Red is quite an intimidating color. It boldy takes up space on your behalf. I don't where red often but I'm getting a little more comfortable with allowing myself to be seen and occupy space, even and sometimes especially, when it is uncomfortable.

I like to have my nails manicured. A mani/ pedi, as I like to call it, has moved up my list of most enjoyable indulgent activities. Now that I mostly maintain my own hair, the feeling of my hair being washed and massaged at the sink is now infrequent.

Took these beautiful pictures earlier this week as part of @sharonmalonza & I's attempts to learn how to self shoot. The rest of the pictures from this littu session are up on my blog, bloomingbutterfly.me (🔗 in bio), together with some of my thoughts about rest and how I plan to take better care of myself this year.

Nothing intentional about this picture but I love it. I suspect it's largely because I was freshly excited about my cut.

In between moments of tenderness.

Playing with color palettes is my latest fashion obsession. Whether it's different shades of the same color to create a variation of a monochrome look or color blocking at the other end of the scale, it's all fascinating. 😍😍
