We had such a beautiful week! 💕✨

First, we celebrated the birthdays of two incredible humans this past week, Princess Von Sprinkles and Leo Lovelace! 🎂🎉 Help us scream the biggest HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK to the both of them!!

Yesterday, we also had the joy of showing up for Peaches and her Fresh Start event, helping provide community children with free hygiene products and haircuts as they get ready to head back to school. 💕

Our cups are absolutely overflowing with community, connection, and love.
And now, we are turning our attention to tomorrow's rehearsal! We will be sharing with each other what we have finalized for our Devil’s Cabaret show....... which will be taking over the Common Chord stage in just ONE MONTH! 😯

We are so lucky to get to create, celebrate, and show up for one another!!! 😘
