There aren’t many reasons I am happy to get out of bed early on Saturdays…the opportunity to play classical flute is one of the few! So thankful to be able to play this morning for a private event…I’m for hire, FYI! 🎶❤️🎶 #wearevqpowell #geoffreyellisflutes #sparkletop #longhair #glasses #femalemusician #multiinstrumentalist #classicalflute https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd0tUU8ubgB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I spent 1-2 weeks in at the Shell Lake Arts Center for probably 4 or 5 years. I wouldn’t be the musician or educator I am today without having had this experience. ❤️❤️❤️ What a wonderful day catching up with Steve Zenz from the Shell Lake Arts Center! If you have a student in music, I cannot recommend this experience enough! Check it out https://www.instagram.com/p/CctJ0lFJyKC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Life is more beautiful when you meet the right hairdresser.” - Peter Coppola I absolutely love every time I’m in Abbey Hamilton’s chair at Starr's Sister Salon! She’s been with me since the start of my journey of growing my hair, and always does an amazing job - yesterday was no different! Here are some before and after shots. 🥰❤️ (Have no fear - she and I are total agreement on keeping as much overall length as possible! 😉 ) #starrssistersalon #longhair #layer #victoriashoemaker #stylin #straighthair #naturalcolor (at Starr's Sister Salon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcDhp_JOMFj/?utm_medium=tumblr
