Last week I finally got to do a photoshoot at the downtown Seattle nightclub that I always go to, Trinity! I go there every single Friday with my best friend Kwame pretty much, it’s a really awesome dance club that I love. We’ve been going there every week since the beginning of February which is totally awesome. This time, we ended up going on a Thursday to Trinity for a concert for the EDM artists Jantsen & Dirt Monkey, which is totally awesome to me because I really love Jantsen. I thought that was cool and perfect, we already go to like one or two concerts a month anyway and then Trinity all the rest of the time but we got to see this concert at my favorite nightclub! So that was pretty cool, this also ended up being the day I happened to want to do a photoshoot finally at the club so that was also cool, getting to finally do a shoot at the club but also at a concert for once in my life. I thought that was awesome, I’ve always been really into concerts my whole life basically. You can also checkout my comprehensive concert list that I keep track of on a page on my blog called Concert Almanac. This Jantsen concert was #88 which is totally awesome, I’m glad I also got to do this shoot here too. I loved doing this photoshoot at my favorite nightclub, it turned out pretty good! I ended up wearing this cool comic/pop art type dress that I got from Wet Seal when I was like 15 or something, I’ve always really loved this dress. I can’t believe it took me so long to do a photoshoot with it! I definitely wear a dress every single time I go to Trinity now though so I’ve been wearing my dresses way more often these days which is awesome that I’m finally going through them. Anyway, half of this photoshoot I did in my room & the other half were pictures Kwame took of me while we were at the club/concert. I love how this turned out, I’m so glad I finally got to do a shoot at my favorite place! Plus, concerts are always so fun to go to anyway of course also! Read more after the featured image to see the rest of it.

Gold is really fun to wear these days, I’m glad it’s been nearly a couple months since I switched out all of my body jewelry into gold colored pieces. I was also excited about doing this outfit photoshoot & everything because I had this cool beige/gold-ish Guess shirt that I’ve been needing to shoot for awhile too. I got it in September & I’m glad I waited until now to shoot it because I got to shoot it with all the gold jewelry I have in with it! This shoot turned out pretty good, too, I love the color of my hair & lipstick with the outfit and everything. I also got a new choker that I love, which is a gold one, that I’m excited about for sure. It’s from Bella Thorne’s jewelry collection, from the brand that I think is called Thorne Dynasty. I love it so much, I’ve really been needing a gold choker these days for so long! Plus I even also got a new eyeshadow palette from Kylie Cosmetics which is the 24k gold palette which I thought would be perfect for me, that I’m excited about. So far I love all three of those things, they all looked pretty good on me for this shoot! My life is going pretty good these days too, which I’m happy about. Everything’s kind of fallen into place & is doing pretty well with me in every aspect, which I’m really appreciative about. I love it when things find their way to work themselves out and everything starts to make more sense & all that I can be really grateful for. I also think I’m headed in the right direction with everything, I have a lot of the right ideas for sure! But I’m happy about how my life is going and things are always getting better all the time. In the past few weeks I’ve been staying up late intentionally getting things done and doing things like reading and stuff, which was a good idea. I loved that I had so much time to do things every night, it was awesome! I just felt really motivated and wanted to do that all the time so that’s what I’ve been doing. I might continue doing that if I can somehow get myself to wake up earlier in the day, but who knows about that! I just love that I’ve been doing so many things for myself and accomplishing so many things lately, also going to concerts & the club like I do every week and I love having things like that in my life that make me happy. So I’m going to keep staying busy all the time & everything, I love how that’s been going for me! There’s always something to look forward to & I always have something to do these days which I really love about my life/self. I’m also excited about my life & there’s always something positive I can focus on these days! Let’s get into the blog post, I call it All That Glitters because I love gold especially!

Welcome to my blog and/or blog post, all! It’s finally Easter today and I finally am getting around to doing a post for Easter. I haven’t ever, yet, posted an Easter post on my blog so I’m glad I finally am getting to today! This photoshoot & blog post includes this pretty white striped midi dress of mine that I thought would be perfect for Easter, as well as my gold & black Gucci glasses and finally my purple Viva Glam Nicki 2 lipstick & lipglass (my favorite lipstick of all time). I’m finally getting those up in (a/another) blog post too! Finally, I also did this shoot with Kwame, around Pike’s Place Market in Seattle. We thought it would be cool to do another photoshoot in Seattle, so we went and did that around midnight last night. So this post was actually done on Easter Sunday which is cool! I think it turned out pretty awesome. I love going to Seattle with Kwame, we always go the club every week or a concert or whatever and we do a lot of fun stuff, I love it. I’m so glad he and I have been friends for so long! I love getting to hangout with him every week. Anyway, everything is going super awesome for me and I love how things have been going in my life, there’s so many good things that I can focus on or look forward to or whatever which is awesome. I’m so appreciative of so many things in life. I make awesome progress with everything, too, which I talk about sometimes. Let’s get into the post!

This year is going really well so far, I’m really excited about everything that is happening in my life. I’m glad the first two months of this new year have been going so well, I’m really grateful for that! It’s finally the year that I’m 24 and I have some really cool things planned/coming up for the rest of the year, so we’ll see how everything goes. Today’s post is going to be really awesome, I have a pretty cool photoshoot to show you. This shoot could have a few different names, and it means something to me. First off, it’s Convenience Fee (Part Two) basically, because it relates as much to the first one I did, of course called Convenience Fee. That was the post I did the month I first ever started off my major concept playlist of the same name, and got that rolling. That’s significant to me because that’s my favorite playlist I’ve ever done of all time. I did that photoshoot & post the month before I turned 23, as well, and everything has been pretty awesome since then. A lot of why this is a spinoff of that photoshoot is because of the Part Two-like outfit similarities: the original post included a bulky silver 5-lock chain necklace that I love with all my heart, as well as a slightly oversized plain black t-shirt, compared to this sparkly pink lock necklace & long black graphic tee. That’s pretty awesome for the two looks, I love them both and I love how they go together. I was also wearing hot pink (lips) for both, including a really pretty hot pink lipstick in the last post and then a hot pink Super 8 Lip Oil by Yensa called Pink Shine for this look, which looked really good with my hot pink eyeshadow (from the Kesha Rose Beauty FTW eyeshadow palette that I got pictures of/with!) that I totally loved with the pink necklace. Hot pink & black looked really good in these two photoshoots. Definitely check out the original post if you haven’t seen that one yet, I linked it earlier in the paragraph! Anyway, I had to name this shoot As Crazy As It Is, to keep furthering my concept category/playlist photoshoot series also called Convenience Fee. There’s currently 232 songs on the playlist and it’s still such an awesome playlist, and I just loved As Crazy As It Is by Zhu as one of them. So that’s definitely a couple things about/that I could refer to this photoshoot as, I love how that turned out. Finally, one more of the things I thought of is that this could just simply be like the t-shirt, ‘The Mix’ – but it’s not. Lol, that’s what the shirt says, I totally love this shirt. It’s from a bar in Tacoma, but I’m pretty sure we found it at Goodwill and then my stepmom gave it to me. That’s all about this post so far though, I of course just named it after the song but wanted to hit upon all of the cool key points that otherwise went with this blog shoot. Let’s get into this otherwise named Convenience Fee Pt. 2 photoshoot blog post next!

Here’s my second post of being 24 finally! I’m finally getting around to my second post of November this year, as I always do two posts every month. This is the also the second blog post I’ve done so far of being 24, and I love how the photoshoot turned out. I have my faded red hair for this blog post and I’m getting better at my lighting for setting my tripod on my bed. It’s a pretty good angle and I wanted to take more pictures around my room of course! So I’m finding ways to make those different and everything. There’s a bunch that I love about this photoshoot this time, too. I included my long silver circle pendant necklace with this outfit just like I included it for my last post, called Killstar, that you can check out with that link. I love picking certain necklaces and then wearing them with multiple outfits all the time, it’s fun and signature and I love it. Also included is two of my other favorite necklaces that I have, one being this dangly heart & heart key silver necklace with a charm from my old Christina Aguilera Royal Desire perfume that I had a while ago! I still of course kept the charm because it’s really pretty, it’s a fan and has a lobster clasp on it that I use to put it on this necklace. The third necklace I was wearing is my new FAVORITE choker that I got from my stepmom this month, which is a sideways sparkly cross on a pink collar type choker! This is one of my fave jewelry finds in a long time, I’m so glad she found this for me. I got some pretty good pictures of it, too. The other favorite thing I was wearing for this photoshoot was my new Kesha Rose Beauty eyeshadow palette as well as color-changing lipgloss! Looks like Kesha just took her collection down off of Hipdot and it’s not available anymore, so I hurried and got a palette (from Amazon) right after she took down her collection! I couldn’t miss out on that one for some reason, since I’ve missed out on a celeb beauty brand before (Thorne by Bella – I have nothing from it! Where can I find it online?). Anyway, that was all awesome and the outfit includes this pretty purple crop top I found at Plato’s Closet in June! It’s pretty cute and I thought it worked well for my second post of being 24. That day I was also editing my Expression 2.0 playlist that I started in like 2020, so I named the photoshoot VIBEZ after one of the songs (by DaBaby) on that playlist! It turned out awesome, read more below!

It’s a new month and almost fall, and I’m doing so great! I’m always glad about the progress I make from time to time and how I go about everything as time goes on. I also really love how things turned out for this photoshoot – I decided to wear a short sleeve pink striped dress, which is this really comfy material. I love the way it looks on me, it’s a good material for how it fits me. I decided to also include a pair of really cute pink sunglasses that I got in like 2019 from Dolls Kill, they looked really good on top of my head with this dress as a hint that summer is nearly over. I love sunglasses but I haven’t really ever shot them that much before, just a different blue pair in a photoshoot in this blog post and a couple other photoshoots! I love these ones though, I always try to do shoots for as much as what I can from what I’ve gotten from Dolls Kill over the last 3 years or so. It’s, as you probably know, my favorite online store to shop at and always has been since I started ordering from there. You can check out different photoshoots I’ve done with the things I’ve bought there here, in my Dolls Kill category! I have a bunch of things from there, but only a bit of it left to get into photoshoots. I’ve made a lot of progress shooting as much of it as I could! Also, I’m really excited that this is another Convenience Fee blog post. I keep naming photoshoots after the different songs I have on the playlist, it being my favorite playlist I’ve ever had for almost a year now! This photoshoot is named after the 2015 song by Zeds Dead named You Know, which was the second ever song I put on the playlist last fall. I really love this song a lot, it’s a classic. I found it last fall as well. I might also end up seeing Zeds Dead next month with my friend in Seattle, but we’ll see if it ends up happening! That would definitely be amazing, & I think it would be perfect timing too. Let’s get into the photoshoot.

August is a good month so far, I’m glad I’ve been back hanging out with friends and things like that after all that happened last month. I’m doing pretty good, I feel like things keep getting better! I was excited to get up and do a photoshoot for this outfit this weekend, I ended up doing it with this cute white star shirt that my mom got me earlier this summer from California which she went to. I think it’s super cute and fits me well, I love stars on everything and the rhinestones they used for this shirt sure are cute. White also sometimes looks pretty good on me so I love that. Anyway, I’ve been doing a lot of the same stuff as I usually do, but my mood is getting kind of better as I go because things have changed. I’m focusing more on myself and have been able to do better things for myself, and I kind of represent that sometimes too with the things around me. I can’t believe that most of the summer is almost over, I love the weather as usual and everything but I also can’t wait to see what comes next as I continue throughout my life. This photoshoot is a pretty good one as well, let’s get into this one!

I’m so excited about how this photoshoot turned out, I finally put together something good like this with my extensions in and everything. I love my red hair with all my heart, it’s been red since 2018 and I’m still not done with it! Especially since I have these red extensions I want to utilize more and more as I go. I am totally good with my hair fading to blonde sometimes, but I do love getting to re-vamp and re-dye my hair back to red sometimes. This time, I ended up using Lime Crime’s red hair dye in the color Valentine. I have dyed my hair with this one before, too, like in my other blog post Solved the Problem which is from August 2019. The color ended up matching my extensions, too, but I didn’t use them as much back then. I love my red extensions, they are TestaRossa ones from Bellami in 22″ that I got that same year, bright red. I use all of them when I use them, and it turns out super rockstar I love it. The last time I ended up using my extensions in a photoshoot was this year, in January, in my photoshoot I called Stoke the Fire. I loved that outfit and everything a lot, and I love when I get to do merch, but it was even more fun putting this ‘Hackney’ outfit together and getting it to work really well in this shoot! I love getting to do more on the glam side types of photoshoots and outfits, that’s always super cool with my ‘urban glam’ style overall. I also ended up doing a slightly longer photoshoot than usual with this one, and ended up getting like 54 pictures! So that’s pretty cool this time, let’s get into the blog post! Read more to see more of the photoshoot and all as well.

I’m so proud of how far I’ve gotten with everything I have this year, always keeping up with everything I want to be doing. So far I’m a little busier than I was expecting myself to be, making sure I keep pushing forward and keeping track of everything I have as I go. It’s still a lot of the same stuff as I normally have been doing with my life, but I still love so much that I have to show for recently, like my photoshoots with how I’ve been going with them. I’m definitely keeping up with a couple posts this month all month, and I still have so many ideas of what to do with what’s next and upcoming for future posts and outfits. This outfit is all black and white but mostly black, and it consists of a few key outfit pieces I had that I wanted to get into a photoshoot, and I ended up putting all of them together! I love when I have multiple pieces of clothing written down and can get like 2+ of them in an outfit successfully to get more done at once. I’m sure that eventually I’ll get outside and go do more to shoot somewhere new or do something else that’s cool with my life, but I still love all the things I do with my time and I’m always moving forward with all of it, or at least something. Meetings are still an awesome place to go to show off an outfit, at least a couple times a week, but that’s still the main thing I leave the house to do! Other than that I get to get out with my boyfriend once or twice a week, and eventually him and I will get to do more together too but it’s one thing at a time sometimes these days. I’m still totally grateful for everything I have though, and I love what I’ve been doing. This has been a good season so far, I can’t believe it’s already about to be May. Things should be so cool coming up to the summertime and up until then, we’ll see which outfits I end up putting together! Also, I really love that I ended up naming this shoot and blog post after a song, it was a good idea for one. It’s called All I Do, (which I’ll mention more about later) and all I do is blog and do my meetings + work on things around my room. I talk about that enough for sure, but yeah it is pretty perfect for me right now! I can’t wait to see what’s next, I’m really doing good with everything as I go.

My life has always been some combination of change and consistencies, the things that kept me balanced or taught me some skill to stay on track. Recently a lot of things have piled up, but at first I really thought it would be something I couldn’t handle or shouldn’t have to deal with. I’m stuck doing these meetings all the time, two different kinds, and I wasn’t expecting to be busy 5 days of the week every day for a while but that’s what it looks like. Something my dad was talking to me about recently was how life throws so many things at you that are unexpected but obviously this teaches you resilience and him and I both agree that we’re good at those kinds of throws from life, just knowing the ground we stand on and how stable we are through the most of it. We also talked a lot about regret this past month and it really said something to me, the way these things would pile on top of me. I’d like, go through all of it and wonder how to sit there and look back at it without it pulling my hair, really. Those two things are something I’m talking about here, but I’ve really relieved a lot of pressure in my life and in my mind by having these conversations with him. Now I love going to these meetings, with every piece of my heart, and I’m back to wearing my heels all the time and putting on my lipsticks. My outfits rock these days and this is my 4th week in a row that I’ve had something to do and somewhere to go every single day of the week. I really absolutely love where I’m at, where I’ve finally gotten into in life, and I’m just having so much fun and actually getting things out of these meetings! I love that I get out and do these things, and even if I haven’t blogged as much recently I still post every fucking month, so I’m not slacking too hard even though I’m way busier now. I feel like I really can create this direction in my life with these toolkits I have gotten from all these meetings, and I have this persistence now that I want to keep up with as I go. I’ve made a bunch of good decisions in the midst of the stupid mistakes that I’ve been throwing in there to tag the regret, but I really see what I chose in life and what good it brings me to be here at this point in time. I believe I’m the person I am because I could be, and because I want to be, every single day of my life and that helps a lot when I’m building myself. I spend a lot of time working on myself these days and I really have everything I need finally, and I’m really proud of this photoshoot! I called it Death Row after the Bebe Rexha song, because I have finally hit a point in my life this week where I really understood and just got it, what I’m doing here. Something clicked in my brain shortly after doing this shoot and I am definitely excited about my future. I see what making changes in your life does, and I feel this positive energy that I keep loving and wanting to express, so I will creatively finally. I really see why I got to this point in my life.
