Finding Inspiration at Every Turn
​
The Lifestyle Historian is about exploring connections and revealing the richness of history in everyday life. Through engaging education, stories of people, places, and things from around the world are discovered and highlighted, proving that we are all more connected than we think. At The Lifestyle Historian, history isn’t just for textbooks- it is alive and relevant.
Julia Reinert, founder of The Lifestyle Historian, has always been captivated by history—not just through traditional textbooks but through the objects and experiences that define different time periods. From fashion and decorative items to furniture and beauty tools, Julia’s fascination lies in the stories these objects tell about the people who used them. An avid reader, published writer, and lifelong researcher, Julia’s love for history is intertwined with her passions for antiques, travel, tea, and entertaining.
Julia’s career began as a reporter for a small newspaper while she obtained her degree in Third World, Non-Western History from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After her graduate studies in International Relations and over the course of 20 years in marketing, public relations, event planning, and brand management, Julia worked with clients across various industries, honing her expertise in crafting compelling narratives and strategic campaigns. She’s planned over 1,200 events and developed brand strategies for a wide range of businesses, with a special focus on the art and design world.
In February 2025, Julia took her passion project full-time, launching The Lifestyle Historian. The company was born out of her desire to share her deep knowledge of history and its connection to everyday life through objects. As a lifelong student and world traveler, she created The Lifestyle Historian to educate, inspire, and connect people to the rich stories behind the things they use, wear, and collect.
In addition to educating audiences on the historical significance of objects, Julia provides a full suite of services, including marketing strategy, brand management, content creation, and event planning. With her unique background, Julia is dedicated to helping businesses craft meaningful, historically rooted narratives that resonate with their audience.
