Hello my beautiful Belles!! Happy Week Eight! This quarter genuinely flew by a little too quick and I am not happy about that. I need life to slow down because my heart cannot take it😭 Sunset Soiree was an absolute blast!! I had so much fun and was so excited to extend and grow my family!! I am so in love with the new Baby Belle additions, and finally become a grandbig so now I’m extra unc I fear. This weekend, my brother and I went to a concert on Saturday to see Ghost, which was so much fun! BUT after such a fun week, I fear I need lots and lots of sleep because I am soo tired. As always, if you ever need anything, we are here for you!! Just reach out! Belle love always!! 🤍

HELLO LOVES
I’m so hyped about my littles. I love them so much and I love how the family is growing :) I hope you all had a lovely big/little reveal. The social directors are so fabulous and awesomesauce. Also, you should try the peanut butter chewy coated and drizzled granola bar from Trader Joe’s because it’s so good and reminds me of childhood. 14D midterm is happening, which is not awesomesauce, but I will attempt to stay strong. Anyways, reach out anytime for anything, Belles related or not 🩷

Hi everyone! Happy week 8. I hope you all had a lovely week 7. These past few days I have been eating such good food! My roommate and I got hotpot and heytea and it was genuinely the best day of my life. I also had so much fun at FAM and got to relax afterwards with one of my high school friends who visited me for the weekend. Now I unfortunately have to lock back in for round 2 of midterms ugh.
Keep signing up for workshops and if you emailed me I will respond soon with details about a make up workshop!
