My Queen Grace is such a talented girly. Can’t believe how far we got in such a short amount of time.. all thanks to our Coach @quentindesezeeventing 🫶
Also thank you to my support, grooms, videographers @ridewithyass & @lenatraorr ❤️ (it really takes a village 😂)
Off to Amateur 2 for us in 2 weeks!🧑🩰🧑🩰
2025 was genuinely unhinged.
In March I got back into riding after a 12-year break like “just for fun 💅”
…and now it’s the end of the year and I somehow have TWO horses. Who approved this. 😭🐴🐴
And honestly the horse plot wasn’t even the wildest part. This year came with clarity I did NOT order: friendships I thought were forever, relationships that looked cute on paper but weren’t actually real, and me finally choosing peace instead of forcing it. 🫶
Professionally I hit a low point too, the “wow okay we’re in the trenches” kind, and of course it spilled into my personal life because why not.
Somehow, between rebuilding my routine and showing up to ride even when I was exhausted, I started coming back to myself.
2025, you were chaos. But… needed, I guess.
And now 2026 is the year of the horse so that feels extremely on brand. The best part of rock bottom is the only way forth is up.
(And to my horses: thanks for dragging me back to myself.) 🤍✨
Will we learn not to stress? Not right now thats for sure. But we got a pretty dress out of this whole debacle 🙆♀️ my favourite snippets from the past few months 🫶

More than a month in with my fairy angel Fae 🧚
Sometimes the universe has a sense of humor about timing. After exactly two months of getting back into horse riding, I decided I was ready for ownership (because clearly I’m a master of rational decision-making). My coach warned me it would take months to find the right match. The universe cackled, whispered “hold my hay,” and delivered Fae two days later – apparently cosmic comedy timing is a thing.
Now here I am, completely enchanted by this 500-kilo gentle giant who believes she’s an oversized golden retriever. While I harbor grand equestrian dreams (shocking – me with ambitions?), what truly fills my soul is simply existing in her beautifully chaotic, apple-crunching presence.
After October’s spectacular burnout - when months of “sleep is for the weak” finally claimed their revenge and my mind simply... departed - I’ve been reluctantly learning that humans need rest. Who knew? The stables have become my sanctuary, my sacred reset. Here, my restless mind stops its endless sprint through deadlines and chaos, and simply breathes. In this space, nothing matters except the profound connection with my four-year-old baby horse, who knows nothing of popups or glowing rectangles, only the poetry of present moments.
Current status: Officially a crazy animal lady (4 fur/hoof babies and counting – someone stage an intervention, or don’t). Only slightly concerned about my hay budget. The future sparkles with possibility, and I’m endlessly grateful – especially for my sister @gioiabuijs who captures every precious moment and cheers the loudest.
Feeling ridiculously lucky, endlessly loved, and profoundly blessed in this beautiful chaos of becoming. ✨
It might not look like it, but this is 100% an appreciation post for my fairy angel @ranheemakeup . After a year of living together—and in honor of moving into this beautiful new space— I just have to say: despite the hardships, the knockdowns, and the disappointments, this girl remains a pure force of warmth and love. You feel it the moment you meet her.
She’s been my safe space, my hype woman, my partner in crime, and the one who’s helped me own my confidence while reminding me just how fun makeup can be. Anyone lucky enough to have her in their life should never take it for granted—I know I don’t.
Happiest 1-year friendiversary to my best friend, my favorite roommate. Here’s to many more years of bashing through life together!🩵🩵🩵
2024, a year that felt like an ocean—waves crashing in chaos, yet calming in moments of profound beauty. Its depths tested me with storms, while its peaks lifted me toward skies I never thought I’d touch. Through it all, I am deeply grateful for the extraordinary souls who stood beside me, grounding me, inspiring me, and reminding me of life’s quiet magic.
Here’s to the key moments that shaped me, the lessons that broke and rebuilt me, and the love that carried me through. As we step into a new chapter, let us leave behind the shadows of 2024, carrying only its light into the days ahead. 🫶
