What a perfect day this was! And the Truck? Swoon Please enjoy this sneak peek from the sweetest bride and bridal party photographed by @hannahbaltaphotography #troyweddings #enjoytroy #troymakeup #troyhair #troybridal #troyny #upstatenewyork #upstate #albany #albanyweddings #albanymakeup #albanyhair
Another amazing road trip and a show with @voluptuousleah to see the AMAZING psychic @traviswarriorunicorn! Aside from the fact that he super talented and amazing at what he does, he’s genuinely the sweetest person and I want to adopt him into our weird little family. I can’t say enough good things about him. Stopped in Hartford at the @agave_ct for one of the best meals I’ve ever had! The tuna tacos and cilantro lime rice. #hartford #comedy #psychics #travishalp #ct #roadtrip #foodie
🌸 POV: You thought I vanished into the abyss… 🌸
Nope. Just out here healing, minding my business, and overthinking literally everything (a hobby at this point). 😂 But I’m BACK(ish) and ready to make you look ✨unreasonably good✨.

Nose update! 👃💗 Healing is going really well—swelling’s come down a lot and it’s starting to look more like me again (just a lil’ elevated 😌). Still a bit to go, but overall I’m feeling better each day. That said, I’m still stepping into things cautiously—especially when it comes to fumes and aerosols. I’ve learned the hard way that I’m super sensitive right now, so I’m keeping some service restrictions in place for now. What do you think of how it’s looking so far? Be nice, I’m still a little puffy 😅 #NoseUpdate #HealingJourney #PostOpGlow #StillSwollenStillCute #SensitiveAF #rinoplasty #septoplasty #nosesurgery #entsurgery #albanyent #albany #albanyny #upstateny #upstate
I am the worst updating social media I know….. 🗓️ 2 weeks post-op and my nose is still stiff, swollen, and feeling very unfamiliar. Getting used to a new nose is WILD. I keep catching my reflection like “wait… that’s me?” Haven’t even reset my Face ID yet… because same, phone. I don’t recognize me either. 😅📱 Still healing, still mouth-breathing, still riding the popsicle train 🍧 #2WeeksPostOp #NewNoseWhoDis #FaceIDStruggles #HealingIsWeird #StiffNoseEra #rinoplasty #septoplasty #nosejob #albanyent #entsurgery #deviatedseptum #deviatedseptumsurgery
Post-Op Update: One Week Later It’s officially been 7 days since surgery, and today’s the big follow-up—cast off, silicone molds out, and packing removed. 🙌 Still swollen, still can’t breathe through my nose yet, and the pain above my teeth and roof of my mouth hasn’t let up. But today’s a turning point (hopefully). I’m so ready to feel even a tiny bit of relief. Wish me luck as I head into the appointment—because this crusty, stuffed-up phase has been real. #OneWeekPostOp #NasalCollapseRecovery #FollowUpDay #LetMeBreathe #HealingIsAGrind #rinoplasty #albanyent #septoplasty #nosesurgery #albany #518 #upstateny
Tuesday One Week Post-Op! Headed to my surgeon follow-up today to finally get this cast, silicone molds, and packing out of my nose! 🙌 Wish me luck—can’t wait to breathe again (hopefully)! #OneWeekPostOp #NasalSurgeryJourney #CastOffDay #LetMeBreathe #WishMeLuck #rinoplasty #albanyent #entsurgery #nosereconstruction #nosesurgery #albanynosesurgeon
Post-Op Update: Monday Day 6 Six days post-op and tomorrow’s my first follow-up. 🙌 Still swollen, still can’t breathe through my nose, and still waking up with that awful, painfully dry mouth from mouth breathing all night. The pain now feels more concentrated above my teeth and in the roof of my mouth—right near the incision area. It’s uncomfortable and makes sleep even harder. Definitely counting down the hours to that appointment tomorrow (Tuesday). I’m so ready to have this checked out, cleaned up, and hopefully one step closer to healing. #Day6PostOp #NasalSurgeryRecovery #DryMouthDiaries #StillStuffed #ReadyForRelief #rinoplasty #nosejob #entsurgery #albanyent #rinoplastyalbany
Oops… forgot to post this update from Saturday! Still swollen, still stuffed, still a hot mess—but here’s a little real-talk from Day 4. Healing isn’t cute, but at least I documented it. If you’re just seeing this for the first time, scroll back a few you missed 5 days… 💕 #PostOpUpdate #Day4Recovery #RealTalkHealing #BetterLateThanNever #rinoplasty #entsurgery #ent #albanyent
