Happy Week 3! Applications have been turned in, and it is officially deliberation season! You all will get to meet the Baby Belle’s so so soon!

In terms of this week’s catchup there sadly is not much BUT it was definitely an “eventful” one! My fav British gal made me dinner because she knew I am on a strict diet, and it was FIRE. Picture below for reference, like ok chef time to go to England tg. Had B-plate omelet for the first time and it was bomb. Went Halloween shopping and 1/3 outfits secured. The not so fun news is I went to the ER last Tuesday for extreme chest pain, so liv laugh love ig, but got to go home and was excused from classes until this Tuesday, so lowkey WIN. Manifesting an even cooler week this week. Love ya’ll!

hello my angels :) happy week three :) hoping the cooler forecast this week holds. again, i have been a very busy bee, and sadly my ballet class was canceled last week because of wooden closure. i also discovered that i’m allergic to the chairs in one of my lecture halls, which is deeply uncool but maybe sort of funny? i have a perfect copy of the pattern of rolfe hall’s upholstery on my shoulders… 

in other news, econ 41 and 101 are going suspiciously well so far. i keep waiting to be completely confused but it actually hasn’t happened yet (i probably just jinxed it oops). i also had lunch with emer on tuesday and twin on wednesday, so lots of belles time this week. i’m super looking forward to ace of hearts this weekend and nourishLA the next because i am a huge volunteering nerd duh 

song of the week is ‘as’ by stevie wonder! If you’ve never heard, you def need to change that – link to song here

←not a new pic but i miss my dad so this is my vibe. do we look alike?

Hello my lovelies! Happy week 3 :)! This past week was another busy one which is no surprise to anyone, especially me. But I had SO much fun at the Bruno Mars concert on Wednesday with my friend/coworker Janet. Dancing is always the solution to everything, I fear. And your girl def lost her voice from screaming for two hours straight. The guy next to us was feeling all the heartbreak songs. Which would be like, go off, king ig? Anyway, I also just attended craft night w/ Leah and Aasha, and I am officially not taking off my bracelet for at least the next week. 

Also, recruitment was such a fun time, I have no doubt you all will love meeting our new belles as much as I loved talking with them. They remind me so much of all of you: sweet, selfless, and always ready to have a great time. I’m so ready to start this next chapter of belles :). Of course, text or call if you need anything like ever. 

Much love,

Lexie <3

HI BELLES!! SECRET OF THE WINGS THEME WHAT DO WE THINK!?! I’m having a lot of fun with these themes if you can’t tell. Open to any all recs of themes for the upcoming weeks hehe.  This week was another really busy one but trying to be hashtag grateful for that. I get to cat sit my friend’s little kitty Ponyo which I have enjoyed immensely. I also had the lovely Stephanie, Alexa, and Dannon over for cookie making!!! Found out I am nawt the best at baking (aka a little crispy burnt) but also my airfryer oven literally baked the cookies in 4 minutes so… is that normal… anyways… OPEN HOUSE WAS THE MOST FUN EVER I loved everyone I met!! I remember being so nervous and excited for open house last year, so it was a very full circle moment to meet the potential baby belles and be the one welcoming them. I feel so old. I recently got an email to schedule my cap and gown photo session and wow the thought of that really made me gag. YUCK. no thank you. I want to stay forever!!!

Belle love 4evaaaa,

Hi my lovely belles,

Last week I had a super amazing time with host Lizzy Wizzy to bake these super yummy and toasty (no pun intended if ykyk) cookies for a fundraising x social event.

I was at open house for like two hours-ish, and i got to talk to wonderful POTENTIAL baby belles. Guys let me tell you to be super excited for them because they are extremely passionate for Belles ANDDD the people in belles as well. Can’t wait for belles beginnings hehehehehe

Guys midterm season is upon the rise, and im really scared for my philosophy midterm since its philosophy and what if they ask “what is the meaning of life” like LOLLL I DON’T KNOW crying face emoji

Belles love forever and ever and always

Hi my loves!

Last week was honestly very chill, and I’m getting better at cooking, which is so extra fantabualwesome. I made mushroom, spinach, cherry tomato, shrimp, pesto pasta for dinner, and it was actually incredible, especially as it involved under 15 mins of me tossing random stuff I had in the fridge in a pan. I’ve decided that I like cooking.

For those invested in my random roommate updates: one of the questionable ones said “hey,” and I was floored. Seriously, so caught off guard. But then the one that used to occasionally talk to me has now not responded to me 3 times soooo you win some & you lose some. I’m getting good at standing up for myself tho, so yay?

I’ve been spending lots of time with Belles, which brings me so much happiness and joy, and open house was very cool! We will have new babies so soon… Good luck going into pre-midterm/midterm territory!! I believe in you.

OH AND ALSO SIGN UP FOR MY DEI X SOCIAL MOVIE NIGHT YAY

Belle love forever and ever and always,

Natalia

Hello hello!

This week the heat has really sucked my energy for side quests out of me. Despite my lack of time in the outdoors, the bugs have managed to eat me alive! However, onto fun things. Project Angel Food was such a fun experience, highly recommend. I have also gotten to catch up with many friends this week and will be venturing to the Grove soon for some retail therapy. Once the heat dies down, I will be back to serenity and I’m sure volunteering with the puppies this weekend will help too. Stay cool and drink plenty of water!
