January❄️
Joined ClassPass and discovered a love for hot yoga—truly one of the best decisions (not sponsored, just obsessed lol). Honestly, I’m so grateful for this choice. I had no idea at the time how much I’d come to love @ClassPass , but it’s been amazing to get me out of the house when I’m home, but also incredible when traveling and exploring new places. February🍸 Celebrated my birthday with simple joys like visiting cozy cafes and wandering the aisles of @IKEA USA . March📸 After dreaming for five years, I finally got my dream camera! It felt surreal and such a big step in my social media journey April🌸 I was invited to my first event to visit the opening of the @Sézane store in DC. My mom and I decided to use this opportunity for a little girls trip to Georgetown. It seems small, but so grateful for this first opportunity. May☀️ Enjoyed the sunshine and celebrated my mom’s birthday. June✈️ FINALLY abroad. I traveled to Europe for a month, spending a few weeks alone in Portugal, where I spent a week working with the incredible team in Porto. I celebrated São João— an unforgettable night of festivities, a maybe had too much fun hitting people in the head with plastic hammers. Myriam visited for a long girls weekend filled with non-stop cafe-hopping, and then I headed to Germany with my family to celebrate my cousin’s wedding! July🇳🇱 I made a quick trip to Amsterdam and felt an immediate sense of belonging—it felt like coming home. After a brief return to the U.S., I boarded a plane back to Amsterdam for a two-month stay. August🫂 Connection and community. I met the most incredible people, celebrated Pride, and took my first Amsterdam boat ride. Saturdays were spent at the market, and I explored countless new cafes and restaurants. Amsterdam felt like pure magic. September🧺 My last month in Amsterdam was bittersweet, filled with market days, cafe hopping, and precious time with the most amazing people. I tried paddleboarding for the first time, made memories I’ll cherish forever, and capped the month by chopping my hair after returning home. October🍂 Attempting to adjust to life at home, embracing the slower pace of fall. It was a month of reflection and gratitude for cozy autumn days. November🇬🇧 I couldn’t stay away from Europe, so I took a trip to London. It was wonderful to be back after studying there, and seeing the Christmas celebrations for the first time felt magical. I reunited with old friends, made new ones, and finally checked attending a supper club off my bucket list @TÊTE-À-TÊTE SUPPER CLUBS December🐾 This month was all about cozy days at home. Kept Christmas celebrations simple yet cozy. I’m so grateful for the opportunities I had this year. This year has taught me that everything truly happens in its own good time. ♥️ I’m grateful for the connections I’ve made this year and finding a place where I feel a genuine sense of community. I’m so excited to see what 2025 holds ✨
