Well… someone just got even more gorgeoser. Celeste, are you talking to me?

That was the message that came with my Booie goodies and honestly, I felt seen. Thank you, Celeste and Booie beauty.

Ten minutes.
Shower → Booie → studio.
Because why choose when you can put everything on at once.

✔ Bring Back the Brush my perfect brows tinted, tamed and behaving
✔ Bam Bam Bam can't get enough of lip, cheek, eye possibly my whole New World.
✔ You’re Welcome Tubular Mascara lashes doing the most, zero smudge
✔ Bloody Delicious Hydrating Tinted Illuminator m, did you see my glow? glowing like I’ve slept (I haven’t)
✔ Where the hell is my? nourished lipstick will be on my lips later at my Glam luncheon 💋

Fast face. Out the door.
And I will still be feeling put together hours later.

I am officially a Booie babe and very proud to be part of Celeste’s gorgeous family.

Alas Celeste, why is it called Booie?
Because it feels more like a YAY to me.

Either way consider this the start of a love affair 💋

Today I received my very first pledge on Substack.
My first payment ever as a writer.

Daniela, I am deeply grateful.
Grateful for your pledge, for your beautiful words, and for seeing me as a writer.
And so grateful that our paths crossed, and that I had the privilege of meeting you.

This feels like a quiet but powerful milestone.
A gentle yes from the universe that the words matter.
That sharing them is worth it.

Meeting you is one of the unexpected gifts The Golden Bachelor brought into my life,
and this moment is one I’ll always hold close. 🩷

Today I’m holding space for the innocent lives lost.

I don’t see sides.
I see people.

Day 4 of 10 things you might not know about me

Some of the most important chapters of my life
started with a decision that scared me.

Saying yes has never been about recklessness.
It’s been about trust.

And I’ve never regretted trusting myself.

Yesterday’s reel sparked a lot of conversation.
It raised questions about love, timing, and being asked to say words before they’re truly felt.

I’ve sat with that, reflected, and written more about it, continuing the conversation about love and timelines.

The full piece is now live on Substack.

Link in bio. I would love for you to have a read.

Here’s my latest Substack piece

Continuing the conversation about love and timelines.

It came from a moment in South Africa that lasted minutes but sparked a much bigger conversation about honesty, timing, and trusting yourself.

The link in the story also takes you to the Instagram post that started it all.

I began a conversation recently on social media around one particular moment.

12/12/2025

I was open to love.
I was open to a relationship.
I just didn’t believe that saying or not saying the word “love” at six weeks should be the deciding factor.

What's your thoughts?

Day 3 — I’m a lover of food

and I don’t share it with just anyone.
But my granddaughter?
She can have my last mouthful every single time.

Some loves run deeper than appetite.

Who’s the one person YOU would share your last bite with?

Day 2 - I’ve Been Writing Since I Was 13

I wrote my first poem when I was 13 years old.
It’s still somewhere in my garage… tucked in a dusty box with old schoolbooks and little remnants of who I was back then.

Writing has always been my way of making sense of life, tiny stories, memories, feelings, all poured out onto a page long before I ever shared them with anyone.

I had no idea that one day I’d be writing openly, honestly, and from the heart,
and that so many of you would be here reading along with me.

Thank you for being part of this little journey. I'll see you tomorrow for day 3 🩷

Things You Didn’t Know About Me

Day 1

If you don’t like animals, we probably won’t be friends.

It’s just who I am.
Animals are my soft spot, my happy spot, my heart spot.

They’ve been part of my life since I was a little girl,
and somehow every chapter of my life seems to come with a furry soul beside me, including Bingo in my arms right now.

Do you remember Bear asking me about the tattoo on my arm on The Golden Bachelor?
That tattoo is for the little dog in the photo above my head, my boy Ruffy.

This is Day 1 of 10 little things you might not know about me.

Short, simple, real.

I hope you enjoy this little series, and I’ll see you tomorrow for Day 2 💛
