Coffee is how I’m surviving most of my days as of lat(t)e. 😜Between Vet Tech school and work, I need all the energy I can get! ☕️ #coffee #coffeebreak #myface #selfie #canyoutellimtired #caffeine #pun #punny (at Los Alamitos, California)

Animals will always have a special place in my heart. Ever since I can remember I’ve wanted to help animals. When I was in kindergarten I wanted to be a pig farmer because I thought that all you did was take care of and love pigs, boy was I wrong! But my kindergarten teacher gave me a book about pigs and told me not to give up on my dreams; now I’m wanting to have my own farm sanctuary— I guess that’s a better version of my original dream. 😊 🐐🐖🐓🐄💕 #animal #animals #animallover #farm #farmgirlatheart #goat #goatlove #goatsofinstagram #goatsofinsta (at Lakewood Equestrian Center)

I’ve been trying to identify these crystals but I can’t seem to find anything! Can anyone help me, please? They’re all the same— they all broke off of one large crystal— found in the San Jacinto mountains in Southern California. #gems #crystals #minerals #crystal #crystalidentification #geology #crystalidentificationhelp #helpidentifythis #rocks #southerncalifornia #californiacrystals (at Mt.

Went to Little Tokyo last night with some of my most favorite people in the world!! Honestly, I was a bit bummed out yesterday because we had had plans to host a bonfire and it fell through. Not knowing what to do, we made last minute plans to go to LA and ended up going to Little Tokyo, Amoeba music on sunset blvd, and then finally hanging out in front of the fireplace at Long Beach Towne Center with hot drinks and deep talks. One of the best nights I’ve had in a long time! #littletokyo #littletokyola #mrramen #mrramenLA #ramennoodles #puripix #amoebamusic #sunsetblvd #sunsetboulevard #longbeach #longbeachtownecenter #LB #LBTC #friends #bestfriends #mylove #goodtimes 📸⛩📀🍜☕️💕 (at Little Tokyo - 小東京)

Can anyone identify these crystals? Found them in the San Jacinto Mountains in Southern California. They both broke off of the same large crystal, by the way. Thanks!

Made this necklace tonight & I’m kind of obsessed with it now! ✨😍 What do you guys think? Should I make more? #crystal #crystalnecklace #crystalchoker #homemade #handmade #handmadejewelry #newhobbyfound

It's been awhile and I'm definitely rusty but I'm decently proud of how this turned out! Princess Mononoke is my all time favorite movie. ♥️ #Miyazaki #HayouMiyazaki #StudioGhibli #Ghibli #PrincessMononoke #Mononoke #MononokeHime #もののけ姫 #もののけ #もののけひめ #doodle #art #drawing #sketch ✍🏻 Also I know my kanji isn't great.. I haven't written in Japanese in a long time. Please be nice!

"Love is what you make it. You deserve to be treasured." 💕 Absolutely in *love* with this stuff! 😍 🌸smells amazing 🌸packaging is adorable 🌸 total mood booster!! 🌸 there are tiny crystals in every bottle✨ There are 5 different scents, each with their own unique, beneficial properties! This one in particular spoke to me the most as it has rose quartz in it. Known as the "love stone", this Crystal calls forth "love, romance, self-worth, and balance." The scent definitely lasts most of the day, however I found myself reapplying simply because it made me happy! I also love that it's small enough to throw in your purse so you can carry those good feelings with you all day. 😌Will definitely be repurchasing his product again and again. What a great way to start off the new year! 🌸✨ @pacificabeauty #pacificabeauty #aromatherapy #aromapower #breathtaking #rosequartz #vegan #veganbeauty #crueltyfree #crueltyfreebeauty #love #loveispowerful
