    Yachimun mani 🩵💙🤎 

I started getting manicures at a Japanese salon when I began to work full time for my ✨ mental health ✨ and some self care 💅🏼. I started with solid colors, then magnetic polishes, then I treated myself to a fully custom set… and I haven’t been able to look back. 

It’s now been a year and I’ve had the time of my life coming up with monthly dopamine nail designs 🌀! Last month I got a design inspired by Okinawan pottery including a few pieces from own collection 😭 I don’t know how I’m going to surpass this set.

I haven’t been great at taking photos of my nails 🙃 but this set deserved a spot on my feed! Check out my 💅🏼 highlight to see my monthly story videos. Now I’m thinking it’s time to snap some updated photos of my pottery collection 🥹

    A stroll through Koza 🩵🌺🌿

The bougainvillea were popping mid-January so I drove all the way to Okinawa City for a much needed creative photography session around Gate 2 Street… only to realize my camera had barely any battery 😅! It’s always something with me and my ADHD. 

Here’s a little compilation of #fujifilmx100v and iphone pics all edited on @acolorstory 🫶🏼✨ #okilivingmag 

I really struggled to pick my favorite to display on the feed… let me know which one is your favorite!👇🏼

    🐚🩵

Realized it’s been forever since I posted on the feed and I felt the itch to edit one of the hundreds of beautiful images just collecting imaginary dust in my external hard drive 🥹! So here’s a magical scene I stumbled upon on a beach in #Miyakojima last year! 

I’m really hoping that someday soon I’ll feel the motivation to give these images the time and love they deserve 😭. I need to dive back into my trips from the past 2 years and share more with ya’ll. I miss sharing my work… but for now you’ll continue to get crumbs 🤣 sorry!

    Thought it was about time for a 💜 bougainvillea ❤️ appreciation post, featuring a few photos I collected this spring! They truly make any space extra magical ✨ Of course I had to close the carousel with the beauty in my backyard that has brought me so much joy! 🥹
