#IChooseBeauty Day 2038

by

Had a long talk with my dear friend @kathleenmascarenas AKA my “twin.” ‍♀️ (Why don’t we FaceTime more??!) Fun Fact: when we both worked as reporters at the same TV station a thousand years ago, people would get us mixed up. 🤔 So... sometimes we’d mess with them and pretend to be each other. 🤣 I mean, we don’t really look alike (except for the brown skin and hair), so it just turned into our little joke. Love you so much, my “twin.” ️ #ichoosebeauty Day 2038
