desertrose

I am a 22 year old Florida girl who loves creative projects, traveling, and writing.

🌱 Gardening is a brand new hobby I am getting into. With all this down time, I've built a raised garden bed, grown a dozen veggies from seeds, and am currently working on a desert rose bonsai.

🌸 My interests: fitness, nature, skin/hair care, reading, flowers, DIY, discovering new places in town, anything crafty, tea, ice cream, candles, and miniature items lol

🗣 Languages: English, Spanish, learning American Sign Language. I would love to learn Arabic and Japanese. These cultures fascinate me.

☕️ Tea: Favorite is mint, Earl Grey, or Oolong; I prefer a leaf on the sweeter side but what's most important are the medicinal properties. Anything that's good for my body sounds perfect to me. Getting edible blooming flowers for tea soon!

❤️ Self-love books such as Milk and Honey are my favorite

🎇 Cheesy romantic novels like Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks

🖋 Modern poetry, A Facebook Sonnet

⚙️ How-to books, I love finding out how things work, like engineering. Historical tales are very profound and often offer explanation for society unlike anything else. I would love to learn more about Egypt.

🥘 Food is literally a passion and learning how to make healthy, balanced meals can be hell without cookbooks, yes we still use those. Nothing is better than physical copy. If I ever use my phone for a recipe, consider it lost.

✝️ Spiritual growth, the Bible is my source of wisdom. Reading about others' testimony is empowering. I am a Christian with compassion and accept everyone. I don’t run with a “church crowd” but hope to make a difference outside of it.

🏰 To escape my endless thoughts, diving into a good fiction book can save the day. The Glass Castle is pure gold. The Outsiders has always and forever will be my favorite novel.

•A Walk To Remember, a tragic romance

•Material Girls, with my girl Hilary Duff!!

•Sweet Home Alabama, romance too

•Fences, Denzel Washington plays the lead role and directs it. About life lessons for parents and decisions..so good

✂️ Craft: I am not even slightly a good artist but enjoy painting and drawing simple things, adore paper crafts like origami. Putting together care packages are my specialty!

Currently watching: Anne With An E, Designated Survivor, and That's So Raven

Drama and Political plots intrigue me the most but I am interested in various categories. Money Heist, The Witcher, Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, Breaking Bad, and The Vampire Diaries are shows I can watch endlessly.

The Office and New Girl are my favorite comedy series'.

The Haunting of Hill House was one of the best shows I've ever seen but it comes from my least favorite, horror.

Learning series are the ones I follow the most.
