When I tell you guys I am in awe right now, I AM IN AWE😍. I remember in second period Chemistry, We would talk about life and your art and you would show me your doodles. And I’m still wishing I had your talent. Things like this make me keep doing what I’m doing, art is about inspiring more art. Keeping the collective creative flow going 🌀 Thank you so much for making me into beautiful art❤️ @buildingconstellations

“in the shadows is where i like to be,
not to plot, not to scheme
just moving through midnight quietly
like the moonlight slipping through the trees”

These photos were about capturing the internal war of being an artist for me. Wanting my art to be seen and all the fights that come with it like perception, questioning if it’s going to make sense for anyone, losing inspiration but finding it over and over again which in itself is so beautiful! I’ll leave the rest to the eye of the beholder. Art is everywhere. Art is everything. I will be an artist in every lifetime!

Here is my skincare routine at the moment🌟 (i love to switch things up from time to time) The products i used and some tips/tricks that work for me:
• Youth to People: Kale + Green Tea Spinach Vitamins Superfood Cleanser - this is great for all skin but especially sensitive skin folk!
• Rubber Face Scrubber- i love how hard i can scrub without damaging my skin😌
• Dr. G Brightening Peeling Gel- i loveeeee exfoliating gels, so gentle on the skin and really gets on the dead skin off. If its not crumbling on your face like that, ITS NOT WORKING
• OLIVIAUMMA: Glass Skin Tanghulu Shine Muscat Cleanser- shoutout to korean skincare! A little goes a long way with this cleanser, making the product last a long time! Really makes your skin soft too
• OGEE Luminous Botanical Face Mist- i love using this after i cleanse my face to boost hydration and gives a fresh face feeling. You can also use it after your skincare routine!
• JĀSÖN Tea Tree Oil- tea tree oil is liquid gold to me! It’s a natural antibacterial. If you suffer from acne or eczema, i highly recommend!🌿
•Avocado Oil- healing and moisturizing for your skin!
• Bio 7 Skin Oil- i picked this up at the beauty supply and i love it! Ive noticed it actually does help fine lines and making my skin vibrant!✨
• OGEE Skin Enhancing Primer SPF 40- this has been another holy grail for me! It really helped make my face even and helps keep the moisture in my skin.
• Nivea Creme- call me an old lady but i stay true to my nivea creme! You dont need too much and i love using this before i do my lymphatic facial massage because your fingers just glide on your face
•Lymphatic Contour Face Brush- this has been a game changer! Helps SNATCH your face and helps your skin absorb all the product into your face
• ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Neck & Décolleté Balm- i just started using this recently and love it! I think a big step in skincare that we forget is our neck and chest area
• BIG TIP: i ALWAYS rinse with hot water in between my cleansers and i always end with COLD water. It really makes a difference and i feel the cleanser actually penetrate with hot water. And the cold water really helps finish things off🌟
