Things about me ( My Hobbies)
These are some of my hobbies and things I have grown to love. Dancing is also a way I like to stay moving and happy. My dog is a french bull named Rider and he loves going on walks it's a way for both of us to bond and stay active. I have always loved being outside ever since I was kid,surprisingly I have never been camping but would love to go! I enjoy doing things like hiking,kayaking,going to the lake and fishing. Who doesn't love food let alone new fun food! Fashion and beauty like makeup is a way people can express themselves and how you can tell what kind of person they are. You can feel like a million bucks just from something simple like a new haircut or an outfit.
