About

Welcome to Nina Talks, a lifestyle blog by Karina Bertelli. As an OG blogger Karina continues to follow her passion for creating content, writing her little heart out, and sharing her lifestyle with her readers. 

Karina is originally from Sao Paulo Brazil but has lived in Salt Lake City, Utah for 21 years. She moved here when she was a little girl and fell in love with the beautiful mountains and snow. 

Her passion for writing and being creative comes from her mom. When Karina was seven years old, she was gifted her first journal. Her face lit up at all the possibilities and stories she could write about. Throughout the years Karina's mom continued to support her and encourage her to follow her dreams and passion for writing and being creative. 

When Karina was a senior in High School she started her first blog. It was on a platform named "Typepad" much similar to blogger. She wrote about her life as a young woman and all the crafts as well as activities she enjoyed such as camping. Years went by and many name/niche changes (as well as platforms) Karina found her voice on "Nina Talks"  which is a lifestyle blog that she shares a little bit of everything. 

Karina is married to the love of her life (who also happens to be Brazilian) Daniel. They have three kiddos who not only keep us on our toes but humble us on a daily. They are a military family, and while Daniel is on orders and going to school full time, she stays at home and runs their household while caring for their toddler(Olive) and little teenagers wannabe (Logan & Lia).

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF NINA TALKS Blog?

Nina was one of my nicknames growing up and through the years it has always brought a big smile to my face. Nina has always been unique to me in a sense and it means more than just a nickname. It means freedom, it means me doing me, it means putting my emotions out. So, naturally while changing directions of my blog, it only seemed fitting to have "Nina Talks" as the name.
