Meaning in Makeup

Haven't done my makeup in ages and actually filmed how I got the look for once. Video will hopefully be up soon! Also better shots of my glasses! Not a sponsored post, I just really love the glasses. 1 they go with my purple makeup and 2 they match my all my piercings. I wish it was in silver since that's what all my jewelry is. But still cute and I get compliments on them whenever I wear them outside the house.

All eyeshadow was by . 🥰

Got an industrial done on my right ear yesterday! Grateful I could keep my helix piercing as well. I was feeling awful bc of a lack of energy from my chronic illness and pain symptoms. My normal fatigue and the sudden heat wave was kicking my bootay. But I didn't want to cancel the appt. Both mentor and mentee .skelly said I was a badass for still coming and doing this during that time of the month, but I'm pretty sure I've had other piercings done like that over the years. TBH my cramps are worse than a quick piercing and often feel like 🔪 pains as well. The full blown cramps kicked in once I got home, which was probably why I was feeling so off leading up to the appt. 🫠 I may not be smiling in the one pic bc of how my symptoms were flaring, but I am extremely happy with the industrial! Also enjoy the cute piercing glasses from .

I can honestly say my conch piercings hurt more than this, and stung for a good week after having them done bc the cartilage was thicker. This feels like my helix tbh, which wasn't too bad. The conches and this industrial were such wonderful experiences at Nexus Studio. Lynn and Alex walk you through every step of the process, so you know what to expect, including the healing process. Both were so kind and just as excited as you are about the new piercings. Looking for q***r owned businesses to support this Pride month of June, I highly recommend them! Although I think you should support them year round. 😉

I have been a long time fan, and even got into trouble for being on their fan boards at 14 y/o 😂. But I made some friends that I still talk to today, including my long time bestie who I still chat with regularly.

First time I saw them, I dragged a bunch of friends from school along to the Puyallup fair in 9th grade (I think I was 14?). That was the first time I saw their logo on a shirt and thought, "Oh I understand why people get tattoos now." Swipe to the second to last pic for the signed artwork I got as a tattoo when I was 19! The last pic is the tattoo!

The last time I saw Hoobastank in Seattle was 2008. It was a skateboarding event at the Key Arena. I was screaming my heart out from the above the showcase area. Someone with a pass waved me down so they could 'have a real fan to sing to' during their set. I geeked out and asked another person to take a pic for me bc I couldn't believe I got to be front row for it. The security guard was not impressed, but Hoobastank posted the picture a few years later to their socials. 😂 I also got my first Hoobastank guitar pick from that show.

In 2009, I messaged on a whim about making the trip to Portland to see them again. He was so sweet, he put me on the guest list. I ran into Dan first as my friends and I headed to the venue. He looked at me and asked my age: I was 19, and it was a 21 and over show. Once we got to the venue, Dan told Doug about it, and they did not let that stop me from having an amazing time. Doug made sure to get me a chair so I was technically outside the venue's propped open tent flap, so I could still watch the show. It's one of my favorite concert stories to this day. I had them all sign the art that I was getting tattooed on my back a month or so after the show (it was my first!). We ran out of time with the group shot bc they needed to make it to their next event, but I'm forever grateful for that day.

They're finally coming back to Seattle this summer and I can't wait! You know this girl won't let her wheelchair stop her from having a good time with one of her favorite bands. 🥰♾️

I never know what to expect of lippie products, especially scented ones. With my allergies and asthma, half the time products don't work for me. I'm happy to say that was not the case with these four lovely flavored products! I was so happy they smelled and tasted as advertised. No funky flavors that don't taste like they were described! Plus, these glide onto your lips with ease! Super smooth, and hydrating. They also lasted through some meals and drinks which was also impressive. My favorites were definitely the strawberry and citrus options, since I love most things fruity. But the mint and coconut were still good. Not a single bad flavor in the bunch which was surprising in a good way. Definitely recommend if you're looking to restock your lip balms! Easy for on the go application too.

First official photoshoot for Pillo (pee-yo, our little rascal). It's a lil late bc of his ear infection, so his hair was pretty greasy from the ointment. We gave him a bath today, and immediately did the photoshoot. But I wanted to commemorate getting him around Christmas. We also practiced the sit command with Pillo this last week. They're both so stinking cute! Pillo's blond roots are coming in on his head. So he'll likely be more blond than Osito in a few months. Happy holidays from my family to yours! Even if it's a little late. 😅 May 2026 treat us all well. ❤️🫂
