Self-care enthusiast and beauty/fashion influencer Tiffany Laibhen has always felt a calling to do and be more than what was surrounding her. As a natural born creative with a large outlook on life, working a typical 9-5 job and paying off student loans for the rest of her life never seemed like a viable option.

Relying on divine faith and optimism, Tiffany is currently on the path to finding her purpose by exploring all of her creative gifts one at a time and hoping to inspire others along the way.
