This elixir contains natural ethanol alcohol, aloe vera, tea tree oil and is infused with quartz.⠀ ⠀ Don’t forget that the best way to disinfect your hands of coronavirus is properly scrubbing them with soap and water! I hope you guys are all keeping yourselves and your loved ones safe and healthy 🖤

I don't have the eloquence to properly convey the importance of what we're doing now - speaking up, protesting, petitioning, donating, educating. Real change is taking place because we are speaking up. All four officers involved in George Floyd's murder are now facing charges, with the officer who killed him now facing second degree murder charges. Minneapolis has banned chokeholds by police and requires officers to report and intervene against unauthorized use of force by another officer. Serious conversations are being had for much needed police reform. Don't stop fighting for justice. Sometimes it's hard to imagine how your voice can make a difference. It can. There is proof.⠀

For any of you who are financially able to make a donation or have made one in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, DM me with a screenshot of the receipt and I'll draw you a sketch of your choice.

I love this cheeky little creature, even though Twilight Princess is probably my least favorite Zelda game. Do you guys have a favorite Zelda game? Mine has to be Ocarina of Time, but Breath of the Wild is a very, very close second.

Now that I have a lot more time, I wanted to join in on the #sixfanarts challenge! First up is Kiki and Jiji. There's something so relatable about this little girl and her journey to find her purpose. I've been struggling my whole life to figure out the best style to represent myself as an artist, even now I must have changed styles five times since I started this Instagram. But I'm learning through it all, so bare with me, I'll get there one day 🖤

I really like the amount of texture I'm getting from these!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It's been raining an unusual amount here lately (any amount of rain is unusual for California) and it's just been putting me in such a good mood. Work also requested that we work from home, so I'm stoked to be in my pajamas for the rest of the week. I hope you're all staying safe and cozy!

I was inspired by Sara Hagstrom (@nucheki on Twitter. She doesn't seem to have an Instagram.) and her adorable Animal Crossing tote to create myself as a villager and fill my inventory with some of my favorite things.

This week has been a week of cool ideas that got lost in translation somewhere between my brain and my hand, but the struggle is part of the process, as frustrating as that is 💀
