THANK YOU to everyone for coming out and supporting me not only last weekend, but always. It is always so humanizing to actually speak face to face with you guys, I appreciate all of your efforts big and small, your support from near and far, and your kind words more than you can imagine. 
and a huge thank you to my boo @teslapanic for rocking the meet and greet with me, @douche_zork for being the ultimate bodyguard and overall protector of @elysium_studios and to @racquelelena and @its_delphenasilas for holding it down for me as well. The amount of love I’ve acquired in my life is unreal, and I’m feeling truly truly lucky. 
but come on, how insane is this nature? It’s crazy to think that places like this exist in the world. It all just felt like a dream. It’s so humbling and so hard to believe I had the opportunity to visit this natural wonder, and all of the other beautiful places I’ve seen over the past year or so. Taking a few moments to be truly grateful to the universe, and really take in how lucky I am for this day and every day. 
loved hanging out with this babe while in Phoenix shooting @inkmasterangels
