Things have been going super well lately and I’ve been pretty glad about my life. I’m excited about this new post I’m putting together today, too, it’s called Yayo! It’s inspired by the song by Lana Del Rey, of which my gold necklace is from in the photoshoot. That’s my featured merchandise item of the blog post, that I got in like 2015 when she was on tour. I love this necklace, it’s so perfect, it’s a gold rosary heart with snakes on it. I love Lana Del Rey! She recently dropped a new album but I named it after the old song because it matched the necklace that I wore, which I’ll write more about here. The photoshoot has like 3 different parts to it, too, the first part at my mom’s, the second part in downtown Seattle with Kwame & a couple of his friends, and the third part at a KeyBank in a city nearby. I’m so glad Kwame and I finally did another photoshoot together! He’s my best friend these days and we hangout a lot, and we have been hanging out a bunch since August pretty much. It’s awesome, we go to the club most the time but I might do another post about that some other day, and yesterday we finally decided to do this photoshoot. The first shoot him and I ever did together was back in 2019 called Live Fast, which was pretty awesome. This one turned out pretty great also though, too, he even got some shots for his next music video while I was shooting too which should turn out pretty great! He’s made a music video or two of us before, I’ll mention one of those later in the post. We’ve also made music together before too which is pretty rad. I’m so glad we’re friends & finally did this photoshoot together! I’m also so glad about how this year is going so far of course too.

So the beginning to this year has been pretty awesome so far, and I’ve really loved the way everything has been going. I was surprised that everything is coming together as well as it has been, I’ve been actually pretty busy these days and everything too! That’s a cool improvement in the last couple months at least especially, I love being busy. I love getting out of the house, getting things done and doing things that make me happy all the time. I even have been really liking my blog lately, I’m totally proud of how I’ve been doing with these posts too & that I’m always keeping up with it & everything. Today’s photoshoot & blog post is featuring the first Billie Eilish shirt I ever got, a bright orange t-shirt that says ‘Too Young To Go To Jail‘ from like 2018 or so. I love this shirt, it’s a cute one, and I’m glad I finally got around to doing the photoshoot for it! I’m always trying to shoot my merch, I get around to it definitely often enough and I love to do it. It’s all on my collective merchandise blog as well, Celebrity Merch Base, so that’s pretty cool. Definitely also check out “Scary World!” from 2020 on this blog, too, the first Billie post I ever ended up doing on here. Anyway, my goal is to shoot as much of my collection (of merchandise) as I can really, I’ve been doing photoshoots like that for all of it since near beginning of my blog basically. I love merch tees & outfits so much and it’s always fun to go through them like this. The whole outfit came together really well too, with a few different things. First of all, on Sunday I changed all the jewelry in my face from silver to gold, which I thought was perfect with the orange shirt! That’s something I’m excited about, this is the first shoot I’m doing with the color change, & it’s all new jewelry. That’s something I’ve always wanted to get around to doing, and I love how it’s going so far. Second, I also got two new gold Gucci belts for Christmas so I was finally able to include another one of those in a photoshoot this time since I finally put in all the gold jewelry in! That I’m pretty excited about too. Third, I really wanted to keep doing shoots for my old Dolls Kill orders to do something cool with one of those eventually, so I finally got pictures with these cute gold flame stud earrings that I got so long ago too. And finally, from Billie Eilish’s 2021 album, Happier Than Ever, she had a song called GOLDWING on there and I thought that would be perfect with the photoshoot! I love how that worked out, that’s a cool name and song, which is also a song on my favorite concept playlist of all time Convenience Fee. That’s pretty cool since I have a category on here as well called Convenience Fee that I update all the time with a bunch of posts inspired by the songs & playlist! I love this shoot & how everything turned out, 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!

Hey guys, it’s finally time for this outfit I put together from one of my other birthday presents from last month. It’s totally my new gold Gucci belt that I got from my mom for my 24th birthday! I put together this cool gold outfit with it to finally do my post for it before the year is over. I included my signed Felly shirt that I got from meeting him at his concert in Seattle in February, which was so awesome! I only got two shirts from concerts this year since I have so many, but I’m glad I was finally able to get this one into this photoshoot before the year was over! This shirt is signed in (my) black Sharpie on the back of the shirt (in this white circle on the back). I also wore my big gold boots and these leather pants that I have from Nasty Gal from way back in the day, and some other merch hat as well. I loved this look, it was a pretty good one! I wear gold sometimes and it rocks, and I love how I put this look together, I think it’s perfect with all that there is there together. The makeup look was a pretty good one, too, I love how that’s turning out. I named this photoshoot after a song Felly did on his recent album, Young Fel 2, called ‘Pot of Gold’ which is on one of my playlists I haven’t mentioned much before, that I started mid last year, called Untitled. It’s a pretty good song! I of course named the blog post Gucci Gold though, which references to a Gucci post I did in 2016 that I’ll mention more later. I also wore my Gucci Guilty Eau perfume with the outfit as well as a Gucci lipstick from back in the day with this look. I love all that I have from the brand! I included 3 Gucci items total I think for this look. Definitely go ahead and read more of this under the picture. Thanks for checking me out!

I’m excited about how today went! It’s the 15th of November today which was my 24th birthday, and I’m happy I made it to this part of the year again finally. One of the things I got for my birthday this year was from my dad, and it was this yellow plaid dress I was wearing below for my photoshoot. It’s from Avril Lavigne’s second drop & collection with the brand Killstar and it’s super rad. I really love it, it comes with a black mesh shirt that goes under it! I wore it with my red hair redyed and my extensions + red lipstick that I got recently from Kesha’s beauty line, Kesha Rose Beauty – it’s called the Raising Hell lipstick! I love this one too. Overall I love how the day went and I got a couple more presents from my family! I’ll eventually blog about the other fashion item I got from my mom and then that was pretty much it. I think my look turned out pretty rad and I’m excited to finally be 24. It’ll be a pretty good year for me I’m sure, and I can’t wait to see how it goes in 2023. For now, let’s get into my birthday post! I mainly spent this one with my family, but I appreciate where I’m at in life.

Happy Halloween 2022!

It’s finally time for me to do a good Halloween post! I do holiday posts sometimes throughout the years but a Halloween themed photoshoot or blog post I haven’t really done as much as I could’ve until today. The only other Halloween related blog post I’ve done until now is one I called Scorpio Season back in 2017, with a Halloween themed outfit and a Scorpio themed outfit. That one was pretty great, I think it turned out pretty good! This one is pretty much just a cute themed photoshoot with a Seether t-shirt I got for Halloween in 2015 called Mind Control, and it’s a totally awesome t-shirt! I just basically wore that and my chain leggings that I always love, and it was a pretty good outfit. One day I’ll find some sort of costume to do for a that kind of photoshoot, but I rarely ever dress up for Halloween! So I guess it was just cool to shoot down this photoshoot for both blogs of mine, including Celebrity Merch Base where I post things that I collect. I like how this turned out, I did some pictures for both the full-length shirt and the shirt tied up in the back to make it a crop top! I wanted to make sure I got the entire shirt in the picture but also it looked really cute tied up. I also love the picture I used for my featured photo below, I think the eye look looked pretty good with the name of the t-shirt (Mind Control) that matched the look pretty well! Anyway, I love this Seether t-shirt, because I can definitely wear it other times of the year but it definitely was a Halloween t-shirt that they put out so it’s perfect to finally do a photoshoot for for this Halloween. I can’t believe how long I’ve had all my Seether merchandise! I always love it. Let’s get more into the photoshoot now.

So I’ve been pretty glad about how most things have been going these days, I think I really see things better nowadays than before. It’s July already, and that’s so crazy! This month is my one-year sober month from alcohol & whatever else, at the least. I’m pretty proud about that, as I’ve mentioned a bunch of times before I’m in an outpatient program and I go to meetings all the time. I pretty much just had to do this for court, but I ended up totally loving it and seeing some actual progress from myself from all of it, and I’m pretty thankful. I do better with a lot of aspects in my life these days, and I feel sooo much less lost than I used to last year before I went into this. It didn’t seem like that big of a deal for me, but it might as well have been a big change for me and everything. I’m excited I finally got around to this outfit I shot this week too, I bought this bralette in 2019 for a photoshoot and got around to it this week finally! That’s pretty cool, I accomplish a lot with my consistencies of blogging and all that these days. I mark so many outfit pieces and ideas off my big long whiteboard list and I do it in great timing and everything. Outfits like this are fun sometimes too, I have some other cool things coming up too. I am proud of everything though, I see why I love everything going on so much. It’s been a long year and sometimes I wear really cute outfits to meetings and stuff and it’s awesome to have something to do every week and to get to be so consistent with my makeup and everything, treating it all like an opportunity to do all that for myself. I really love getting to do that, I always keep up on doing my makeup now because it is sometimes my favorite thing to do! I use all my products, too, and I’m getting better at cycling through them. I see progress in everything with me, I think it’s so good I got to this point in life and I’m really doing well for myself. I wonder what’ll happen next, it’s good that it’s July though, but this year went by pretty fast. That’s crazy since I was completely sober, I thought it would take longer but I just flew through the year and did so well in most of my aspects. I’m so excited to keep moving forward and do more with my time, read more!

Not All Those Who Wander

I think I’m always doing really good as I go with every day, making progress with everything I love. I’ve always been really driven and ambitious for who I am, and I love getting to step up and do something with my time or life when I get the chance. Blogging to me is always something I have done for myself since I was like 16, and I made sure to know it as a passion and everything so I could continue putting myself and my energy into it. I used to want to get up and take pictures of myself all the time, and I always had this love for style and makeup, so I ended up doing a bunch of really cool things of myself since I started as the years went on. I love that I still do this for myself, and I know I’ll get better and better sometimes too which is fun to work towards. I totally see progress even in this shoot itself, I think I did really good with the red and white colors together! Also, this was my last photoshoot I did with my faded hair again (which is like blonde) so we’ll see it re-dyed in the next photoshoot, but I loved the contrast I did with the coloring of this outfit to my hair. I think it all turned out great, and I finally got pictures of this Lana Del Rey shirt that I got near the end of May (or early June) last year in 2021. It’s a pretty white t-shirt that says, in red writing, “Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost – LDR” which is from a song from her 2021 album ‘Chemtrails Over the Country Club’ which is pretty awesome. I even also have a Chemtrails iPhone case that I love, but I didn’t include it in the photoshoot! Such a great album though, I love Lana Del Rey with all my heart. She’s one of my overall favorites most of the time which is awesome. This year has been going great so far with my creativity and doing my best to fuel it, it all comes together pretty well and I’m glad about that. I’ve also been pretty busy this month as well, in the last week of mine I went to my 2022 family reunion the day after I did this photoshoot! It was totally cool, we all went camping together and I loved it. Next I had a concert on Thursday (which was Halsey, #74 that you can find on this page!) and then a meeting Friday etc., but I’m finally done with everything and just writing this today. This week should be pretty good too, just more of the usual of like meetings and stuff. I’m totally glad about everything though, I think things are ending up in a good place most of the time and I really love how I keep moving forward all the time. Continuing reading for more next up, collages & more as well!

The springtime is sometimes an awesome time for me with everything in the air smelling amazing finally and me finally feeling like I have another new season, which is cool and different from the summertime. They’re both different significant to me but I really appreciate when it’s finally a new season like this one, especially with everything that’s going on for me these days. This is turning out to be a promising year, and I’m so glad with everything I’ve been into since starting my outpatient treatment (for addiction) since last year in the summer (mid-July), and also everything I’ve been doing since I turned 23 in November. I, in addition to the meetings I’ve been going to and photoshoots I’ve been doing, have also been to a lot of concerts in the last half of a year (or since August) or so which has also been an awesome part of my life that I’ve finally been able to come back to since the last few years or more. I’m really glad at to where I’m at and what places I’ve gotten to mentally, and I think I’m making good progress on myself and my life everywhere possible as I go. Plus, I’ve also done really well since being back with my boyfriend (since last June actually, but we first got together in 2018) so that’s also still happening in my life! I’m pretty proud as to how everything’s turned out. Now in terms of this outfit, this kind of happened spontaneously with this Abbey Dawn brand ‘Rebel’ t-shirt (designed by Avril Lavigne in 2015) that I put together with a flag on it that matched my jeans. You can find the #merchstyle blog post for this shirt in particular on my website CelebrityMerchBase.com right here as well, featuring the same photoshoot!. I will remember to shoot my merchandise more, but this totally counts and I’m glad I put this together for this photoshoot this time. The last time I mentioned this t-shirt, it was around the same time in April but in 2016, and I wore it in some iPhone pictures with my ex-girlfriend for a blog post called Springtime Spunk. After so long I finally actually got the picture in a shoot like this, and I think it turned out awesome. In the past while I’ve also really been loving my makeup, as of lately still, and I’ve been doing really well with it all year too so I just really appreciate that passion of mine too and I’m glad I can always tie it in well to my photoshoots, and I keep good lists of all my makeup I do to my shoots so that’ll be in here later as well. Thanks so much for reading, ‘read more’ to see the rest of it!

I really have always loved music with all my heart, and I love getting to apply that to my life and express that love. Since like 2007 I’ve been going to concerts and all that, and I used to do a lot of YouTube-ing, talking a lot with people about different artists and celebrities, editing pictures and videos of them. That’s something that I always loved doing growing up, and then I was like in my early adult years (and a couple years before that) going to concerts all the time and collecting merchandise and CDs. I really have a lot to show for my love of music, and I love getting to blog about my concert experiences. This post is about my Louis the Child concert experience, which was like my #64th that I’ve been to. So this has been a big part of my life, concertgoing, and even though I went like a year without attending a show recently I’ve finally been catching up and seeing some this year again. I was front row at this show with my boyfriend Matt, we got there right as the doors opened! The venue filled up a lot after we were stationed in the front, and it was a really cool crowd. Matt first introduced me to Louis the Child in like 2018 actually, with Save Me From Myself. Their new album is really good too, they played my favorite track off of it, Fade Away. So I did what I used to do all the time for concerts and did a photoshoot of my #ConcertAttire, and also an outfit/shoot for the merch shirt that I got from the show. This turned out pretty good, I liked it. We even got a few shots in Seattle but not too much because this was a long show! I’m glad about where I’m at, like I probably mentioned a few times in my last blog post, but these concerts this year really helped to both relax me and hype me about my life and I really see what going to all these does for me. I love expression and energy and all that and I get to express a lot of that with going to shows all the time. Read more to see the photoshoots!
