Dress up & dance out (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Lightning in a Bottle Day 2 was my FAVORITE day. Our whole group was on the same wavelength the entire day, and there was such a strong feeling of connection. It’s always so much better having connectivity and familiarity within yourself because it makes you feel comfortable knowing you are accustomed to the environment you’re in.

On this day, Nate and I did some morning yoga with our new friends we met day 1, those who call themselves the Kamel Krew. They’re such a fun group of people. Not gonna lie, I cried during one of the chants at yoga because I felt the power and it affected me in an emotional way. Yoga always gets me. The very first time I did yoga at SunSpark Yoga with my friend Anita, I cried there too. All of these tears were out of joy. After yoga at LIB, we got some refreshments from a stand called Giggle Juice. Nate got iced mate and I got a drink called Tiger, which was fresh pressed orange, sweet carrots and ginger juice. Drinking it tinted by lips as if it was a natural lipstick! Tasted so good, refreshing and gave me energy for the day.

Here are just a few pictures from Day 1. Lightning in a Bottle was truly an experience that showed me what it really means to work together. Life HAS to be collaborative. Everything is done better when working with others. From simple things like putting up the tent together for the first time without my Dad’s help with Nate, to surviving 12-hour-long days walking, dancing and exploring around the entire venue, unity is extremely important. I have never felt so connected to the community around me until I went to LIB. One of my favorite things was the daily sunsets. Every day, when the sun would start to go down, it would only take ONE person to start howling, which would lead to almost everyone at LIB howling at the sun together. We all got to channel our inner animal, and we got to project our voices as one with the Earth. We aren’t just humans. Every single person has potential and carries their own purpose. Everyone brings their own uniqueness into the world, and whether they know it or not, it is greatly appreciated by those around them.

Last week, I went to a 5-day-, 4-night-long art & music festival called Lightning in a Bottle. I’ve gone to many different events before and I KNOW how tangled my hair gets even after one day. SO, to accommodate for that, I decided to get my hair braided by the talented Dylen. I heard about her through Camila’s Instagram because she always gets her hair done by her. Dylen worked her magic and transformed my hair to the hairstyle of a majestic unicorn. She gave me medium-sized individual triangle braids with colored synthetic hair. It took 4 and a half hours! However, that didn’t bother me at all, considering the fact that we got to watch four episodes of 13 Reasons Why. Ever since I got my hair done, I’ve been getting endless compliments throughout Lightning in a Bottle and even up to now, my co-workers and customers keep complimenting me at work. The good thing about these braids is that I did not have to dye any of my hair to get the colors I wanted, and they are able to last 4-6 weeks. Thank you, Dylen!

Found a cute little boba café in Downtown Fullerton called Café Bing. Dripp was getting busier and more crowded, so I decided to change the scene. Café Bing is really spacious, has a cute couch against the wall, and a lot of tables. They have drinks and desserts. When I first got there, it was pretty empty. However, as it got a little later, it started to fill up with more people. Even then, I was able to concentrate on my own work since I had my headphones in. Upon leaving, I ordered a HORCHATA SMOOTHIE with boba. Super good! Perfectly reflected regular horchata, just in smoothie form ( ･_･)♡
