Hello beautiful Belles!! Happy Week 6!! The weeks are now flying by and that is making me VERY scared. I feel like the quarter has been flying by, but I also feel like last week was SO long. By Tuesday, I thought it was already Friday😭On the brighter side, Mr. Bone’s Pumpkin Patch was so much fun!! I was able to get two little pumpkins, which are just the cutest. I also got to pet an owl, which is such a unique experience. BUT the owl turned his head and tried to bite me, which scared me, but the lady said it was close to his dinner time. 🤷🏽♀️I hosted a Halloween cookie social last week and that was a lot of fun and very yummy! ALSO, Halloween is here!!! I had so much fun dressing up with my roommates, we were party animals! I dressed as a leopard, and I actually impressed myself with how my makeup came out. I also ran into Juliette, which was such a lovely surprise!! I hope you all had a fun but safe Halloween and Halloweekend! As always, just a reminder! If you ever need anything, we are here for you!! Just reach out! Belle love always!! 🤍

Week 6 already?!?! That is so not okay. The year is flying by way faster than i’d like but I also am so grateful for all the amazing memories so far. The pumpkin patch was so fun! I didn’t get to go last year so I was so hyped to be there and hangout with everyone, especially the Baby Belles that went! I also went to go see Sombr because all my roommates were going and the ticket was literally $22. I only knew a few songs but loved the night out regardless! Also had a midterm this week, and although I did not study as much as I should have, I don’t think I failed it so….win?? Also got to see some Belles this Halloween and dressed up as a character I’ve been wanting to do for years…can you guess it? ANYWAY wishing everyone a wonderful second half of the quarter and please enjoy my quote of the week:
“Everything I lose creates space for everything I need.”

Hello my dear, darling lovelies!
I hope all is well with you! Baby Belles - if we haven’t met yet, I want to meet you! Come to the clay night Juliette and I are hosting this week! For non-baby Belles, I also want to see you and miss you, so come to the clay night!
Last week was crazysauce with so many midterms and whatnot. Shoutout Ani for her warm presence as I gave my nerve-wracking Cluster 80 service learning presentation. I was miked up and ekkk. My roommates and I got a rug and I have been LOVING floor time. It's good for the soul. On Halloween, Natalie and I went out and spotted nine Belles I believe which were fun surprise sightings. And my parents came to visit on Saturday which was also good for the soul and so splendid. Plus, Juliette and I got into the holiday spirit at Trader Joe’s and I am reminded why I love the star cookies.
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 week and Halloween. I’m still drowning in midterms (4/7 done! HELP ME!!!), but love using Belles as my escape from school for some productive procrastination. I meet DJ Rent Free this weekend which was so much fun but my roommate broke our fan so my room is colder than the Tundra right now. I guess you win some and lose some. However the cold room and leaves finally falling means that it finally feel like winter/autumn. I’d love to get to know all the Baby Belles better, so if you guys want to grab a PSL or watch a Christmas movie, just know I’m always down.
