Say what you will about influencers but they’re the most significant way to market and view products you’d want. They’re like our modern-day models only a little more relatable and in-depth.

Here at Lovin Saudi, we are dedicated to showcasing all that the Kingdom’s got to offer. That, of course, means we’ll cover influential Saudis or residents of Saudi who continue bringing pride and spreading the nation’s modernity and talent to the rest of the social sphere.

Lama Al-Akeel, the Jeddah-based beauty, fashion and lifestyle blogger, with more than 400,000 followers is a true testament to this success.

Get to know her through these next six facts we’re about to uncover.

1. She’s only 24 years old!

Al-Akeel, who has gathered almost 500,000 followers, is only twenty-four years old. This is quite difficult to grasp considering the amount of success she’s had in the last few years.

Especially, since she’s worked with the fashion industry’s top-notch designers and brands.
