What’s New? ‘Cuz So Much Has Happened…
Hi everyone!
So…it’s been a while. I hope summer wasn’t too hot and that your Halloween costumes were cute (and hopefully thrifted/DIY’d)! A lot can happen in 7 months, and indeed, a lot has. Here’s a recap of all that happened for me in my absence:
My grandmother joined my grandfather in heaven on September 16. ♡ As hard as it was, I’m happy she’s not in pain and that she is reunited with my grandpa. I would tell everyone: “The world is a lot less bright without them here, but heaven has a whole lot more laughter, joy, and music. Miss you, Doc and Mary.
me and gramma ❤︎
I released my originals that I recorded at the Brandy Melville studio in July as the BLEND: Live @ Brandy Sessions (check out my music page to listen!). It felt nice to release a new project after some time. A few people remarked that some of my songs (namely the MIMA EP) were gone and to bring it back. My answer: no. In all honesty, aside from “afterword” (which is the only song from the EP to remain on streaming services), all of those songs were made during a very difficult period of my life. Long story short, workplace harassment left me burnt out, and those songs reflected that. I know no work of art is or can be perfect, but I don’t want to put something out in to the world knowing that it’s not my best or what I know I’m capable of. So sorry to the 3 random folks on the internet who actually liked those songs. ☠︎
wow sick cover art
I started dating the love of my life, Chase, back in August. ❤︎ We have a totally crazy story (which idk who wants to hear the whole thing, but let me know if you do), but things finally worked out for us to be together and I thank God everyday for him.
so gay
Lastly, I have a bunch of interesting collaborations in the works! Firstly, I’m a brand ambassador for Wild, which is a certified B-Corp cosmetics company with reusable and refillable body care products like deodorant, body gel, and lip balm. Their products are made with natural ingredients and they leave me feeling and smelling fresh for the whole day (Chase always asks if I’m wearing perfume because I smell so good and I’m literally just wearing my Wild deodorant).

Also, on that note, I’m going to be partnering with a local small business that I’ve been a regular customer of since 2021: eco now! I’m absolutely in love with this Orange County refill store and their mission to help consumers make sustainable choices—more on this later! ✌︎
All in all, a lot has happened, and I hope the next time you hear from me, it won’t be so long. Stay green folks. ❦
