I used to NEVER bleach my hair (I had an amazing hair dresser who just refused to double process me), until I went Rainbow during my first trip to South Africa in 2019. Since then, I have not gone back to 'normal' colored hair. I've tried rainbow, mermaid (blue/purple/pink), starburst (red/pink/orange/yellow), arial red, bubblegum (mostly blue/pops of pink and purple), and am currently (June 2022) all blue.

I have two dogs that I miss terribly when I travel. I actually used to be so afraid of dogs (my mom was a UPS driver and had gotten bit and I think that just left an impression on me), until I got my first dog (Missy, a chihuaua shitzu, who I thought was a yorkie shitzu for 14 years until I had her genetics tested for funsies). Anyway Missy opened up a whole new world for me, and dogs are just literally my favorite now. My newest dog (my boy, Boomer) is the sweetest husky you'll ever meet. They are safe and well taken care of while I'm away, but I can't say I don't feel guilty. I can't wait to snuggle with them again.

I have been through some crazy things in life. I am so thankful for even the hardest things as they forced me to develop into the exact person I am right now. And I also know, that even in the worst times, things could always have been even worse. BUT - I've battled a rare tumor for 5 years and won (it was cancer-ish, it's complicated and another story for another day), I was raised by a single teenage mother (absent drug addict father), and I have struggled with promiscuity and substance abuse (I have a total addictive personality, but it seems I've finally figured out how to channel it into better things in life).
