aesthetic

I have fine, straight brown hair that falls down to the middle of my back. My eyes are dark brown, but I like to wear green, grey, or honey brown circle lenses to change things up. Despite avoiding the sun like I'm paid to, I have year-round freckles on my face, shoulders, and arms. I do not tan; my Fitzpatrick skin type I always burns so SPF is my BFF. My facial skin is reactive and dry, so I baby it with gentle products. I also deal with rosacea and eczema, which is super annoying.

Because of my skin issues, I rarely wear make up. When I do, I prefer a very light base to even out my ruddy complexion. I don't do much else besides tame my eyebrows and put on tubing mascara. Eyeshadow and eyeliner, unfortunately, give my skin trouble. I do have an extensive lipstick collection, though! I love a good gloss too.

I am taller than the average American woman (5'10") and am often mistaken for being in my early-to-mid twenties. I don't think I look particularly youthful, but *shrug*. The annoying thing about people constantly underestimating your age is that you're often treated like a dumb kid, rather than a peer.

I have a septum piercing and a left helix; I want to double pierce my lobes next.

I am a true winter so I primarily wear black, greens, reds, navy, and white because those are what I look best in. Silver jewelry is my bias. I rarely take off my Pandora charm bracelet; every charm was a gift and has a meaning behind it. Other than my charm bracelet, the only other piece of jewelry I wear all the time is my wedding band.

I like to wear athleisure, jeans, pullover sweatshirts, t-shirts, and simple dresses. I go for comfort over style.

I prefer shoes that I can slip my feet into over the kind that you have to lace up and wear socks with. When I have to wear socks, I will only wear crew socks without seams.

Health Since February of 2025, I have lost almost 100lbs thanks to a combination of Wegovy and lifestyle changes.

I started my weight loss journey at a size 22 (3XL) weighing 285lbs (129kg).
In our wedding photo gallery, I weigh ~250lbs (~113kg) and my wedding dress was taken in to a size 20 (2XL).
My weight is currently in the high 180lbs (~85kg).
My end goal is to weigh somewhere between 150-170lbs (68-77kg) depending on what my health team wants me to maintain.
I currently wear a size 14 (L/XL) and I do not have to shop in plus size specialty clothing stores anymore!

With my weight loss progress, I have managed to reverse non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. I was able to stop taking blood pressure and GERD medication, too!
