New piano version of Yellow (2012) - Coldplay
I attend Aveda Institute Houston (owned by Aveda Institutes South) and have been going to the night program. Not because it’s easy—because it’s not. Not because I don’t long to be close to my family, friends, and boyfriend who all live two hours away, because I do…I am doing it because I want a better life for my family and a career that sustains my happiness.

familiar spirits is hitting a bookshelf near you!
Familiar Spirits by Cody Underwood My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was once told to grab your audience with the first sentence, and “Familiar Sprits” does just that. Opening the book feels slightly like walking into a private conversation in the most intimate of moments—you know you shouldn’t be listening but what you’ve heard is too juicy to turn away and if you did,...
