create your life with style + confidence.
Think of me as your straight-talking interwebs BFF.
I’m Melissa Walker Horn, but around here they call me Suger. Who am I? I’m a photographer and owner of a Digital Marketing Agency. Married, no kids, but lots of family close by to keep me busy. I’ve got a thing for wine and cheese, but there’s no way you’ll ever catch me eating honey carrots or apricot chicken. I love sneakers and stripes, and I hate fussy, overly styled outfits and clothing.
And do you know what? I’ve had many jobs, studied most things, and I’m not so great at the whole sticking with one career thing. Better luck next life, right? What I’ve always done is work for myself and run a blog. My story is one of self-awareness and confidence, a gift I wish I could offer every woman and girl out there. When it comes to this blog, that’s all I hope to deliver – to you, to your friend, daughter or a lady that you met on the street. And as far as I’m concerned, you have to keep showing up for people.
Suger Coat It, the blog and all the attached socials, is a place where you can be inspired to create a life you love. Not sure what that looks like for you, right now? No problem. Stick with us, and you’ll decide what you want from life and be on the road to getting it sooner than you think. I believe in living well, putting yourself first and doing something that lights you up every day.
That’s about it! Great to meet you. Welcome to Suger Coat It.

The Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch vs. Standard iPad with Apple Pencil
You want it, sure, but do you need it? One of the first comparisons I made when I purchased my iPad Pro last year was the iPad Pro vs. Standard iPad thing, especially when it came to the uses with the Apple Pencil. At the time, I was looking to replace my 2009 Macbook...
Skillshare Courses for your blog, brand or business

hey, i'm suger
I’m Melissa Walker Horn, around here they call me Suger. I'm a photographer and business owner; a sneaker-wearing, wine-drinking o.g. blogger. I love a casual ootd, my family + the beach. I’ve got a thing for cheese, but there’s no way you’ll ever catch me eating apricot chicken. I'm here for the casual ootd and stripes, and I hate fussy, overly styled clothing and ruffles.
My story is one of self-awareness and confidence, a gift I wish I could offer every woman and girl out there. When it comes to this blog, that’s all I hope to deliver – to you, to your friend, daughter or a lady that you met on the street. And as far as I’m concerned, you have to keep showing up for people.
