If you have been following my blog and my Instagram over the past few years, you can see that I have a blogging bestie who I enjoy spending time with, both in my personal and professional life! If you don’t already know her, say hello to this special glow girl, Janet Gunn, Founder of the incredibly inspiring blog The Grateful Gardenia. We met at a charity luncheon three years ago and have been working together, partnering on projects ever since.
Janet is beautiful inside and out. She started her blog from a place of gratitude and shares her everyday tips and tricks on how to lead a more fulfilled, beautiful life. She also creates the most gorgeous style, beauty, and travel content through her Instagram, stories, articles, and videos, helping women to enrich their everyday lives. I adore her aesthetic and impeccable taste, plus she does everything with grace and style.
A former Texas girl and Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, Janet has a very colorful resume; having worked as a flight attendant, actress, jewelry designer, and now an LA lifestyle influencer with incredible fashion style. Her latest partnership is a co-branded fashion line with designer Franne Golde.
