Y’ALL DID I JUST UNLOCK SOMETHING?! She’s not a perfect backspin, but my coach asked me to try the seatbelt arm position to see if it helps & I think IT IS actually helping!!! Could just be a one session thing, but I will try again next session & keep you updated! Eeeeeeeepppp!!!! (:

Have you ever tried the seatbelt arm position for your backspin? 🤔

All I do is live, laugh, bell jumps & I think only focusing on them the majority of my figure skating sessions is having a weird effect? Idk. Maybe I should limit how many I do per session. At least I’m aware of the adjustments I have to make with them ✨ - April 20th, 27th & 30th, 2026

Do you think dropping Clem gave me bad vibes & ruined my session? 😔🍊

The way I’ve had this place bookmarked for MONTHS!!!! $35 well spent, I love how it came out 😍

Would you ever get an XL photobooth pic? ✨

I don’t hear many other skaters talking about having closed hips as much as I do & I definitely haven’t heard them talking about their knees naturally leaning inwards & how that affects their skating & how they’ve tried overcoming it. I really think this is the main thing holding me back from getting a proper backspin so if anyone else has this body/knee type & figure skates please let me know how you’ve been dealing with it 🥺🙏🏽 - April 16th, 2026

Ballet is basically me & Ashley’s third space now ✨ This is your sign to take a beginner ballet class with your friends 🥰🩰

(P.S. don’t come for my turns, I’m still learning 😭)

3 straight sessions of axel jump drills/prep because at this point it’s all I do in my adult figure skating journey 🤪⛸️ Hoping after all this hard work mine will be as pretty as Coach Michelle Hong 😍 - April 6th, 8th & 13th, 2026

My boots aren’t broken down yet, they just can’t withstand my aggressive waltz taps 😭 should I get new ones or just tape these even though they’ll look uggy to me taped up? 🤔

My sore arms may not be happy I’m back at aerial, but I am 🥰

A little behind the scenes of one of my adult figure skating lessons ⛸️✨ yes, I asked my coach to record me bc I’m a visual learner lol 😅 still scared to full send some of these moves, but I’m getting less scared each session ♥️ - April 1st, 2026

Do you ever ask your coach to record you?

My hobby hoarder agenda this week ✨ + reading everyday 📚

How many hobbies do you fit into your schedule weekly?

Today was all over the place 🥲 LOL but although I feel like I didn’t learn any new figure skating moves, I actually did learn some more resilience because I didn’t quit after that last backspin 😇 & truly proud of myself for the sit spin like omg it was truly the best I’ve done to date 😍 - March 30th, 2026

Sometimes the goal is to just show up & make it through the session, am I right?

This might be the sign you needed to dust off your longboard, roller skates &/or skateboard 🛹🛼 bc the weather (at least in NY) is perfect for it rn! 🤩

I feel like I did a pretty decent job for being in my combat boots & not having used my longboard in years! Minus the wipeout 😅

Do you longboard, roller skate or skateboard when it’s warm out?
