Hello my beautiful Belles!! Happy Week Seven! I am so happy we had a three-day weekend, and all my midterms were done. I really just got to rest, read, watch the new season of Bridgerton with my mom, watch Doc with my parents, use my projector, and play video games with my brother. Lots of very fun things that I needed to reset. I hope you all had a wonderful three-day weekend as well! The weekend prior, I went to see Iron Lung with my brothers, which was soo good. I got some cuddles from Leon, which is so healing, to be honest. I also went to Din Tai Fung for Annalyn’s birthday, and with nine of us, we spent $800😭 I guess we were hungry. At work, my peer and I matched Frog and Toad clothing and gave us little Valentine’s goodies, which were so sweet! Anyway, Annalyn and I are hosting a social this week on Thursday at Noodle St., but spots are limited! You should totally sign up! If you can’t make it, we are also hosting a social at ShareTea at 8:30 pm, and you’ll also get a fundraising credit👀ALSO, I am SO excited for Big/Little reveal this Friday!! It is going to be so much fun, and I can’t wait for my family to grow! As always, if you ever need anything, we are here for you!! Just reach out! Belle love always!! 🤍

Hello my dear, darling lovelies!
During one of my LA sessions, I was circling the room when BAM I walked into a floating upper cabinet and ofc it was when no one was talking and everyone heard the cabinet doors shaking. And then I woke up with a bruised shoulder… Anywoozals my roommate and I melted dark chocolate chips with our candle warmer and then dipped strawberries in it and put it in the freezer. We then enjoyed our chocolate strawberries while watching dance moms and it was beautiful. I also had a lovely long weekend at my great aunt’s house and enjoyed all the family time. I hope your weekend was lovely!
Anyways, reach out anytime for anything, Belles related or not 🩷

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and as always please reach out if you need anything.

Hi guys! Happy week 7! This past week I enjoyed Galentines with some of my friends and did a super fun dance cardio class at JWC. This weekend I’ve gotten to go out a few times which has been amazing and also my older sister is visiting me! It has been so nice having her here because she graduated from UCLA last year and I miss going to school with her. I have some midterms coming up so now I need to start locking in unfortunately. I hope you all have a lovely week!
Keep signing up for workshops and if you emailed me I will respond soon with details about a make up workshop!
