Welp!!

My period is beating my ass and I really detest when I'm this miserable.

Nature might just be healing

This is all I want to do on warm summer nights, but alas...

That white dress? YES!

“I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and a sword in my hands.” ― Zora Neale Hurston Today feels like a peaky mountain, rainbows/harps/swords kind of day. Hoping that carries through 2026.

My eyebrow lady is so sweet. I walked in and she started gushing about how she saw me on TV and I looked so beautiful 🥰 she always sees me in sweats and nothing but a moisturized face so she loves when I'm dolled up lol

FACTS

I got height-catfished once. I didn't even bring it up but he did - by telling me EYE must be taller than I thought. Man told me I got my own height wrong so he could keep up his lie lol. I wish I had a tape measure in my bag that night LMAO
