📱 Scam calls are getting sneakier — even showing up as 207 or 603 numbers. The FBI just released a list of phone numbers tied to major scam attempts and says you should block them right now.

Have you been getting more of these spam calls lately? How do you handle them?

Some see it as a kind gesture, others say it’s risky. What do you think — helpful or annoying?

Re-uniting with my radio mentor, at her annual Cans 4 A Cure 🎀 fundraiser with felt exactly the way you’d think it would.

Positivity leaked out of every one of her listeners who came back to hear her on the mic one more time. It felt surreal, emotional, and all around just fun.

Authentically community-based, Cans makes supporting women a FUN time l. That’s exactly everything Lori achieved today for yet another successful year trying to kick cancer’s ass with the help of Mainer’s near and far.

Wrapping up today was an all around beautiful event to share with Maine as we continue to fight this evil disease together.

Thank you for over $70k, thank you for being a part of the fight, and thank you Lori for showing us what it looks like to use platforms for good things💕

P.s thanks for always letting me grab your girls on Can days. It’s only right. Xo

Well done Lori, Lizzy, & Jeff.

You have to literally plan when your next fill is before you make the fun lil decision to do holiday nails. IYKYK. Too early and they’ll be a waste, but perfect timing during the middle of the month will get you to Halloween without needing a fill hehe😅🎃

HOW CUTE ARE THESE THOUGH?!

I’ve never been a design on your nails girly although I love the girlies that have the strength to, so this is totally out of my comfort realm, which is also why I had to do it🎃👻💀💅🏼
