A Belated Introduction

Hello Vingle community, my name is Steve. Photography and photo editing are my passions, and I have a deep appreciation and love for art in all of it's many forms. For fun I like playing videogames, binge watching TV shows, enjoying a good movie (or a bad one), reading, writing, hiking, kayaking, walking, going out to get food with friends, taking pictures with my friends, going to the movies and discussing it afterwards, and plenty of other fun stuff. I'm pretty much down for anything except a wild party, or drinking. But if someone wants to take me skydiving I'm totally willing to... politely decline. Unless I'm madly in love with them, then I'd probably do it. Life hasn't been without it's challenges, or pain, but I keep going every day in hope of actually figuring it out. I'm weird, sappy, stoic, and very much a goof, hopefully I'll fit in well here. You all have certainly helped me to feel very welcome. @shannonl5 @VinMcCarthy @danidee @LAVONYORK And many others, Thank you!

Lavender Lemonade Can Help Reduce Anxiety!
It hasn't been easy for me to reduce my anxiety naturally, and lately I've found a lot of comfort in Lavender and lavender scented things. Essential oils and aroma therapy in general can work wonders on people with a lot of anxiety. I use lavender the most, it helps me sleep, it keeps my brain calm and it soothes my anxiety. I've only had Lavender Lemonade a handful of times, but I've loved it each time! Here's the recipe: For one pitcher of this awesome drink all you need to do is mix these ingredients together: 12 cups of water 15 drops of Lavender essential oil two teaspoons of honey 6 lemons, squeezed and added to the mix And 4 teaspoons of sugar, of course you can add more depending on how sweet you like it. And there you have it! An easy anxiety reducing drink that'll cost less than 3 dollars to make. You can find essential oils at your grocery store or www.doterra.com

Me, When I Make Food From A Box
This is one of the reasons my phone camera is my best friend. Does this ever happen to you guys when you try cooking too?
Wait For It.
Wouldn't Batman be much more amusing if Bruce Wayne acted like a real bat? But then again, if every superhero acted like the animal they're named after, Robin would bounce every November and come back randomly several months later. And what kind of sidekick would THAT be?
What Was Your All-Time Favorite 90s Show?
Is it bad that I totally remember when dresses like this were super trendy? They've even got those tattoo chokers! Anyway, if I had to pick ANY 90s show as my absolute favorite, I probably would pick Salute Your Shorts. ZZ Ziff was my childhood spirit animal. How about you guys?
