I first started The Avid Pen as a place to celebrate both the artistic world whether it be through art, beauty/skincare, fashion, food or travel. Since beginning the blog, I have had the opportunity to meet so many of the artists, creatives and female entrepreneurs who inspire me which is something I would have never imagined being able to do.
