Or you can screen shot and use this link: https://bit.ly/42x6FZs Not only do I love the look and feel of this thing, but daisies always remind me of my college/early post grad alter ego, Daisy Buchanan. 🤣 Sometimes I’d go with Penny Lane, then *other* times I’d swap it up with Penny Buchanan or Daisy Lane, just for fun! Did anyone else use an inaccurate name back in the day? There were just sometimes when I really didn’t want that weirdo at Club Fire to know who I actually was, ya know? 🔥😂 I hope you’re having a WONDERFUL week!! Xo!
