Nothing yet, still reading The Defectors by Paola Ramos. Next I wanna read something fiction for #LatineHeritageMonth. Any suggestions?

13 years ago today, we brought baby Jess home for the first time. She's still in great health for her age (knock on wood), but truth be told, I don't know how many more #GotchaDays I'll get to have with her. I'm so grateful for each one, and am showering her with all the love whenever I can. #dogsky

This #LatineHeritageMonth I just want to say:
🏵 F🧊& the latest SCOTUS ruling
🏵 Support #LatineAuthors, small businesses, & friends
🏵 If you live in CA, NV, AZ, TX, NM, CO, UT, or WY, remember that indigenous people and Mexicans were here first! #LatinxHeritageMonth #HispanicHeritageMonth #booksky

No filter, just incredible #greyscalemakeup by Yami at #Kryolan. I never want to take it off, so I guess I'm off to scare the people at the grocery store looking like the ghost of Sally Bowles #specialeffectsmakeup #makeup #Halloweenmakeup #sanfrancisco #modeling #makeupsky #model #makeupartist

Sometimes you hike up 5000 vertical feet at elevation to watch a volcano erupt only to get there when she's feeling shy 🥺 #VolcanDeFuego #Acatenango
