⨠22 āØ
Another year around the sun, another candle to blow out, this time, in my very own store.

I paused today, in between unpacking boxes and painting walls, and just stood there for a moment, quietly taking it all in. Little me wouldāve never imagined that at 22, Iād be standing inside the dream I once whispered about late at night, surrounded by vintage treasures, soft pink walls, and the sweet scent of new beginnings.
Getting older is such a strange, beautiful thing. Itās scary at times, realizing how fast the days pass, how we change, how time reshapes us. But itās also something sacred. A reminder that life is happening right now, that weāre still here, still growing, still becoming.
This year, Iāve learned that everyone has their own rhythm, their own season of blooming. Thereās no rush. Thereās beauty in becoming who youāre meant to be, slowly, fully, and in your own divine timing.
At 22, Iām grateful. Grateful to be alive, to create, to dream, to love, and to build something that reflects who I truly am. Grateful to have everything I once prayed for, peace, purpose, and a little shop thatās coming soon filled with magic and meaning.
Hereās to another year of becoming the woman Iāve always wanted to be, soft but strong, patient yet fearless, and endlessly passionate about what sets my soul on fire.
And fittingly enough⦠today, I also share my birthday with the one and only Marie Antoinette, my forever muse and style icon. A queen in her own right, and the woman who first inspired my love for beauty, history, and timeless elegance. šš§
