Red Hair with Country Flare

Hi All! I hope everyone's been well! It's almost spring break! One more school day for me (Thursday). Then, I'm off until the end of the first week of next month. :) I have a few things I intend to do while on break, one thing being WonderCon. Otherwise, my family is coming to visit for a few days, so who knows where that will take me to. I've already started spring cleaning too. It feels nice to remove some clutter from my life both literally and figuratively. This blog is like a combination of a place review and a life update.

 Last Friday, I went horse riding for the first time with my Equestrian team as a beginner and had a fun time. I am slightly afraid of heights, but felt at ease on Freckles, the horse I was on. I also learned horse care and maintenance and it was nice. It actually reminded me of home being in a barn with various farm animals. The smell doesn't bother me at all like it does various people, but I think that's a product of growing up in the Central Valley.  The barn we went to is called BM Equine in Norco which gives English/Hunt riding lessons, Mercedes is our coach/trainer and she is very nice. I hope to find a Western riding school as well.

Also, last Wednesday, I went and got my hair colored at Tashi's Hair Salon in Diamond Bar, not too far from Brea Canyon. I got a dark reddish color to fix the bad hair color job that JCPenney in Brea had done. It turned out really well and the stylists were very positive and friendly, telling me about each process every step of the way. I recommend this place for people with natural hair styles. They also do other things like two strand twists, braids, and weaves. They can also help people with hair or scalp ailments. So check them out. Side note, they are pretty pricy, but I feel like for the area, it's almost expected.

Here's some pictures :)

Shine on! 🌞

Anyway, that's all for today's blog. My next blog with be a product review rather than a place review for various natural hair products.  I'm trying to get back into the habit of writing more, but writer's block loves to strike when I least expect it. What type of hobbies are you guys into? Have you ever ridden a horse? Or have you ever colored your hair a wild color? Let me know in the comments below!

Till Next Time!

Poisonous Kisses to my little Ivy leaves

Hi all! So sorry for the delayed post. I've been waiting for my cosplay photos to show up before I posted a new blog post. I hope everyone has been well and had a happy February, especially that one extra day. Any Leap Year proposals out there? ;) My February went decently, but these last two months have gone by so fast that it's basically all a blur. I kind of wonder if the rest of the year will be that way. School has been slightly busy with group assignments, and we all know how annoying those can be. All you really need is a good partner. :) Well, let me stop rambling on and post some cosplay photos! These photos were done at Fairmount Park in Riverside, CA on Superbowl Sunday during a cosplay photoshoot day where cosplayers, models, and photographers collaborated with each other. At this photoshoot, I only cosplayed as Poison Ivy from Batman and these photos come from a photographer called James Ortiz and I'll post his info now. He can be found on IG under the name: fkimagery , and on Facebook as Photographer James Ortiz . He's a great photographer and really nice guy, and I recommend him if you're in the Inland Empire area. :) Here's some of the photos from this shoot:

My next major cosplay will be Tira's feathery costume from Soul Caliber V, along with minor projects. So look out for that in the upcoming months. :) Does anyone have any cosplay they are working on?  Let me know in the comments below.

Till Next Time!
