Introducing MB&C
We created Mind, Body, and City as a space to reflect, connect, and document the moments that shape us. As two friends navigating school, anxiety, and early adulthood, we found ourselves constantly oversharing—about our thoughts, routines, travels, and everything in between. So we decided to give those conversations a home.
This blog is a curated extension of our lives: honest reflections on mental health and personal growth (Mind), thoughtful takes on wellness and physical well-being (Body), and stories from our favorite cities, from hidden gems to must-try spots (City).
Living on opposite coasts—Allana in California and Harper in New York—this blog is also a way for us to stay connected and continue sharing our journeys with each other and with all of you.
At its core, Mind, Body, and City is about building community through relatability. Whether you're here for a restaurant recommendation, a wellness tip, or simply to feel a little less alone, we're glad you found us. If we can help—or even just entertain—one person, then we've done what we set out to do.
Who are we…

Allana
While I’m originally from Wisconsin, I now live in OC and am working towards my degree in Health Sciences and Kinesiology. I am super passionate about fitness, wellness, and living a balanced life, and hope to turn that passion into a career in the health and wellness field.
What I do…
I am an extern for the perioperative care unit at a few hospitals in my area. If I’m not at the hospital, you can find me working as a server and bartender at a restaurant in Newport Beach. I love to cook and explore new restaurants, and I hope to inspire others to share the appreciation that I have for the industry.
Harper
I’m a graduate student at NYU, where I study international law with a focus on global justice and human rights. Originally from San Diego, I now call New York home, and spend much of my time exploring the intersections of travel, culture, and storytelling.
What I do…
I’m a photographer, content creator, and author for Mind, Body, and City, where I document city life, mental health, and my favorite places to eat, drink, and wander. If you like our content, check out the vlogs I edit and post on Youtube! Outside of the blog, I co-host the Pretty&Petty Podcast, a space for candid conversations on pop culture, life as a student, and irrelevant rants.
