10th Tribe Lioness

Thanks to Demi Rueda for the photos!

I was so stoked when I got in 10th Tribe's limited edition Violent Youth Beanie, that I texted Demi immediately to do a shoot showcasing it. It is the most perfect beanie. Paired with my Unif shorts and JC's with knee highs made for the perfect match. Demi also said that I let out my inner lioness during this shoot. Fierce. Haha.

So things have been crazy for me lately. I have two days left of school I graduate Saturday. I have my state board test to get my license April 3rd. This weekend was spent with Phinehas who crashed with me before their show at Victory Cafe on Tuesday.

Ended up having to transfer half their gear in my car while their van was out of commission.






































Officially ending this school in Phase Two, Paul Mitchell's honor program. This rose that looks like the piranha plants in all the Mario games proves it.




































However though, I came home from school today with a low grade fever. Let's pray that I can kick this tonight and don't wake up feeling worse in the morning. I only have two days of school left, I don't want to push back my grad date any more!

Hope you all are doing well.

Adventures In Lemoore

Here's some more from my adventures in Lemoore with Mariaya the other day. Let's just say the second half of this adventure got funnier. My bare behind in her car while making a wardrobe change on the side of the road right as a cop drives by. Stopping for snacks afterward, and me twisting my foot and bruising it. What's funny is that I hurt my foot walking into a Fresh 'N Easy... Now while I was busy climbing this tree for these shots like you'd think. Typical Maddie move. 

This seriously has to be one of my favorite locations though. Being able to climb up a tree and have this much room to move around and not worry about falling is awesome. Getting to look out over the horizon from so high above the ground. No to mention the gorgeous sunset that evening. Then driving back home singing Savage Garden at the top of our lungs. Perfection.





































It was a good day. Also. Listen to this. \m/

InstUpdate

Gorgeous Fresno sunset.

Ready to take off for LA.

My sleeping situation while staying at my friend Lacey's for the night. Sleeping bag from third grade, no joke.

Spent way too much money here.

Went to see my friends in Wolves play at Cobalt Cafe.


Retaliating because Mike likes to take bad photos of me.


Stealing hats//Sean is metal even in his sleep.//Phinehas' new EP dropped today!

Truffles is glad to have her mama back home.

Spent the weekend down in SoCal to visit a couple of people close to me. Spent Saturday night and half of Sunday in LA with my lovely friend Lacey. Spent way too much money and ate too much food. Then Sunday night headed out to Canoga Park to see some friends at their show. After that, headed out to La Mirada to spend time with Sean. Which, by the way, his band, Phinehas' new EP, The Bridge Between, dropped today! Pick it up on iTunes here. Such genuine guys and genuine music. They're also heading out to record their next full length next month. 

This weekend did not work out anywhere near how I wanted it to. It was honestly more stressful than anything. Panic attacks a good majority of Sunday, and just a lot of us were pretty stressed out about things. But regardless, I'm glad I got to spend some time with the people I did. It's a whole lot better than nothing, and for that, I am grateful.

There has been so much going on the past couple months. I feel like some things are falling apart, other I am completely clueless on, and I think a lot of us have forgotten what we stand for and why we're even here to begin with. I've noticed some huge changes within myself the past month or so. I've gotten a whole lot closer to God. I'm starting to grow up and mature a lot. I realized how prideful I am, and gave that up. I know what I want, what I need to be. I need to learn to be at peace with my current situation, and trust that things will work out the way they are supposed to in God's timing. I need to slow down my though process. I overthink and overanalyze, and I forget that I can't read minds. I always assume things, when really, I forget I have no idea what other people are thinking and feeling. I stress myself out more than need be. It's almost an obsessive thought process. I need to work on this. Worrying and stressing myself out isn't going to do me or anyone else any good. Perhaps I've done all I can for right now, and need to accept that. Maybe it's not my turn to make the next move. Maybe I need to wait things out, and let them happen on their own. All of this is very hard for me to do. I don't like not being able to be in control. Uncertainty scares me. But I can't really do anything about that, except trust that God knows what's He's doing. Things will work out one way or another. He's watching over me and taking care of me. I need to remember this more than ever, and quit breaking myself down like I have been. It's a problem. 

Prayers and positive thoughts are more than welcome.

Christmas Weekend Via Instagram/Another Music Video

Outside of our house. We're one of the obnoxious houses.

Getting ready for Kuppajoe's 15 Year Anniversary Show!


Phinehas killing it at Kuppajoe's 15th Show!


Sean and I hanging out.

Truffles trying to protect me from the boys, haha.


Got in my Lime Crime "Mint To Be" lipstick!

Christmas Eve dinner with my dad's side of the family!

It's a yearly tradition for my sister and I to go through the presents and try to guess what we've gotten after our parents go to bed.


The cats getting into everything, and my dad playing on his new Wii U.

So this entire past weekend has been awesome. Friday night Kuppajoe had it's 15 Year Anniversary show. I'm so happy that the place has been around for so long, and it still running and well. It's my second home, and I've met some of my closest friends through it. My good friends in Phinehas played the show, and I'm so honored they did. One of the few bands that I fully support with all I have. They're a huge blessing every time they're in town. Really talented and sweet guys. They're also releasing a new EP, entitled "The Bridge Between" within the next couple of months. Check out their newest track from the EP below.



Christmas Eve was spent with my dad's side of the family. It was actually a really good time (I don't always get along real well with extended family, so this was quite the blessing in itself). Christmas day it was just the four of us (my parents and sister) for most of the day, and some of our long time friends came by for the big feast. It's been a really good Christmas actually. 

I hope you all have had a wonderful one as well!
