In January 2010 she moved to Los Angeles, California, to focus on her modeling career and during her 2½ years there she started food blogging. Her food blog is also regularly featured on social media, Podcasts, and other blogs. Bond's blog focuses on her original recipes based on the season, sponsored posts, restaurant reviews, and food-related themes in general.
