Inspired Salon Sarah Ashley Photography-46.jpg

If you just happened upon my blog and you have no idea who I am, Let me tell ya! I’m Melinda. I’m a 30 something mommy to 3 girls and am married to my best friend, Jared. I’m a part time hairstylist and work from my home in my cute little in-home salon. Guess what?…I also have clinical depression and anxiety. No secrets here. I do my best each day to be the best version of myself to best serve my family despite the weight of living with depression. I love God and do my best to love like Jesus. Equality and justice are very important to me but I also love all things hair and makeup. On my blog you will find posts on a number of different topics. I am inspired by many things.

Not too long ago I was trying to make it as a social media influencer and beauty blogger but I just have way too many topics that I care about to be only a beauty blogger. Also, I realized that being an influencer (or trying to be) was not for me. I’d rather share ideas, thoughts, and products with my readers without pushing any products. I miss the days of girlfriends getting together and naturally sharing outfit and beauty tips rather than the influenced, impulse purchasing of today. If I somehow make a buck or two from blogging, so be it but this is solely a hobby blog. I love writing and I especially love writing about the topics that inspire this mother. Hence the name, A Mother Inspired.
