Hello my lovely Belles! This week has been super busy with recruitment, but I think we’ve been getting a lot of interest in our org, which is absolutely FANTASTIC! Also super weird, my roomies and I have been having like really bad luck this past week, which is so strange. I am praying that this week, the bad luck ends. Class-wise, my professors seem like absolute sweethearts, and I am genuinely so excited for this quarter. The classes also seem fairly easy, so hopefully I won’t get too slammed with homework and reading this quarter. My work schedule also picks up this week, which I’m a little nervous about😬 but all will be fine. Hopefully you all have been having a great Week 1 and hopefully classes aren’t stressing you out too much. Just a reminder! If you ever need anything, we are here for you!! Just reach out! Belle love always!! 🤍

Hello my beautiful Belles!
I hope all is going well for you all! For those of you who love my blender take a look at the action shot. I made an almond milk, peanut butter, strawberry, and banana smoothie. YUM. (fear not- I went into the lounge on the ground floor to make sure I didn’t wake anyone at 8AM)
More happy thoughts wise, I’m so excited to volunteer with Miles for Melanoma at Griffith Park (maybe I’ll see Ryan Gosling??) and I’m having a Harry Potter movie night this weekend so I'm stoked for that.
I can’t wait to see you all, reach out anytime for anything, belles related or not 🩷

Hi my lovely Belles!
I hope you all had an amazing first week back! I am beyond excited that rush is officially over and have spent the past week trying to catch my breath, So many of my friends celebrated their birthday this past week so I was booked and busy with that, I watched DWTS with Natalia and Natalie, and I attended the football game (though it was impossible to stay past half time…)
Belle love,
Alex

Workshops!
Hi guys!! Happy week 2 wow wow wow! This week we will be having our first workshop on Wednesday from 3 - 4 at my apartment. Address is 430 Kelton, apartment 309. I have room for 5 belles and the workshop should only take about 30-45 minutes. I hope to see you all there.
. Hi lovely Belles! I hope you all had a great week 1. This past week one of my lovely friends visit me for a night and brought cake so that was awesome. Also my roommates and I have been obsessed with horror movies recently - we watched hereditary for the first time and it was so scary we couldn’t sleep after. I also cooked chicken in my apartment for the first time but then got grossed out and spent an hour cleaning and wiping everything in sight. Salmonella fears me.
