Who Am I, And Why Am I Here?

Hello! I'm so happy that you've taken an interest in my blog. There are millions of websites across the internet and I am ecstatic that you have chosen to spend your time on this one. I hope you stay a while!

First and foremost, I'd like to tell you a little about myself. In my personal experience, I enjoy content more when I feel I have a better understanding of the creator. Whether you become a member of my blog, join a program or follow me on Instagram, my main concern is that you have a good experience with what I create.

I'm Mercedes Michelle, but most people call me Sadie. I'm a 21 year old full-time college student living in Cleveland, Ohio. I study psychology and have dreams of becoming a child psychologist. Why am I creating a fashion blog, you might ask?

I have an intense love and interest for everything fashion, self care (which to me, means skin/hair care, healthy habits/food, and self love). This probably started when I was a child around the age of 12, which is when I began modeling.

My stepmother at the time was a photographer, and would use me for test shots and to experiment with lighting, posing and editing. I immediately fell in love with being in front of the camera. It became my hobby and my passion.

While I still love modeling, I've realized that it forced me to be hyper-focused on my appearance. I began obsessing over my skin, my makeup, my style, my hair and my weight. I needed to look perfect for the camera. It was toxic, and led me down some unhealthy roads. I learned a lot about what to do and what not to do when it comes to beauty.

This is why I want to share my tips and tricks. I want to inspire and uplift women, giving them healthy beauty secrets so they can skip the trial and error that I went through. I aim to help others curate their own unique style that allows them to feel confident in their own skin.

I hope you find this blog to be a safe space to share your thoughts and opinions.
