Background on Sara:
As a lifestyle, fashion, and beauty influencer, most people would not assume some of the hardships that Sara Lovestyle has endured. Sara was born in a refugee camp in Sudan after her parents escaped a civil war. Being birthed in such conditions showed Sara the firsthand reality of life, and immediately inspired her to want more. After moving to America and receiving an education from the University of Missouri, Sara's life changed yet again when her first child was born and shortly after she experienced a heart attack. Such major health concerns at an extremely young age, forced Sara to take her health and wellness more seriously. Because of her desire to live for her children, Sara was inspired to create a life full of health, happiness, and wholeness. Now being a mom of two and her first-born being diagnosed with Autism, Sara's advocacy extends to many different areas of passion. The 'Lovestyle' name was born out of Sara's love for the many hats she wears - a mom, a wife, an entrepreneur, and an advocate. Sara has dedicated her entire platform to sharing her experiences in hopes that it will inspire someone else to live their best 'lovestyle' life as well, on their own terms.
