It's Christmas Eve! That means it's time for Farolito walk in Santa Fe! I am learning about New Mexican culture and it is absolutely magical.✨
Happy Holidays!!

Woke up to my bedroom window screens glowing orange. I have never experienced a sunrise so spectacular and surreal. I have a feeling this is normal for the land of enchantment 😂
Every day I find something enchanting in Santa Fe for sure! What a way to start a Monday 🌄

I'm cleaning my photo storage & found pics of a baby owl my parents brought home when I was in high school! Baby owl fell off a tree & stayed w/ us for a little bit before regaining strength & flying off. It stayed with a resident pigeon mom. It was hilarious cuz baby owl was the same size as the pigeon mom and she was SO protective of baby owl! I hope baby owl grew up well and is having a nice owly life somewhere :)
All owl species fall under wildlife protection in India! Don't capture em!

Sometimes I have a hard time believing that amazingly cool humans like Dr. Nina Lanza and Dr. Patrick Gasda are my mentors🤯 How on Earth/Mars did I even get here?! The journey would have definitely been harder without the exceptional mentors I had. It is a new start in a fabulous city with some of the best humans. Thank you for the snazzy PhD bracelet, Nina. And thank you Santa Fe for introducing me to spicy Mocha with an option of green/red/Xmas chile! ☕🌶️
I am PSYCHED to be here!

It's my first day in New Mexico! The arrival didn't quite go as I expected. I thought I'll arrive here with @systempk but unfortunately he couldn't board the flight because of mistimed work visa issues :(. It felt heartbreaking and scary as I flew off with an empty seat next to me but Alex made the most level headed decisions at a stressful time💪
For now I'm enjoying the clear blue skies, nice coffee & our quaint airbnb! Get here safely, Alex. Sending good vibes ✨🌞

I was in the mood to sharpen my makeup skills and @systempk was an amazing sport for being the ideal guinea pig. Might I add what a FABULOUS guinea pig ,✨😌💄💁

It's @systempk 's birthday today 🎈🎂but unfortunately we are in the middle of a move and surrounded by boxes 📦📦🫠🫠😅😅.
We can't wait to be DONE with moving 🥲🥲
Alex, let's get some cake later 😌🍰✨
