HEY THERE!
I’m Sakura
Hello! I’m Sakura. This place has been my little creative journal since 2014, where I share my love for documenting my life, fashion, beauty, travel, tips, and more. It started as a creative outlet for me for years before I became a full-time content creator in 2019. I’m a fiance to my wonderful partner, Kell, a mother to our precious 3-year-old daughter, Milai, and a dog mama to our miniature schnauzer, Winston. We live in Phoenix, Arizona, and I’m incredibly grateful for my life + journey.
It can be challenging navigating this space at times, especially in a constantly evolving industry, but I know I love what I do. I have been searching for my alignment, and I will continue to follow my intuition daily as I share things here. I want my blog to be a visual journal + magazine of all things I love, and I hope this space brings you joy, inspiration, comfort, and creativity.
Thank you for being here. It means so much to me!

I edit my photos in Adobe Lightroom using my presets I have created. I sell them HERE and give you a step by step video on how I edit!
