Hello Beautiful Humans,

I cannot believe PYM is 2 years old now. I’ve owned my blog for almost 3 years in total, and October 3rd marks the second year of Pretty, Young & Motivated.

I started my blog out as Somewhere Between Vogue & Van Gogh, which consisted of art and fashion type posts. However, I began to find my voice around women empowerment, body positivity and mental health. These are all things I have become passionate about moving into adulthood and I really wanted to share my perspective with the world.

After quitting cheerleading and traveling to France, I found my confidence and my voice. Thanks to a few friends and some traveling, I was inspired to create Pretty, Young & Motivated. I wanted to connect with women around my age, and older, to inspire positivity and confidence in them.

That is still my goal with PYM.

PYM has allowed my readers to follow along with me on my journey of being a young adult and navigating through mental health, body image and career moves. I’m beyond thankful to have this platform to share and create a conversation around topics I am passionate about. I never thought my blog would come this far, and I’m constantly overwhelmed with the amount of support and positive feedback I receive.

In honor of 2 years of blogging on the PYM platform, I want to share a few of my favorite posts. I’d love to hear your feedback as well!
