cooked before I even get the chance 😩😭 @Duolingo #DuolingoPartner #DuolingoOnIce

making all my silly dreams come true 🥰 what’s your silly dream? 💖✨ #beginnerfigureskater

1 thing imma always do is test the spinibility in the fitting room 😌🌪️ lol thought I’d take y’all shopping with me to show you how I vet a good figure skating skirt ⛸️☺️ This one is the All In Motion Micro Pleated Skort from @target . It’s $25 USD & I tried on an XS in this video ✨ Do you think I ended up getting it? 👀

Figured if I can’t teach you yet, you could at least learn with me ☺️ Not sure if I got the names of these moves right, but @mckenna was such a good off-ice teacher and made them look so much easier than they were! Hahaha hope mine can be as smooth as hers one day! ⛸️✨ 🎥: @Natalie Maksym

Finally back to practicing and although some moves are a little rusty, some are a bit stronger after my mini break so I’m happy about where I’m at right now! I’m in the process of moving which has made focusing on my skating goals extra tough recently, but I’m going to keep showing up and trying my best until I can get back into a more consistent routine ✨ - March 6th, 2024

when you look cute, you skate cute 🥰⛸️✨

Her face when I told her I was about to teach her how to do a two foot spin on ice gets me every time 🤣 so shocked hahaha but she did it! 🥹 & this was only her 3rd time on the ice as an adult! Shout out to Amara ⛸️✨ such a wholesome session, especially when McKenna joined 🥰 I love teaching people more about figure skating and getting them to fall in love with the ice 💖 - Feb. 21st, 2024

Sit spin is SITTING & I can’t get enough 🤩 happy I can consistently get up from them now! Flip was having an off day & so was backspin, but what else is new? 😅 - Feb. 23rd, 2024 How we feeling about this new format? Do you like me being mic’d up better or do you prefer my voiceovers? 🤔

the head stand at the end though!@MahaloTheDesigner 🤩 I felt honored to be on the ice with such incredibly talented skaters this day! ⛸️✨ should I learn some crazy freestyle tricks like that last one? 👀🤪

I should start calling him Coach Fred at this point 🥹⛸️ it’s always a blast skating with Fred and I love how he’s always so willing to help teach 😭💖 glad I ran into him at the rink! Illusion into sit spin is so fun! But I’m definitely going to keep trying to work on getting my loop more stable/consistent and figuring out what level of hell I’m stuck in with my backspin. Maybe he’s right and I do need to get my blade adjusted 🤔 would explain why I keep ending up spinning forward instead of backwards 🥴🌪️- March 13th, 2024

That doesn’t mean I’m not going to keep trying 💪🏽 Don’t let someone else’s fears hold you back from enjoying and excelling in something that makes you really happy 😊✨ just because they don’t believe, doesn’t mean it’s not possible 🫶🏽 #keepgoing #followyourdreams

300 DAYS ON ICE IN THE BOOKS!!!! Insane!! Over 2 and a half years of dedication and I’m still committed to the process 💪🏽 No matter how long it takes me, I will reach my skating goals and I’m so happy with how far I’ve come! 🥰 I’ve gained a ton amazing opportunities, experienced so many cool things, accomplished a bunch and have met so many kind and supportive people during this journey! Especially during these last 10 days on ice! 🥹 Excited to see where my next 100 days on ice takes me 💖

I think I might get my haircutter before my layback 🤭👀 maybe not with how tight my hamstring gets when I try it though 😭😩 so glad I have friends that can help me on the ice 🥹🫶🏽 @Fred @Adultskater - April 12th, 2024 Does your hamstring get tight when you try to lift your leg behind you on ice? I don’t feel the tightness when I do spirals, but I feel it when I try a catch foot or a haircutter 🥲

Replying to @₊˚⊹ Kayla ✮🌊🎧 positivity potato really came in clutch today 🥹 thank you @ReyCast for getting me him 🥔💖 I can’t believe I’ve skated 300 days on ice!!! So proud of myself for staying disciplined for so long 😭 I may not be where I expected at this point in my journey, but I’m still making progress everyday and I know I will reach my skating goals when it’s the perfect time for me to reach them 😊 happy with how practice went today, especially with my loop 🥰, and I’m looking forward to my next hundred days on ice! ✨ Big thank you to those who’ve made it to day 300 with me! Genuinely couldn’t have made it this far without you 🥹 - March 18th, 2024

new blades, same me 🤭🤪 glad getting used to new blades is way easier than getting used to new boots! 😂⛸️ definitely feel the difference so far & it feels good! Backspin is still wild, but I can feel myself getting a bit closer to that back outside edge than I was before after only just one session in these! It’s looking like a 7ft rocker really is more my jam after all! - April 23rd, 2024

Had the opportunity this month to work on a really fun a cool project that I cannot wait to share with y’all! Ahh! Stay tuned 🥰⛸️✨ - March 2nd, 3rd & 4th, 2024

It would just be me flinging myself around and crying 🥲 anyone else? 😅 I think about posting off-ice videos for you all often, but I don’t really know what I’m doing off-ice and I admittedly rarely practice it 😬 but I want to get better at doing figure skating specific exercises off the ice so maybe posting about it even if my form is wild and crazy will help me become consistent with it. Y’all can help teach me 🥹 or we can even learn together 💖

THE JEANS Y’ALL 🤩 A lot of the clothes I wear on ice are pieces that I wear off the ice too so I thought I’d share the different ways I style things both on and off the ice 🥰✨ Outfit Details: Vest - @Urban Outfitters Lace turtle neck - @FOREVER 21 Wrist cuffs - @Amazon Skirt - @SHEIN Skin colored tights - @capezio x amazon Ankle warmers - amazon Skates - @jackson.ultima Jeans - @ShopAKIRA Combat boots - @Converse

A little bit of a chaotic session lolol buuuut I love when Fred pushes me to try moves that I tend to avoid. I may give him an evil glare when he asks me to do it 😒, but I can’t get better at something if I don’t try! ☺️ I know these jumps look crazy rn but if I keep working on them they’ll just keep getting and looking better&better 🤩 Gotta continue to get out of my comfort zone on the ice ⛸️✨ - March 20th, 2024

Thank you @JP for teaching me that knee spin!!!!! You should start posting tutorials tbh because I was able to get it down so easy with the tutorial vid you sent me 🥹💖 literally took my session from going south to being one of my faves 🥰✨ - April 3rd, 2024
