Pulling out of Depression

A couple weeks ago I found out that I was depressed. A friend of mine who is a counselor helped me realize that I was dealing with situational depression, and I imagine many people can relate to that. I had no idea that was even a thing, but it makes complete sense. Just upon realizing that’s w...

Situational Depression

Had no idea that was even a thing. ⁣

When I think about it, how could I not? The first time I had depression was when I was 17 and I couldn’t figure out why I felt so... meh. Like life would never be good again, just okay. Alright. Not terrible. Decent. ⁣

But I never thought I�...

All Dressed Up, Nowhere To Go

I got this dress in the fall and was so excited to wear it out to an event or a fancy dinner. Since I had just had my hair done, I decided to shoot it that day even though we weren’t going anywhere.

And that had been the story of our lives the last 4 months... if we get dressed up it’s...

Wild Woman

Well, when I tried to post last night Patreon was down for maintenance, so here’s the first set meow. Or maybe I should say rawr... except first set rawr sounds weird. Meow it is. 😹

Photos shot by JD.

New Photosets late tonight!

I tried saving them from Dropbox, but something is glitchy and they're super pixelated, so I'll get them up tonight once I figure out what's going on. Just going for a hike with a gal pal then I'll be back to upload. 

Xoxo!

LA Livin’

Well, I am back at work doing makeup on the set of Brother Vs Brother in LA. We have 4 days left of filming then I’ll be back in Vegas.

It’s been a wild first 3 days and getting used to all the new COVID protocols has been tiring, but comforting. I’m really happy that our production ...

Looking for a Scene

Looking back at some of my old modeling photos brings back so many memories. Sometimes it's a whole story centered around what happened at that particular photoshoot, sometimes it's what happened leading up to it, and sometimes I remember what I was going through around that time.

Dad ❤️

I remember one night when I was really little, I had a worse than usual asthma attack. My inhaler wasn’t working and I remember barely being able to breathe. I didn’t really understand how scared I should have been back then. You drove me to the ER, staying calm the entire time and making me ...

Sales Tax Changes (and possible tier changes)

Hey friends!

Boy oh boy. This has been a month. I will delve into that in a separate post, but for now, I want to address the changes to sales tax that Patreon legally has to start implementing. 

I know, I know.. fun stuff.

As of July 1, they will be required to charge a sa...

Oldies but GOODIES!

I just came across some old shots from my 2015 Calendar and I feel so inspired to be creative and have fun!

I’ve been in and out of a funk during this last month and I think I’m finally on the up and up. Blog posts coming soon on this topic of quarantine blues. 💙

Happy b(Earth)day ❤️🎂🌍 To My Sister ❤️

Earlier today, we did the Zoom thing to tell Linda happy birthday. And it’s Earth Day, which is just perfect for this lil’ lady who loves Momma Earth.

Meaning in Isolation

Today, I am challenging myself to blog with no plan of attack. Often times when I type out lengthy posts, it’s because something sparked my thought process. So far, today has not brought the sparks, but as someone who would like to write more, I realize I need to overcome that whole ...

Live Chats This Week

Because of my very flexible schedule right now, I am going to try to do 1-2 scheduled chats per week for the time being.

Some of these will have topics and some will be just time for us to chat about what’s going on. If there is a topic for a chat, I will list it as I schedule them. Pleas...

Adjusting Your Relational World

How is everyone doing this week?

I’ve been feeling better this week than last. Last week wasn’t bad, but I had a couple days where I was not my best emotionally. Part of that was due to fluctuations in hormones from that (for me) annoying time of the month, and part of it was (clearly)...

COVID-19 Brain Drain

And how to deal!

I watched this video and holy hell...did it ever make so much sense! Not just for the bits about how our minds are extra anxious right now, but the bit in the beginning where he talked about borderline personality disorder got me feeling so... I don’t even know how to say...

Well I just flew in

Like a bat outta hell dropping that blog post. The app wouldn’t let me schedule it, so there it is. 😂

I’m finally getting this quarantine thing down and feeling better about getting into a flow of things and I have lots of new, helpful stuff for ya.

First things first, I hope ...

Curiosity Did Not Kill The Cat

Or anyone for that matter. It simply made them stronger.

I often look back and think, “How would past versions of myself see me now?”

Would they be happy? Intrigued? Excited? Proud?

Would they see growth and changes that make them happy?

Every ...

I really didn’t expect to be posting this..

A few hours ago, my Grandpa Jim passed away. Most of you know how close I was to him and my grandma. These are my dad’s parents and my heart is breaking over not only him leaving before I could see him one last time, but also for the pain my dad, uncle, aunt, and grandma must feel. I’m so so ...

Holiday Helps

In the midst of things getting wild over the holiday season, it's really easy for us to forget about ourselves. I personally am about the same amount of busy year-round, but my life is much different than most and I remember when the holidays were madness for me. 

This year, I did end ...

Misery Smile

I think I look like I was laughing here, but I was actually in immense pain. 🙈😂

My friend and I went to take photos up on Mount Charleston (near Vegas) because it’s very rare to get this much. JD told me to take gloves, I assured him I had, then I forgot to use them and I fell in th...

Something Fun To Watch

Or listen to.
 
I started listening to Hot Ones A few months ago while I was at home getting ready for cleaning. It has quickly become one of my favorite shows because I don’t have to sit down and watch it to enjoy it. I often listen to podcasts, so I treat the show sort of like that...

NEW NEW for 2020!

Hello my dear loves, 

The time has come for yet more changes. As the year has progressed, I've learned quite a bit about myself and what my priorities need to be. Through wellness and sickness, times of ease and times of stress, I've learned the importance of setting boundaries and mak...

Feelin’ alwhite..

Keeping with the white theme since I’m getting hitched and all this week. 💒

I shot this fun set with my buddy Alan Stephens in Amarillo last month while home visiting family. Figured it’s appropriate to share now.

This last week sure did have me stressed. I had chest pain for ...

Q&A

Later today JD and I will be doing our first Q&A video together for YouTube. I know...I know... I don't know how we went this long either. 

If you have any questions for us, please feel free to ask! As long as it's respectful and from a genuinely good place, we will answer if it's ...

Today was a day.

Wow. What an OMG type day. 

Nothing major really happened. Just a lot of little annoyances and petty people being dramatic over wedding stuff. 

And some personal things that I would totally share, but they involve other people so I don't wanna drag other names in. 

Books for Better Health!

During the live chat, it occured to me that I have yet to share my full list of books that have helped me IMMENSELY. Most are geared toward body health, but when our bodies function better, so do our minds and spirits. :) I've definitely felt the effects of reverting back to unhealthy foods for l...

10 Tips for Dealing with Depression

Here's a quick little reminder for those of you who were in the live chat and some new tips to those of you who weren't. In the chat, we delved into each of these deeper, but I wanted to at least list them here for all of you to think about. :)

*EDIT*

Setting this to public because I ...

Everything Is Alive

Okay. I know this might seem silly to be posting what seems to be a comical podcast, but hear me out. 

I stumbled upon this gem a few months ago and have just fallen in love with it. In this podcast, they interview unlikely subjects like, in episode one, Luis the Can of Cola.
