I didn't plan to share this on social, but a conversation with my mentor last week really stuck with me, this piece in particular- "Own it and step into it. Any of your other male counterparts wouldn't hesitate to do so... just saying." She was right, so here I am OWNING IT!🤘
Thank you

Hosted my first livestream yesterday with Maya, an AMAZING local nail artist in Seattle. We celebrated the launch of the Sunkissed Vibes Special Edition Wireless Controller in partnership with OPI and had the best squad in chat. Look at these nails chat voted on too yesss 💅✨📸
Last Friday, my “Bop Bop”unexpectedly passed away.
I’ve been riding a rollercoaster of emotions and facing denial, all while trying to stay calm and strong for my family.
I have some massive shoes to fill, but I promise to make you proud and carry on your legacy & heart 🤍
Hard to believe it's been a year since we first used a chainsaw "tactically."

Friendly reminder to love and protect your skin- wear sunscreen, go in for your annual doctor visits, derm check ups, etc. Had a lil’ chunk of my back removed for a biopsy today just to be safe and rule any potential problems out. Take good care of yourself, fam✌🏼❤️

@Xbox
in August. I can’t wait to see you all again in person very soon 💚
“9/10: I adored almost every second of Psychonauts 2. It achieves something I don’t often see in games – a continual sense of awe as each of its worlds unfold. It took 16 years to reach release, but Double Fine has delivered an incredible sequel.”
Tell me it’s Thursday without telling me it’s Thursday, I’ll go first-
Missed my mouth completely while drinking a La Croix and now half of the can is on my lap. Yes, all of which was performed during a teams meeting with camera on. 10/10 Hailey, 10/10 😂

Another perfectly splendid day to be a Gears fan 🥳🥳🥳 YAY TEAM!
“Between Tactics and last year’s excellent Gears 5, it feels like the franchise is firing on all cylinders again.”
Anxiety is a scary thing- One minute you’re laughing, the next you might be hyperventilating, crying, screaming, heads between your legs and sweating profusely. I don’t get it. But the one thing I can tell you is, you’re not alone 👊🏼
I’m never much of a resolutions kind of gal, but here’s how I plan to tackle 2021 🤘🏼
1. put my mental health & happiness first
2. stop feeling guilty about saying “NO”
3. don’t look back, keep going
4. find my own definition of balance
5. tell my fam & my mains that I love them
