Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty


The margarita is one of Mexico's most beloved gifts to the world, bringing people together with its lively blend of sweet, sour, and salty flavors. While its exact origin is still part of a friendly debate, there is no question that Mexico's rich culinary traditions and world famous tequila helped create a drink that has become a favorite across the globe. If you have only enjoyed an ordinary margarita, you may be missing the fresh flavors and vibrant character that have made this classic a lasting favorite.

There is also an interesting story behind its rise in popularity. During Prohibition, many Americans illegally crossed into Mexico to smuggle alcohol for a taste. Today, the margarita remains one of the most popular mixed drinks in the United States, and every glass offers a little taste of Mexican warmth and celebration. 

What is the best margarita you have ever enjoyed, and where did you discover it?

🩷 Do you ever use creativity to make sense of difficult moments? 🩷

I recently chatted with Bold Journey to talk about art, resilience, childhood sketchbooks, finding beauty in difficult moments, and why I'm still figuring life out as I go.

It ended up being a surprisingly personal conversation, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my story.
