I’m Elena, but my friends call me EK. I grew up in Connecticut and never thought I’d move back after college, but over time, I realized I wasn't stuck in the suburbs, I thrive in them. After more than 25 years here, I’ve watched too many of my favorite local spots disappear simply because people didn’t know about them.That’s why I started EverydayEK. I was over watching people choose chains instead of the local coffee shops right around the corner (and honestly, they’re 10x better)! EverydayEK is my way of sharing my corner of Connecticut—everything from my take on everyday life to favorite local spots, boutique workout classes, and effortless outfits.
