Some people rise with the sun. I rise with intention.
My workday starts at 3pm and stretches into the night, but that doesn’t mean I miss out on the beauty of a new day.

The morning is mine: a quiet space to reflect, recharge, and remind myself that every hour holds potential. I’m thankful for the flexibility, the rhythm that suits me, and the chance to show up fully—even when the clock says 10pm.

"It’s not when you start, it’s how you show up.”
So today, I choose to show up with joy, purpose, and a heart ready to give my best.

Let’s make this day count, no matter when it begins. 💫

Just had the most heavenly bite of Pistachio Kunafa, straight from my super sweet friend in Dubai 🇦🇪. Crispy golden layers, luscious pistachio cream, and that perfect touch of Middle Eastern magic. I’m not exaggerating when I say: this is next-level dessert luxury. 💚✨If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out on a flavor experience that’s rich, nutty, and unapologetically indulgent.

💔 Mixed Emotions Today

I’ve been quietly processing the news about Jeraldine Blackman and Justin Leo. While love can be beautiful, it’s hard not to feel the weight of what’s been left behind. Jeraldine’s decision to part ways with Josh Blackman, a man who’s been a pillar for their family, has stirred something deep in me.

Josh’s grace and devotion to Jette and Nemo have always stood out. Watching their family grow together was a joy, and now, seeing that chapter close is bittersweet. My heart is especially with the kids, who deserve all the love and stability in the world.

To Justin and Jeraldine: I hope your journey is filled with honesty and care. And to Josh... thank you for showing what quiet strength looks like.
