Hey Friends! I’m Mel
“I’ve had hippiechiklifestyle for quite a min now. It’s supposed to be MY blog… where I don’t have to keep all of my ideas, brands, and magical randomness separated.
I don’t know if y’all know this but I have about 6 diff IG pages for all the different things I do lol….. so THIS blog is supposed to be FOR ME to release, and a reflection of MY LIFE & all the things it encompasses. Hippiechiklifestyle is my own personal outlet. A safe haven I’m creating for myself… where I can just let loose and BE FREE!
With that being said it’s givinnnnn Beauty, Fashion, Travel, Food, Photography, Wellness, Poetry, Art, & Culture!!! Welcome to Hippiechiklifestyle yallll!!!
