Welcome to To Deborah Savage. My name is Debbie, a fashion hunter, beauty guru, and gym rat. I am also a wife and mother who loves to share about her everyday life. I am a Cambodian-American who was born in Virginia and raised in Utah. For the past 20+ years, I have called Orange County, CA, home sweet home.
I started my blog in 2016 as a form of therapy. You see, I am quite shy and introverted, which affected my confidence for several years. Launching a blog seemed like the perfect idea to get me out of my shell and use my authentic voice. I figured it wouldn’t be too hard to share my love for makeup, style, and fitness. Let me tell you, it has been quite the journey! Over seven years later, I am still here creating content — this blog has changed my life.
If you are new here, I created my first business in 2006, Baby Emi Jewelry, which was affectionately named after my first daughter Emi. It was important to me to honor my culture and one of my favorite traditions is gifting babies with Cambodian Jingle Bell Anklets. Tradition has it that the light whimsical sounds ward off bad spirits to keep the baby safe, and parents love knowing where their babies are.
Our Jingle Bells Anklets were a complete success. They were featured on The View, spotlighted in major magazines, raved about by new moms worldwide, and seen on some of Hollywood’s tiniest trendsetters. But for the past 13 years, this product lay dormant as I took time off to focus on my growing family. Three kids and two dogs later, I am excited to announce that Baby Emi Jewelry is open again for business! You will love our luxurious offering of anklets, bangles, bracelets, and necklaces for babies to moms.
Thank you for making it this far and reading about my story. Your support means so much to me and I cherish the connections I have made throughout this journey. I am thrilled to share with you my little corner of the world.
