Good ol’ lj 2018 recap
What did you do in 2018 that you'd never done before?
I hold my own table. On my own. Under my own name. At a a tattoo convention. Without anyone to tell me what I can or can’t do.
Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more?
I didn’t make any last year. Not sure I’m really making any this year, but I feel more motivated to give up some bad habits and improve certain side of my life right now. So I guess a LOT less smoking ( maybe even stop entirely), less sugar and processed food, and actually step foot in a beauty institute.

What would you like to have in 2019 that you lacked in 2018?
Peace of mind on a few important subjects.
What date from 2018 will remain etched upon your memory?
im Not good with dates at all, so i’d Say moments. The moments I lost my cousin and my beloved bunny. Also the last weekend of July, when my mum got diagnosed with cancer. Hard times.
