About Me

Hi bestie! I’m Jasmine, the girl behind The Girl in Gucci Glasses. I grew up mostly in Europe as a military brat, which gave me a love for people, different cultures, and seeing life from more than one perspective. A health scare in 2019 also taught me not to spend so much time worrying about the little things or waiting for the “right” moment.

I’ll tell you what I think, share what I’m learning, and hopefully make you feel a little less alone in your own messy middle. Come hang out. There’s always room for one more.
