Welcome to Abbey Kay — a place to be filled with encouragement through real life struggles, a source to ethical fashion & trendy finds, & a guide to my life in Reno, NV.
A few things about me: I desperately want others to know they are seen, heard, & not alone. I believe you should love your body at every stage in life. I think finding a balance in everything you do is more important than striving for perfection. I will always drink black coffee & never not have black nails. I try my best to be open, honest, & real by showing up for others.
Always know that life is unpredictable, but it’s still worth experiencing every up & down it has to offer.
I’m so glad you’re here & can’t wait to connect!
Be encouraged. Be inspired. Be seen.
