Outside of that, one of my favorite hobbies is baking! I genuinely just love food (LOL), and there’s something so calming about spending time in the kitchen. Lately, I’ve been into making sourdough bread, even though it doesn’t always turn out perfect, I love the process and the challenge.

Bubbles is basically a professional cuddler with a dramatic flair. She’s a total lovebug, but only on her terms. Her favorite toys include a tiny fuzzy sushi roll and a small floppy fish. She carries them around like trophies and occasionally drops them in my shoes as "gifts." She’s incredibly food motivated and acts like she hasn’t eaten in three lifetimes every morning at exactly 6am. Her dislikes include fire alarms, the sound of trash bags, and not being the center of attention. Her favorite hobbies include staring dramatically out the window and judging me from across the room.

Transferring to a bigger school was hands down one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It opened up new opportunities, helped me meet more people, and gave me the fresh start I didn’t know I needed.

After graduating, I moved to Ann Arbor and honestly, I’ve fallen completely in love with it. The energy here is amazing, the people are incredibly kind, and the town itself is beautiful. It’s been such a refreshing change of pace, and I’ve really found a sense of independence and inspiration here.

To be completely honest, just a couple of months ago, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I felt stuck and unsure, like I was just waiting for some kind of sign. Then I started learning more about the self-care and wellness world and realized this is what I love. Helping people feel good, taking care of themselves, finding peace and confidence.

So now, I’m taking that passion and turning it into something real. I’m starting esthetician school this fall (so exciting!), and at the same time, I’m working toward my associate’s degree. After that? Who knows.
