WEEK 53

House Arrest and Spa Day


TUESDAY JULY 18
Probably the most boring day ever. Other than Wednesday. So we had to go grocery shopping in the morning because we didn't have time after the concussion and the hospital on Monday. Even though the mission president gave very specific instructions that I wasn't allowed to leave the house for two days since I was concussed.... we were out of food. It was an emergency. So we got groceries and then.... well okay, so on Monday we had an appointment with a member that we had to cancel and I felt really bad soooooo, we went to go see her on Tuesday. I did her makeup. It looked great. Then I got a bad headache so we went home and I took ibuprofen and we called the elders and asked them to cover our English class. Elder Green was really funny about it, oh my goodness, he feels so bad for concussing me. He offered to bring us medicine because he didn't know if I had any and he apologized about a million times. Honestly I still just think it's so funny. An elder gave me a concussion. How fun is that story??? Then Tuesday night I made ciorba and it was gooooood.

WEDNESDAY JULY 19
Don't worry, Mom, I actually stayed home all day Wednesday. In the morning, we blew a circuit because I guess there was something wrong with our lightbulbs??? Idk. So we had to call our landlord and he sent an electrician over to change all of our lightbulbs. I made a planner cover and taught my companions how to play Rummy and I made a cake. Hold up. Lemme tell y'all about this cake. So it's called a Kentucky butter cake but I call it the Paula Deen cake because it seriously uses like three cups of butter. It was one of my favorite things at home so last week I googled the recipe and decided to make it. It's supposed to be a bundt cake and we don't have a bundt pan so I had to kinda just wing it in a casserole dish. But oh my goodness it was glorious. Seriously I'm amazed it turned out thought because baking here is always a mess because everything is different. But it was bombbbb.




THURSDAY JULY 20
On Thursday I officially became a baba. I've been a missionary for a year. How disgusting is that. I was finally allowed to leave the house. We went to the office to grab refunds for some stuff and then ran to Piata Unirii for lunch. Since it was my year mark I was like hmmmm #treatyoself so we went to Starbucks so I could get a frap. We knew the guy working that day and he wouldn't let me pay. He just wouldn't take my money.  Then we went to go visit a friend at her job. After that, we weekly planned. 

FRIDAY JULY 21
District meeting! So we had a normal district meeting, buuuut we also had spa day. That was fun. The elders had no idea how to wash their faces and they all used my pink headbands.





 I also brought my makeup so I could put a face on after district meeting without having to go home and so the elders were like "teach us about makeup" so I taught them about makeup and they were so confused about the difference between a primer and a concealer and it was just really funny. So spa day was fun. Then we visited Sora Sergentu and I got to help her put all her family history on family search :)))) I love family history so much. We visited Sora Florica after that and she gave us ice cream and was just adorable. She has polio. Lots of people here do. She lectured us for like twenty minutes about why vaccinations are freaking important and I was just like yeah. You right. When we got home, I called a member from Cluj because it was her birthday and six months ago I promised I'd say happy birthday and she didn't believe me. Ha. I win :) She was so happy it made my day. 

SATURDAY JULY 22
English! After English we went home for lunch + to change because we were going on a pioneer day hike with the YSA and some investigators. 




It was SO MUCH FUN. We found this old abandoned building that looked like a church but turned out to be a weird crypt thing. 



SO COOL. It was crazy hot and the mosquitos were eating us alive but it was such a fun day. Oh man. 




SUNDAY JULY 23
Church! I translated again. I love translating. We almost always have some American visitors in addition to the senior couple. So the way translating here works at least in this branch is they all have a headset and then I sit in the back with a microphone. Occasionally I have no idea what someone is talking about or they say a joke that just doesn't translate well and also I'm me, so I throw in commentary every once in a while (like "she's quoting a scripture and I didn't catch the reference but it's probably the Old Testament because it doesn't make any sense") and it's always fun to watch the English speakers react to my translations. I usually get a few laughs. It's great. After church we came home and made quesadillas for lunch. With homemade tortillas because somehow I've turned into a great cook. Whaaaaaat? And Sora Lehr made cookies because that night, one of the elders here was doing a piano concert. He's crazy good. So we went to that and then came home.

MONDAY JULY 24
Holy guacamole. So this morning we went to the mall because Sora Sterrett decided she wanted to start wearing makeup and she wanted help buying stuff. She ended up buying one of the palettes that I own because last week I did her makeup and she fell in love with this palette. And now she owns a lot of really good makeup because we went to Sephora and I'm jealous. Also I'm feeling shopper's remorse secondhand for her because she spent a lotttttt of money. But it was fun to shop for makeup but not actually lose any of my own money lol. Then we got stopped by some mall kiosk girl and she curled my hair and was just a lot of fun to talk to. We got her number :) She was super cute. And now I'm emailing. Hi friends.

WEEK 52

So I didn't break my neck but I do have a concussion. Thanks Elder Green


Tuesday July eleventh
I don't remember 100% what we did all day on Tuesday other than buy train tickets and then teach English and then take a train to Ploiesti for exchanges on Wednesday! It was a nice train ride. We got first class because it was super cheap and then I got to see Sora Lee and Sora Djahanbani :)



Wednesday July twelfth
Exchanges! Sora Sterrett and I went with Sora Djahanbani. It was mostly just a day of contacting. We randomly ran into a bunch of American military people and it was suuuuuuper cool. I got to hold a really big gun and stand on a tank.



Completely disarmed. They were letting anyone handle the weapons as a PR thing for military transparency or something.

Then we rushed home to go to games night and the train wasn't first class so it sucked. Games night was a ton of fun.


Thursday July thirteenth
In the morning we went way la tara and helped weed a lady's garden and then we had lunch with the Shurtleffs (a senior couple). It was great. But weird being around Americans. Then we met with Diana. It was a lame lesson.

Friday July fourteenth
District meeting! And I don't remember what else

Saturday July fifteenth
English! and games night. Diana and her Finnish stepbrother came. It was a fun time.

Sunday July sixteenth
Church. idk what else

Monday July seventeenth
WHAT A DAY. SO. We woke up and got out of the house early so we could go play soccer with all the missionaries in Buc. and I was like wel,l I have a bad knee so lemme just be the goalie, which was fine until Elder Green decided to KILL ME. JK, it's not his fault, it's just kinda funny. So he like kicked the ball really hard really close directly at my forehead and I snap back and fall flat on the ground and guess what's on the ground? A metal goalpost. So I snapped my head really hard on that. Since there was a senior couple there they made me go to the hospital, which was awful because all they did was give me x-rays and then tell me I had a concussion and all the stuff that goes along with that. So then the Shurtleffs bought us KFC and now i'm emailing. whooo-hoooo. Also while I was in the hospital I called Elder Green and told him I had a hairline fracture in my neck and he felt really bad and then later I told him the truth but it was pretty funny. Maybe you just had to be there........

But yeah. that's my week. Also if anyone out there loves me a ton and wants to send me a package, I need American deodorant and American tampons. The stuff here REALLY doesn't work.

WEEK 51

My country tis of thee sweet land of hotdog eating contests of thee I sing!

Monday July Third
Monday after I emailed we went home and ordered pizza and I made ciorba for the week and it was freaking great. 



Somehow I've learned how to cook on my mission and my companions thank me for feeding them by always doing the dishes :))))

Tuesday July Fourth 🎇🎇🎇🎇🌭🌭🍔🍔
Lemme just say that it was incredibly sad to spend one of my favorite holidays in a country where NO ONE CARES. No fireworks. No barbeques. No red white or blue. SO SAD. Anyway so we did some language studying and some park contacting and nothing fun happened and then we went to lunch at Hard Rock to celebrate the fourth. 



We all got burgers except Sora Lehr who got hot wings that were buy one plate get the second free so we all shared the second plate. It was pretty good food but I still miss America. I miss the hot dog eating contest. Who won by they way??? After that we did some more contacting and then we taught English. We analyzed the lyrics of Bohemian Rhapsody and then had them watch the music video. I love teaching advanced :)))

Wednesday July Fifth
We did some comp study at Starbucks and then we went into city center for lunch and language study. We met with Diana and it went SO WELL. She taught us the whole resto and planul salvarii and then we just filled in the gospel lesson. She's so great. When she was talking about the Plan of Salvation she was like "there are some girls at my school who do whatever they want and then go to church on Sunday and then just do the same things the next week and they think it's okay. Like no girl, God knows, you're going to the star."  (Telestial Kingdom) idk it was just really funny. Then we met with Mirela and I didn't fall asleep! Hallelujah. Then English immersion games night. It was super dope. Diana came and we played signs and it was just littttttttt. 

Thursday July Sixth
We ran to Mihai Bravu so Sora Lehr could practice the musical number with Sora Schow for zone conference. We got food and studied and contacted and then had interviews with President and Sora Hettinger. They're super great and I really like them. 

Friday July Seventh
Zone Conference! It was really good except apparently if you don't take a full hour of dinner before 9pm, you're not being obedient. LOL. Ain't nobody got time for that. But we're trying.


Cockroach outside our door

Saturday July Eighth

English! Then lunch. I helped a Swedish guy order food. It was fun. Then contacting and studying and such also we got bunged and that sucked. Games night. MB games night is weird. They basically just do an hour of Sunday School type lessons and then 20 minutes of games. It's weird and no one likes it. Sooooooo we started our own lol oops.

Sunday July Ninth
We visited Sora Anstchel and she's doing well. That was about all we did other than church

Monday July Tenth
Basically nothing except grocery shopping and I mailed a package home to my family and the Romanian postal workers are LITERALLY THE WORST THING EVER. They better appreciate it lol.

WEEK 50


Happy Birthday America US US US US



MARTI 27 IUNIE
So on Tuesday, Sora Lehr and I contacted a buuuuunch of people from our area books and phones and then we went out. We ended up visited this one guy named Sebi at his work (Starbucks) and the whole meeting was pretty good until he told us that he just wanted a wife. Ha. So we am plecat real quick. After Sebi we limba studied. We've been going to a bookstore lately. After limba study we ran to the mall to get donuts for Elder Boud because it was his birthday! We had Elder Meek ask him what his favorite dessert was and he said donuts so we got him donuts and candles and a birthday card. We surprised them before English. It was fun. Then English. We get to teach advanced this transfer so I actually don't hate it. It's a miracle. After English we ended up playing ping pong with a member and the elders to celebrate Elder Boud's birthday. 

MIERCURI 28 IUNIE
Wednesday morning I found something fun under our couch. A list of every missionary's birthday. Do you know whose birthday ISN'T June 27th? Elder Boud. Wanna hear something even more sad? I ALREADY CELEBRATED HIS BIRTHDAY WITH HIM THIS YEAR AT ZONE CONFERENCE AND I FORGOT. I ALREADY SIGNED A BIRTHDAY CARD AND SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I felt so dumb lol. So we called the elders and chewed them out a little bit because all four of them were in on it. Losers lol. Then we visited Sora Lature. Her son is getting married in a month and she somehow talked Sora Lehr and I into doing her hair and makeup.... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. We'll see how that goes! Later that day we went to visit a less active member with a member named Sora Preda. She's like the best member missionary ever. It was fun. After Sora Preda we went to the church for an English immersion night we're starting and the elders had apology donuts! It was really funny. They wrote notes on the box lol it was really sweet of them. Even though they LIED to us! It was nice :) The English thing went well. Not a greaaat use of time but it was okay. 




JOI 29 IUNIE
Thursday I don't remember what happened in the morning but eventually we met with a girl named Alexandra and it was the best lesson of my entire mission. We ended up spending a few hours with her and she's the most prepared person I've ever met. It was incredible. After her we met with a Nigerian girl from England named Tolu. She's going to med school here. She's super cute but going back to England for the summer :((( Oh well. After Tolu we ran to the gara because there were some missionaries in Buc that Sora Lehr wanted to say hi to. 

VINERI 30 IUNIE
District meeting! It was aight. Then pizza. It was pretty good. Domino's here is just so much better than at home. It's weird. For the rest of the day we studied and contacted and then went to visit Mihaela and her family. She wasn't home so we ended up talking to her mom. Sora Lehr and I just felt like crying afterward. It was rough.

SAMBATA 1 IULIE
We got to Cismigiu Park at 10 to meet the new mission president! He and his wife are so nice. All of the missionaries in Buc were invited. It was great. They're really glad to be here and we're excited to have them! It's gonna be good 'cause it's great. After Cismigiu we came home and weekly planned and called people from the area book again because it was like 110F with humidity on Saturday and it was DEATH. We went to the church at 4 for a YW activity and then there was a baptism at 5. So this family from Norway came to baptize their 8 year old son because the wife is Romanian and she wanted her family to be there. So we got to hear some Norwegian! It was really cool. 

DUMINICA 2 IULIE
Sunday was fun. Church was good. I got to translate :))))) And then we taught youth sunday school. It went well. After church, we finally got reunited with our beloved Sora Sterrett! She's back from her week-long exchange and we're so excited :)) Also last night there was a huuuuuuge thunderstorm and it was dope. The thunder was so loud that it woke us all up at 3am. It was freaking cool. 

LUNI 3 IULIE

Today we deep cleaned our apartment. It was wonderful. It's still raining and lightninging and thundering a ton and the streets are flooded and my feet are wet but honestly it's better than the heat!

Week 49

Goodbye Clark;  Hello Kyle


The trio is great. I love them both and it's awesome. We've been finding a ton of people and it's been a good week.




WEDNESDAY 21 JUNE
So on Wednesday we went to visit Sora Lature in the morning and helped her clean a bunch of stuff because it was her grandson's birthday and they were going to have a party. So we basically just did yard work in skirts because I didn't realize how intense this service thing would be. Oops. After Sora Lature, we ran to the church to do some companionship study before our lesson with Sora Preda BUT it turns out that Sora Preda cancelled on us but one of my comps just didn't understand her on the phone and thought she was confirming. Nope. Cancelling. So we just did some limba study instead and then went English contacting at the mall. We ended up in Sephora somehow and we were trying to sneakily contact the Sephora workers but it ended up with a worker who was NOT good at brows doing my eyebrows at the benefit brow bar. she messed up so bad and had to call the Benefit specialist over to fix my eyebrows. They still weren't looking great but they were better. We invited them both to English though and they both were super nice and said they'd come so there's that. 

THURSDAY 22 JUNE
Thursday! We visited Valerica and her bird pooped on Sora Lehr. It was hilarious. We had lunch at KFC and comp studied there and then went contacting. We ran into some Italian people and they were super nice but mostly I think they were just drunk. Then we language studied and then did some metrou contacting. We talked to some super dope people but most of them are just like "add me on facebook!" and we're like lol we can't, and then we never see them again because they don't have a phone number. #getthismissionsomeipadskyle

FRIDAY 23 JUNE
District meeting! The new district is super dope. It's me and my two companions, Sora Sterrett and Sora Lehr, and two elders from last transfer, Elder Green and Elder Meek, and then their companions Elder Boud and Elder Bird. I gotta say, I miss Elder Lemon and Elder Sewell and Sora Warwick. They were a ton of fun. After DM we went to lunch at 18 and it was super great, and then we did some park contacting! 




We met with a member named Mirela and Sora Lehr almost fell asleep, and then more contacting. We met this super awesome girl named Maria who seemed so great, she was asking us questions about the Book of Mormon and heaven and we basically taught her the first three lessons right there on a bench. Then she started talking about reincarnation and was basically missionarying us trying to convert us to reincarnation and told us that we needed to come to the light. Super interesting but also really frustrating because we thought we found someone golden but nope. But, oh my goodness, while we were talking to her, this guy rolls up on a bike and stops and looks at Sora Sterrett and said something we didn't really understand and so Maria translated for us and basically it was "i like you i want to get to know you can we talk?" but in like a weird Romanian saying or something and Sora Sterrett just looks at him and is like "sorry i have a boyfriend" and then he got all sad and left. Maybe you just had to be there, but it was hilarious. 

SATURDAY 24 JUNE
We weekly planned, got bunged, comp studied, and then met with a girl named Andreea that I met on the metrou on Tuesday. We got ice cream and then talked. she's leaving to England for the summer on Saturday :((( but she was super cool. Then we went to a baptism! The other branch here in Buc was having a baptism so we went. It was cool. 

SUNDAY 25 JUNE
Church was really good. The whole Ivory family spoke because they're leaving this week and our new mission president is getting here. I'm really going to miss them :(( After church we came home and had lunch and then headed to Piata Unirii for a branch contacting activity. It was a ton of fun. We had a question written on a whiteboard that said "if you could ask God one question, what would it be?"  




I stopped and talked to an orthodox priest (no picture, what a bummer) and he basically avoided the question and was just like "well God knows everything, I just think it's important to serve everyone around us because then we're serving God" and I was like okay that's not an answer but whatever. It was a good conversation though. Then we came home and Sora Sterrett packed because she's going on exchanges this week with another sister in the mission. So bye bye trio life! but just for this week so it's okay. We miss her though :(

MONDAY 26 JUNE
We grocery shopped and then came to email lol we haven't done much.

WEEK 48

I Hate Teaching English: Episode 47939


N-am chef for a good group email sorry :))))))

MONDAY 12 JUNE
So Monday after we finished emailing we watched The Other Side of Heaven with the other sisters and ordered pizza. I love serving in a city with more sisters. It's nice to hang out with them :)

TUESDAY 13 JUNE
We visited a member named Valerica and she's still her same old nebuna self. Then we ran up to the office to get some reimbursements, and then we went to Hard Rock because they have a cheap lunch special and we were hungry and it's close by. It was yum. After lunch language studied and got bunged. Then English. Do I still hate English? Yes.

WEDNESDAY 14 JUNE
Bomb comp study and then lunch and then a BOMB resto lesson with AnaMaria and her son Toni. It was SO GOOD. That family is just golden. Then we visited a member and she fed us but asa e. Then we limba'd and met with a YW named Olivia. She's 12 and adorable.

THURSDAY 15 JUNE
Sora Lature and then Andra.  Eventually we met with Simona and Romeo and they made us STEAK AND POTATOES. It was so  good. They're adorable. They're teaching themselves seminary and it's so cute. 

FRIDAY 16 JUNE
Our last district meeting :( It was a good one though. We ordered pizza after and then we language studied and contacted and then weekly planned. The other sisters came over for dinner. It was fun :) 


SATURDAY 17 JUNE
Transfer board came out! I'm staying in Panduri. The sister companionships are combining, and we're going to be a trio! Sora Sterrett is coming in from the other companionship and Sora Lehr is coming down from Iasi. Who-hooo. Then English. I still hate it. Saturday night was an activity/concert thing at the other chapel in Bucharest and it was meh but I GOT TO SEE MY MOM! I mean my mission mom, my trainer, Sora Kitchen. 


And some people from Bacau and Constanta and it was GREAT.




 I was so happy. On our way there we met this guy on the train who was coming to the concert too because his son in Arizona who's a member heard about it and told him to go. He lives in Prescott Arizona and if I remember right my cousin Heath lives there...?? Someone ask him if he knows a Robert or Joyce Toma with kids who are like 10 and 7. Anyway so Saturday was suucuuuch a good day except then I just had to say goodbye to Sora Kitchen again so that was sad. I haven't seen her since she went home in November and I missed her a tonnnn.


SUNDAY 18 JUNE
Church! It was good. After church we went to the YW president's house with the other sisters. Her name is Daisy and she's from the Philipines. She made us some bomb food and told us mission stories and it was really fun. Then we went to the church to make cookies with a member named Nate and some of the other missionaries. He's working on his mission papers right now and he's almost done! Then everyone packed. We went over to the other sisters apartment to help Sora Warwick pack because she's going home today actually and we ended up losing track of time and having to stay the night. 

MONDAY 19 JUNE
We came home and Sora NJ finished packing and then we took her to the gara to meet her new companion. Sora Lehr got here at some point and then it was just the four of us (me lehr sterrett and warwick) and things just worked out weird so we had to email today. We had pizza last night. It was yum. 

TUESDAY 20 JUNE
We dropped Sora Warwick off at the office and said bye :((( i'm really sad to see her go. We got to be really good friends this transfer and I'm so stoked to go home and be real life friends. She's awesome and I love her bunches. Uhhh we also grocery shopped and contacted and got five numbers today! which is pretty good for this companionship honestly. It's been good and now we're emailing :)

WEEK 47

I'm literally Lindsay Lohan


MONDAY 5 JUNE
So after I logged off last week, we went to visit our friend Bianca at work. She works at an eyeglasses store. Sora Nowjack bought sunglasses. Then since we had nothing to do we decided to go shop contacting. We went in a makeup store and started talking to the lady that works there. We asked her what makeup would work best for our faces. I was wearing no makeup that day and everything she said I was like dude I do that already so pretty much it was just a confidence boost to me that I actually DO know how to do makeup kind of a little bit. Whoo-hooo. After that we tried to go find a lady but she wasn't home. On our way home, I got a call from one of my former companions because she just needed to talk. Long story short, PLEASE keep her sister in your prayers. She's waiting for a heart/lung transplant, so send those good vibes her way 💕💕 When we got home that night, we decided to order pizza and pay with the money jars we found in our apartment. Sad thing: Domino's will only accept 10 lei in change at a time. So we payed with 10 lei in change and the rest in cash. Before we ate our pizza though, I PIERCED SORA NOWJACK'S EARS. Literally, we went totally Parent Trap with the apple and the ice and a needle and it was the most terrifying thing ever, but don't worry, she's fine and her ears are healing nicely :)

TUESDAY 6 JUNE
Tuesday we went to visit Sora Lature and we got her a Domino pizza again. Not Domino's pizza. Just Domino. It's this cheap junky place that a bunch of old guys hang out at at 10 in the morning and drink but the pizza is actually super good ha. After Sora Lature we limba studied at a bookstore and also did some other stuff I don't 100% remember and then we went to the church to plan English. English went OK and then we rushed to Piata Unirii to meet up with our STLs to do exchanges! Sora Andrus came to me in Panduri and Sora Nowjack went to Sora Schow in Mihai Bravu.

WEDNESDAY 7 JUNE
Sora Andrus and I went contacting with our district at Cismigiu park and we talked to some really cool older people. After that, we had lunch at pizza hut and it took FOREVER AND A DAY for them to bring our food so that was a little ridiculous. Sora Andrus and I comp studied at Starbucks and then visited Sora Sergentiu. I had a really good exchange. Sora Andrus is awesome. She's three transfers ahead of me and was in the MTC with my favorite person Sora Vann and I really enjoyed being comps with her :) After Sora NJ and I were back together, we went to a lesson with a girl named Carmen. She's super nice, but mostly interested in English. We also got offered jobs as professional English teachers on our way there and this girl would NOT take no for an answer. 

THURSDAY 8 JUNE
I was reeeeallly not feeling good on Thursday so we went to the church and language/comp studied until lunchtime and then just grabbed lunch at MegaImage. I had bread and hummus and water. Then we met up with Diana. It went really well. Then Mirela. It also went well. Then we went home early because I was still feeling icky.



FRIDAY 9 JUNE
District meeting! After DM we made tacos together. Elders vs. Sisters. Sisters won. Our tortillas were homemade and we used chicken instead of pork/beef mix. We won by a lot. Then we had a lesson with Ane and the other sisters. It was... interesting. Ane used to be a model but then she gained a lot of weight but on her dating profiles she still uses her old pictures so we witnessed a phonecall where she told a guy she was fat now and the pictures were a lie... it was weird.  We visited the Bogdan family with the elders and Ioana (the mom) made me do the cup song (which I do NOT do well lol) and she livestreamed it on facebook and told me I need to go on Romania's Got Talent. Uh. How bout no, lol. 

SATURDAY 10 JUNE
English! Our friend Diana is helping us teach. She's 17 and basically told us everything we're doing is wrong. Then we went over to her house and she had ice cream cake for us :) super yum. Then games night and Ane came! We played Minute to Win It games and it was fun. I also got to see one of my friends from Constanta, President Constantinescu! He taught the institute lesson. I miss that family. 

SUNDAY 11 JUNE
Church! It was good. Then we had lunch, weekly planned, and visited a member named Geta. Her grandson was there and he's so cute. He loves me. It was adorable. Also Sora NJ cut my hair! It's a little (okay, a lotttt) shorter than I wanted, but it's healthy now and  I guess it'll grow back :( she only chopped off like 3 or 4 inches, but I feel bald. Ah.

MONDAY 12 JUNE
Today I cut Sora Andrus' hair! That's the second haircut I've given on my mission. It turned out well. Then we grocery shopped and since we got fed a lot last week, we didn't need to get a lot of normal grocery stuff, so we splurged on cheddar cheese and stuff to make spring rolls. Oh my goodness I haven't had cheddar cheese in almost a year. and it was scuuuump. But it's white irish cheddar and I was in heaven. :) then we were at Sephora because there's this expensive perfume that I can't afford but LOVE so every time we pass Sephora I go spray it all over myself lol and a nice Sephora lady was like "wanna try this brow stuff" and did my brows for me and she was just super cute and nice. 

love y'all! Send me mail
