Thoughts? I'm wearing #glamnetic lashes (Verified is the style), and so far I'm digging the hold! Eyeshadow is @colourpopcosmetics The Child palette.

I didn't post a lot of pictures this year. (Not of me. My cat is an entirely different matter) But I'm glad you guys still appreciated what I did post. Especially that I make an excellent Harley Quinn.

Not pictured, me wiping out after forgetting how much of a slope the driveway has.

This is why I wore the wrist guards, even though I skipped the rest today. Gonna keep working on breaking these in, and look for a flat, but empty space to skate.
