All Things Fashion: Trends, Thrifting, & Personal Style with Michelle Reed & Karissa Widder
Michelle Reed Gauthier is a lifestyle vlogger and digital content creator. On youtube and Instagram, Michelle chats about her Christian faith, how she navigates life in her 20’s, her favorite recipes, home and fashion finds, health and fitness, her marriage, and more. I have followed Michelle for years, and I admire her genuine love for the Lord and desire to honor him in every area of her life.
Karissa Widder loves all things color and creativity. She is the founder of Kindred by K!, a digital marketing agency specializing in content creation and social media management. Her favorite part about social media is community and the opportunity to connect with Kindred spirits, who always make for the best conversations. Karissa is another sweet sister in Christ, and I admire her commitment to real and honest conversations about her faith, womanhood, marriage, and more. Of course, I love everything she and Michelle have to say about fashion too.
