behind the blog

how it all began

Picture this: It’s 2015, and I’m a junior in high school making my first wobbly steps into content creation. But the real magic? That happened in December 2021, while I was knee-deep in my graduate studies at the University of Chicago. Watching incredible creators build these amazing online communities lit a fire in me – I just knew I had to create something special of my own.

About Me

hey, i’m maya

I’m a 25 year old content creator, located in Chicago, IL. I started off as a beauty lifestyle creator and I am currently branching off to become more of a midsize fashion creator (hence the blog theme 🙂 I’m a girly who believes that everyone should feel comfortable and beautiful in their clothes and want to bring more representation to the midsize community. So, if you’re interested in that you’re in the perfect spot!
