By Lola Hagopian

Our Best of Austin Bloggers and Influencers series continues this week with the inspiring woman behind Peace Love Glam

Jo (Johanna) Placencio is a Texas girl through-and-through. She was born in West Colombia, Texas and then first moved to Houston before deciding to call Austin home. The goal of her lifestyle blog Peace Love Glam is to inspire, motivate and help as many women as possible.

“Helping others to see their own beauty and become the best version of themselves  is so very gratifying to me. It provides me a lot of happiness to know that I’m helping others especially when they contact me and let me know how much my IG and blog posts inspire and help them,” she told ATXgossip.

Lastly, we should ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS BE A KIND AND LOVING HUMAN BEING.
