Bon voyage doinkers!!! Ready for the next month of science and seaweed and seasickness aboard this beauty 😍
In college people would tell me at parties that they recognized me from class because I always sat in the front row and wore scrunchies and asked questions and I’m pretty dead set on embodying that characterization for the rest of my life.

Twenty five seems like a big number, and to be honest that’s pretty intimidating. But if this coming year is anything like 24, I’m excited for the challenge! This birthday is a chance to celebrate all the complicated and silly and wonderful things that life has thrown at me in the past quarter century. It’s a chance to reflect how much I’ve grown since this day last year. A chance to face the challenges, big and small, that certainly await me in the year to come.
Manifesting these boots were made for WALKIN energy all February and hoping u do the same!!!
U know those days that are so beautiful ur just like laughing in disbelief?? Isn’t that the best??
