Hello, gorgeous! πŸ‘‹πŸ»

I’m Nikki Joy, also known as @nikkinthecity πŸ‘ΈπŸ»

Let me tell you a little more about me:

πŸ“I’m a twenty-something living in the suburbs Maryland, right outside of the Washington, D.C. area.

πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ’»From 9-5pm, you can find me working at global biotechnology company as a Talent Acquisition Partner. I live out my passion every day helping people find the next best chapter in their career at an organization focus on saving millions of lives globally. It’s truly rewarding!

πŸ‘œ I’m a self-proclaimed shopaholic who loves finding budget friendly ways to stay stylish and fashionable, whether that’s going budget hunting, couponing, or thrifting. I get a thrill from finding designer items discounted significantly lower than retail!

πŸ’…πŸ» You can count on me to share my DIYs and adulting hacks. (Like how to do your own gel nails and eyelash extensions at home!)

πŸ’Έ I admit, I’m bougie, but on a budget! I’m a student of Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University. You’ll see me share my journey on my social media and see why budgeting and money is important to me.

πŸ‘Ÿ Trying to find a balance between work and life obviously includes prioritizing a healthy lifestyle. Between my love for running, Peloton, and eating healthy via Weight Watchers β€” I’m determined to meet my goals in this area by my 30th birthday (in 2021).
