A NEW LOOK

I wanted to formally introduce this new space. If you have followed my blog or art journey you may have noticed that things have been quiet for a bit. There is a reason for all the silence, it's not because I dislike you. It's really the opposite.

These past few morning have been all the things you dream about when fall rolls around. Chilly mornings, fog in the air, and you're left with thoughts of warm soup and crunchy bread to warm your belly. Well at least you can imagine that's what I'm dreaming about everyday.

BRAIDED MESSY BUN

If I were to be completely honest I would have to tell you all that I am super lazy when it comes to my "beauty" routine.
