Hi! I’m Alison and I created Prettier in Person with the whole idea that things are always better in person than what we can see through pictures including ourselves.
I grew up in the great state of Arizona very confused what I was doing with my life, and to a point I still am, I mean what twenty- something isn’t? But being confused and then being bombarded with pictures of old friends, classmates, and coworkers seemingly living life way better than you can take a toll. I had to teach myself that yeah maybe they are having a good life, or not since sometimes pictures lie, but even if they are that doesn’t mean your life is less.
I had this blog idea in my head since 2020 but never fully had the confidence to just do it until now. I had to just tell myself what’s the worst that could happen, and sometimes that is really all you need to hear.
One thing that I always loved to do was pick out outfits. I didn’t always have the confidence to wear them out of the house when I was growing up, but I loved being able mess around and find different ways to feel confident and good.
All I want to do is provide a space that helps give what I searched years for. A way to feel confident in yourself no matter what you might be dealing with. Whether that be through clothes, makeup, working out, cooking. I have tried it all and I think experimenting is essential for growth and growth is essential for life.
