It’s a beautiful day here in Northern California. The temperature is a pleasant 60 degrees (hoodie and flip flop weather-my favorite). The sun is shining, the sky is bright blue, and the mountains are just starting to turn green. But the best part is that the leaves on the trees are actually changing.

I took Copic: Skin Tones and Hair Color with La-La’s owner, Irina, and we got to use the new line for practice. While I was coloring, I noticed that an anonymous poster (who I strongly suspect is my mother) …
