My journey to "BUDS ON THE MOVE" began earlier this summer when I started making choreography for "I'm Free". I've been dreaming of hosting consumption events in St. Louis ever since I helped host a 200-person Danksgiving event a few years back, and my dream finally came true on September 7, 2024.
As an individual who can't and doesn't enjoy drinking alcohol, it was an absolute trip thinking about hosting my dream alcohol-free event with seltzers, edibles and non-alcoholic beverages! On top of the plant-based experience, the main draw of the event would be learning choreography at YES HONEY!
I slowly started planting the seeds for an event to happen and found my idea: I wanted my own choreography to be taught in a @yeshoney.studio
format, and I specifically wanted @withanneka to help make it happen! While I choreographed most of the routine, Anneka smoothed out the details and added moves I just couldn't figure out myself. The amount of character and personality infused in the choreography makes me extremely proud of our hard work. π It was an absolute honor collaborating with you on the choreo and the event!!
My next goal: I would love to discuss hosting a special class and teaching this choreography to even more people if this is received well! Whaddya think, @yeshoney.studio ? π
Note to @parishilton : I have been absolutely obsessed with "I'm Free" all summer and I'm pretty sure I'm one of the top listeners on Spotify because of how much I've been streaming it. When you or one of your staff replied to my YouTube comment about tagging you in the choreography, it was such an honor to feel seen even if just for a moment. I really hope you love this choreography, and I'd love to talk with you about the community that helped make this happen!

Y'all... when I say this might've been one of the best days of my life. For real.
To everyone in this class and all the Honeys around
... thank you!! I love you all so much and I wanna keep dancing with you. I missed you all and I truly felt at home today. There's too many friends in this video to tag, but every single one of you ate this choreo DOWNNN!! π₯π₯
@dezziesleep you were my first YES HONEY instructor, and it's no coincidence that my my life has come full circle taking your class again. I originally placed the request for "It's ok I'm ok", and the energy and fun from the class was beyond anything I could've ever expected. I knew you were gonna serve and I love how you adjusted the choreo! Thank you so much π
@ihavfavour your classes are an absolute vibe and you motivate me to push my energy limits every time. Thank you for your amazing vibes π
@yeshoney.studio / @terrible_friend you have been there for me during my ups, downs, in sickness and in health this year. I can't believe I went two months unable to make it to the studio... NEVER AGAIN! Thank you so much for everything you do π₯Ήπ
This may have been one of the most challenging years of my life so far, but I refused to give up. I had a feeling good things were coming, and I've finally made it out on the other side. Here's to a beautiful rest of 2024!!!
If anyone is interested in Princess NugNug shirts (more merch to come in the future), DM me about size and customization options! There are several different shirt colors to choose from, and customizing the words/outlines/shadows is also an option!
---------------
I've been going through it, but I'm beyond thankful to have friends and communities that have supported me through thick and thin!
@weeedygonzalez purchased her first Princess NugNug merch, and also helped me get through another life obstacle today as well! I can't thank you and Jacob enough for everything. π
To all of you, I'm truly humbled by the love and support yall have been sending my way after my unfortunate circumstances in the past two months. My health and finances have held me back from thriving and following my dreams, but it's about time to take my life back.
I've also been missing going to dance classes at YES HONEY... very soon I'm gonna make my comeback. I miss all of my dance friends so much, you all have been so sweet reaching out to me, thank you for making me feel seen and remembered π₯Ίπ
Whether you're a part of the cannabis community, dance community or one of many amazing friends I am grateful to have... I see you, I appreciate you, and I love you. I'm excited to continue to growing in this chaotic world we live in. π
Credit to @planetmarscreations for bringing Princess NugNug to life, and helping me destigmatize cannabis one step at a time! Next step, more Princess NugNug artwork and an animated short! π
Me playing Metaphor: ReFantazio, "bonding" with a character who says they don't like me, don't think I'm destined for greatness, bad for their business, but they need me anyway:
PS, @atlus_west this game is incredible. Thank you!

Always an amazing time at @yeshoney.studio especially when my luv @withanneka is teaching!!
Today I wasn't too focused on technique, but instead on having fun and getting through the movements without being too rigid and serious. Still trying to find a balance between my usual strength-based dance focus and combining it with a more gentle, sensual touch when needed.

Day 1/7
"My Journey to Improve Myself like a K-Pop Idol"
Dealing with rejection and change always sucks, so I'm starting a new series thanks to a friend on TikTok. Being perfect is impossible, and I need to learn how to love myself consistently and on a daily basis. Improving my skills every day seems like a good start.
I've been a K-Pop fan for 14+ years now. While there are plenty of criticisms I have regarding the industry, it has evolved the way I view myself as a performer. Being honest with myself about my weaknesses, but also learning how to improve them. Finding my strengths, and learning how they make me special.
Inspired by Carat_Music on TikTok, I decided that with the time I have for 7 days, I'm going to improve myself for a week and see how the journey goes. Whether it's singing in Korean, learning to emote while I dance, or maybe even eating healthier... who knows what I'll get into these next 7 days?
