ABOUT
CASEY

After graduating college in 2015, I recognized a theme amongst my friends - uncertainty. None of us knew what we were doing with our post-graduate lives despite portraying the complete opposite on social media. Sound familiar?…

Thus, the birth of Almost Fabulous Me. What started in 2015 as an online diary dedicated to sharing the reality of my post-grad life has morphed into a full-fledged lifestyle blog and now, a brand, Papaya Drive.

I love relationship building through my online community and I’m so grateful to have each of you as a part of that!
