set yourself a reminder (I literally just learned yesterday that this is a thing), and you can even share it to your own stories for your friends to join in, too! All you do is click on the little arrow in the upper right-hand corner of the countdown timer and follow the directions from there!
We will be going live every Sunday at 1:15est and Tuesday at 4:15est for the foreseeable future. I will update this list as I fill the schedule out. I will hopefully also be linking to archived footage as we go along :)
UPDATED: All episodes are past, and those that have a permanent place in my IGTV have been both linked and embedded for your viewing pleasure.

I asked Christina to take us through a simple yoga flow. I know that I for one, not a yogi, get overwhelmed trying to doing yoga on my own, so Christina is creating a yoga flow that will be simple, easy to remember, and useful daily to combat stress, anxiety, and sleep issues.
