hi! i’m riann

Hi everyone, and welcome to my little corner of Lemon8! If you're here to learn a bit more about the person behind the posts, you've come to the right place. I'm Riann, a 19-year-old adventurer currently calling the beautiful Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, home. While I absolutely love the sunshine state, my roots trace back to Sandy, Oregon, where my love for the great outdoors, especially camping around majestic Mt. Hood, truly blossomed. My professional life is quite a mix of creativity and care! I'm proud to be a licensed aesthetician and a budding tattoo artist, channeling my artistic side into making people feel great and express themselves. And just when you thought that was enough, I’m also diving into studies for dental hygiene. It might sound like a unique combination, but I find so much joy in all these paths – from perfecting skin routines to creating lasting art, and soon, helping with healthy smiles. It’s all about a holistic approach to well-being, which is something I truly believe in. If there's one thing that truly ignites my spirit, it's travel and music. You'll often find me planning my next escape, whether it's revisiting the serene mountains of Oregon or discovering new spots. I'm obsessed with concerts and festivals, especially those that feature indie music. There’s nothing quite like the energy of live music, singing along with friends, and soaking in the atmosphere. I've made so many incredible memories at these events, and I can't wait to share more of those experiences with you. Life is so much sweeter with the right people by your side. I’m incredibly lucky to share my journey with my amazing boyfriend; we’ve been together for over a year and just celebrated a huge milestone: getting our first apartment! It’s been an adventure building our little home together. And of course, our family wouldn't be complete without our two furry best friends, Baxter, our playful black puppy, and Duke, our charming black and white companion. They bring so much joy and chaos into our lives, and you’ll definitely see them pop up in my posts! Beyond my work and travels, I have a bunch of passions that keep me busy. I also have a serious soft spot for shoes – a girl can never have too many, right? My faith is important to me, and I find strength and guidance in my belief in Jesus. When I'm not crafting or studying, I love to bake, rock climb, and simply spend quality time with 'my people' – whether that's my boyfriend, my friends, or my family. There’s always something new to explore, create, or enjoy. So, whether you're interested in beauty tips, travel guides, creative endeavors, pet adventures, or just want to connect with someone who loves life and all its quirks, I hope you’ll stick around. I’m excited to share more of my journey and connect with you all here on Lemon8. Let's be friends!
