A Note From McKenzie

About Me...

I'm a lifestyle blogger and content creator living in Atlanta, Georgia. I'm a wife to my husband, Gil, and mom to my pup Kobe. I'm passionate about travel, fashion, and wellness, all of which you can find me sharing on here. 

Besides sharing content on my own platforms, I work with small businesses as a Social Video Strategist, helping them grow their business by taking video content creation off their plate and creating content that shows off their unique offers. 

After having a boutique in Atlanta for 3 years, I can't seem to pull myself away from apparel markets and the fashion industry. I love it too much! Now I help manage a showroom in Atlanta and work apparel markets throughout the year selling our lines.

When I'm not editing videos for my clients or selling clothes at market, you can probably find me out doing something active with my husband or planning our next trip! 

Q. What is something currently on your bucket list?

I have had a goal to visit all 50 states before my 30's so I hope to finish that this year. I only have one left - Alaska!

Q. How did you meet your husband?

Being from Mississippi with zero mutual friends of his makes for a crazy story! We bumped into each other in Key West on spring break my senior year (his junior year) of college. I was immediately intrigued and after chatting for a few minutes, we discovered we were both moving to Austin that summer. I got home, couldn't stop thinking about him, and basically uprooted all I had known for a guy I thought I would never see again. After moving to Austin, we ran back into each other, discovered we were neighbors, and the rest is history! I stayed after that summer for grad school and we did long distance for a couple years until I moved to Atlanta.

Q. What is your favorite way to relax and unwind? 

On a day to day basis, I love spending my after-work hours cooking dinner for my husband followed up by some sort of wellness practice. You can usually find us taking our pup for a short walk after dinner and using our infrared sauna a couple times a week! Magnesium, red light therapy, and a good book are part of our night routine as well.

Q. What is the most adventurous thing you've ever done?

I'd have to say studying abroad alone or opening a storefront in a city I had never been to. I love taking risks and getting uncomfortable because I feel it's where the most growth happens and makes life fun and interesting. 

Q. What is your biggest life goal?

It sounds cliche but my biggest goal is to impact others for the better. Whether it's empowering them to finally start their business, form new healthy habits, or travel somewhere new, I love helping people get out of their comfort zones and dream bigger. I pray every day that people feel the love of Jesus through their interactions with me!
