because I am not an actual celebrity, just yours… Engagement Day Details: Dress: Farm Rio Ring: fiancé did it all by himself but he told me it’s Mociun <3 Nails: Lily & Fox Shoes: old crusty Tommy Hilfiger canvas slips-ons / just snagged $15 all-white pumas at costco (run don’t walk to your local; not…
Because an actual person or bot named Tom Ford has compiled a completely wrong article on my net worth and occupation? Very pleased. I love Nali so much. This week, she pooped a runny volume of poop so massive on a rug that I had to throw it away in an abandoned dumpster. But I…

I want to leave some research here: Death rates remain consistent year over year … where did the seasonal flu go? Side effects of the vaccines…

Brazil’s enforcement/social experience of masking up is pretty similar to Texas’, so it feels pretty natural here. Meanwhile, love…
Beach AND Mountains?! How have I not been here before? I could not be more grateful to be in Brazil right now with my brother and Teti, and I’ll share Rio pics next week, as this week there’s some reflecting to look back over and be grateful for… Piracanjuba Brazilian whey protein drink—I am not…
