This just popped up in my memories today, and it’s as true now as it was two years ago when I first posted it — maybe even more true, because there’s more time, more growth, and more peace under my belt.

My story’s had a lot of broken pieces, bad choices, and hard lessons. For years, I tried to numb the pain — what I thought was saving me was really breaking me even more.

But grace found me. Sobriety found me. And little by little, I found myself.

Today, my world is simple — my cats, my grandchildren, my Farmasi business, my quiet routines. It’s not flashy or exciting, but it’s peaceful. And for the first time in my life, that’s enough.

To the women who lift me up, check in, and remind me I matter — thank you. You are my tribe, and I’ll always show up for you the way you’ve shown up for me. 💛

I’m just being honest…🫶
I’ve summarized it above, but here’s a deeper look. I needed peace. On TikTok, I grew my following to over 6k. I started by posting recipes, which helped me gain 3k followers, then switched to ASMR because I loved watching it. Going live brought me another 3k followers, but eventually, I burned out

My first Halloween make-up look of 2025! I’m hoping I have time to do more! I absolutely love getting creative and when I don’t get time then I feel really stuck. I’ve wanted to do an Avatar make-up look for YEARS! I don’t really know why I haven’t but I finally found some time and got down to it.
