New year new nails! I think I made this exact post last year with different nails. Either this is a new tradition for me or exactly one year is about how long it takes me to forget how annoying these are to take off…
Showing off my press on nails. They’re short round cut and the color is silvery and iridescent.

Ohrolopē Mocvse - New Year's

This has been the craziest year of my whole life. But I've made my biggest major life accomplishments this year. Growing my business, moving out, lots of change and adjustment. The struggle is not over yet, but I survived this insane year so cheers to that 🥂 🎉

If you live in Minnesota, vote for Peggy Flanagan for Senate. If elected, she’ll be the first Native American woman to ever serve in the U.S. Senate.

Nothing could stop me from showing up today — not my skin flare ups, or anxiety, or the congestion of the public transit system today. Knew I needed to make it and use my voice to fight against ICE and Donald Trump with the rest of Chicago. It was an amazing turnout, estimated over 100,000 people.
