I love all of MLK’s quotes. So inspiring 😁❤️

Get ready for summer! Which background color should I change to? Deep ocean blue? Coral Twist? Or Pastel Purple? Votes must be in before May 20, 2024 to count! ~ Victoria

Definitely aqua, I agreed with my sis, @doggiechristmas that you should do aqua!

Deep ocean blue is a great summer color, plus it would match your eyes!

Tbh, I dont even know what those colors are but they sound cool.😂

Deep ocean blue sounds very summer-y. That's my vote!

Oooo, They all sound amazing! I think you should go with deep ocean blue!

Hmm, tough choice. Coral twist sounds good!

Ooooooh, I think you should do an aqua colour, it would look really nice with your dark hair!
