I have been noticing a lot of new faces over here on BasicallyB, so I thought I would share more about the girl behind the computer screen and Instagram.
I love getting to know y’all through comments or direct messages on social media, so I thought it would be fun to share more about who I am personally. You know I share a lot of fashion, travel, and food – and I think by having a personal connection would be beneficial.
I would love to know if we have something in common, or if you want to know anything else about me please ask away! I try to be an open book and fully transparent.
