Hello friends!
If you've been following along with my Instagram adventures, then you know that I recently completed the 2018 Seattle Independent Bookstore Day Challenge! *crowd goes wild* For those of you who don't follow my IG, or who missed it, let me explain:
Every year, on the last Saturday of April, it is Independent Bookstore Day nationwide, and in Seattle we booknerds go all out. Starting in 2015, Seattle's indie bookstores collaborated to create a "daylong celebration of the work [they] do and the readers and customers who make it possible. [They] offered many of the same events and exclusive items as [their] colleagues across the country, but [they] also introduced the Passport Challenge, encouraging readers to get their passports stamped at as many participating stores as possible on Bookstore Day. Those who get their passports stamped at every participating store that day are crowned Grand Champions, with a crown, a party, and best of all, a 25% discount at all participating stores for the following year."

I'm excited to share an amazing set featuring the beautiful Gabrielle (IG: @gabrielle.janae) taken during October's Street Meet WA event. Gabrielle was wonderful to work with. Her outfit was perfectly put together, and she knew how to work the look to create beautiful and dynamic images. Plus, look at her shoes! Staying balanced and graceful in those heels takes talent, determination, and a great sense of balance, and Gabrielle made it look effortless.

I've spent my first month as a Tree Lyfe Big Sister wearing three of their bracelets 24/7, and I'm excited to share my experience with y'all! Tree Lyfe (@betreelyfe) makes high quality bracelets for all genders, but with an environmental twist- for every bracelet sold, a tree is planted (awesome right?!). Combining this concern for the planet with a positive message, Tree Lyfe reminds us that "in order to grow, we have to fight through the dirt and darkness to reach the light," just like a tree. With such an encouraging and environmentally friendly mission, I couldn't help but say yes when Tree Lyfe invited me to represent them. However, I don't recommend or represent companies whose products I don't believe in, so I've been wearing three Tree Lyfe bracelets 24/7 for an entire month in order to test their durability and comfort.
