Welcome to Lemon Stripes…

While working full time in marketing in the wellness industry, Julia started Lemon Stripes in 2010 as a creative outlet to share healthy recipes and outfit ideas with friends and family.

Today, the site has been reimagined and revamped into a creative space that covers topics from motherhood to home decor, to healthy recipes and outfit ideas, along with wellness advice, and more.

Her goal is to make you smile on a daily basis, but also to talk about real topics in an honest way.

In 2024 she published her first cookbook, Garden Grown, a sumptuous garden-to-table cookbook packed with over 100 colorful, easy-to-make, family-friendly recipes, and scattered with gardening tips along the way.

In 2025, she launched her best-selling Substack, Medicated Millennial Mom.

Julia lives in Westport, CT with her husband Anel, their daughter Amalia, son, Luca, their Pit mix, Boots, and 13 chickens. They strive to live a balanced and healthy lifestyle as parents and fellow entrepreneurs.

She is happiest with her family by the sea, cooking a meal for friends, and reading books with her babies.
