Hi, Dobby. Come here. Oh, you good boy.

Everyone is always asking where Dobby is. He's just an old man now and loves

is. He's just an old man now and loves his personal space. He likes sleeping on the bed downstairs. That's kind of his personal area.

I got so hungry. I need to make some dumplings.

Got some dumplings.

Haven't had dumplings in a minute.

I'm also watching The Art of Sarah and it's so good. I love dramas like this.

Keeps me on my toes.

One more card is done. My hands are starting to cramp up. It is one gloomy, gloomy day today. It is raining. I have

an exciting meeting today at Sophie Rner. We're looking at some stones, some

Rner. We're looking at some stones, some diamonds for my wedding jewelry that she's going to make for me. So, let's go check

Withering Heights. I heard so many good things about it. So excited.

This is not a good day to be out right now.

movie. So I'm going to go check out some scents at Aloria. There's a store here in Soh House and I've never been. So I

want to go check out some perfumes while I kill time.

>> The jasmine cream with pink salt on top cuz jasmine is one of the notes in here.

And the rose petals. together really

adds a nice touch.

>> I went into Allora to kill time before my movie and did not expect to have that much fun. Of course, fell in love with

much fun. Of course, fell in love with many different scents, but the the people working there were so nice. They

gave me a drink. The matcha was amazing.

All right, now I'm with the movies.

I was the first one here, so I get the middle.

>> I feel like anyway, >> it's not so exciting.

>> How cute are they right now? It is time for another monthly check-in. Recently,

I had a breakthrough moment in therapy.

I used to be quite passive. I'd

suppressed my feelings because I didn't know how to express them or organize my thoughts. And I quickly learned that

thoughts. And I quickly learned that that only made things worse. This past

weekend, I was feeling very overwhelmed.

I had a lot of things on my plate and I had a little conflict with my fiance.

And instead of escalating it, I just took a little break, started writing down all my feelings. I genuinely feel like I cracked the code. And I think the key here is positive reinforcement. And

instead of telling him all the things that I thought he was doing wrong, I started sharing all the good things, the positive things, and the things that I really appreciated that he did for me.

And all the tension just dissolved within minutes. And instead of being an

within minutes. And instead of being an actual argument, it ended up just being like a really healthy, productive conversation. So, if you're interested

I need coffee.

Who's the most handsome girl?

>> It's where looking for like serving here.

Good morning everyone. Today is a very special day. I'm going to be proposing

special day. I'm going to be proposing to my friends to be my bridesmaids.

Honestly, cannot wait for them to come over. So, we have a lot of preparation

over. So, we have a lot of preparation and getting ready to do so. Yeah. Got

washed up and now let's get ready. One

of my friends is not feeling well, so she's not able to come. I can just propose to her on a different day. I

feel like if it was me a couple years ago, I probably wouldn't one have done a wedding, but two wouldn't have done a bridal party. But I think over the

bridal party. But I think over the years, the definition of friendships have evolved when it came to meeting new people. I've always had my guards like

people. I've always had my guards like all the way up, making it nearly impossible to to make friends. I'm the

type of person where if I'm like hurt once, it's like really hard for me to open up again. I really think like with therapy, you guys, I have worked many, many years in therapy, talking about

friendship. Finally, I'm at a place now

friendship. Finally, I'm at a place now where I'm like way more openhearted and I've let people into my life doing so.

I've just met such such wonderful people and like now I cannot even imagine my life without my closest friends. Writing

their cards, it just made me, you know, reflect on each one of my friendships and how much they mean to me. I was in tears. I was drafting them on my phone

tears. I was drafting them on my phone when I was coming back from Milan on the airplane and I was crying so much I had to put a blanket over my my head as I was writing it. Each one of them has

truly defined what friendship means to me in their own unique ways. I don't know if you guys have seen me change as a person, but I feel like overall I've

just become a way more confident person than I was before. As I enter this exciting, but also nerve-wracking stage of my life, it just made me really

grateful that I have these friends in my life who will come to my wedding and see me get married. Cuz like when I was younger, I used to think like, why would I have a wedding when I probably have

like one or two friends?

This is the makeup. Now I got to do my hair to do something. All right.

This is what I am wearing today.

This top is like a one shoulder cape which is so cute and so perfect for this occasion. It's from the brand called Ro

occasion. It's from the brand called Ro or Rohi. R O H E. Pants are from

or Rohi. R O H E. Pants are from Reformation and heels are from Dolce Vita. And these are new so I'm walking

Vita. And these are new so I'm walking all over the house in them. And earrings

are Lily clasp. Now, I'm going to set up the table and put the boxes together.

So, let's do that.

Have to engage this.

Tada. Then

these like that.

All right, we are done. My gosh, we are scrambling.

Susman put together these light snacks.

So cute.

>> I'm already Wa!

Okay, okay, okay, okay. I'm about to pick up my friend Kristen because she wasn't able to come to the bridesmaid proposal cuz she was not feeling too well. So, we're going to hang out today,

well. So, we're going to hang out today, go do a workout. She's actually my maid of honor.

It's good.

Is there a special order I should be opening?

>> No, it's just like a travel.
