Shot a thing today, with an ACTUAL crew, and it is something I shall never take for granted ever ever ever again. I mean, there is NO WAY I could get curtain bangs to behave the way a professional HMU can get curtain bangs to behave. 🙏
Hello, here’s our new fridge!

Hello, yes it is true, I have created an Everything Paste that is comprised of but two ingredients: tomatoes and black garlic. It tastes like all of your umami dreams come true.
You can use

Spring Onion is the ultimate zombie veg. 🧟♀️
