Hi patronites! Hope your week started off well ๐ค
New month, new mindsetโฆ and new goals too! ๐๐
This may be a gym selfie, but truth be told: lately, Iโve been feeling like the gym hasnโt been my main focus anymore ๐ Which is funny, because Iโm still totally in love with weight training. But ever since I fell for artistic roller skating, my priorities have shifted a bit ๐ผ๐ฅบ
Iโve decided to lose a few kg this season, not for aesthetic reasons but to feel lighter and more fluid with my jumps and spins (and to avoid putting extra strain on my joints ๐ตโ๐ซ). And I actually set a little personal goal ๐ฅบ๐๐ I want to land a specific jump before my birthday! So this month Iโm going all in with training and skating ๐ Iโm even taking private lessons on the days I donโt have class with my usual teacher. Hello hyperfocus, lmao ๐
Buuut I recently discovered something that made things trickier: my skates are slightly too big, and the plate pulls a bit to the left ๐ฉ That makes me super unstable on my right edge (pinky toe area, for my skate nerds ๐) which also explains why Iโve been struggling so much with this particular jump, since it relies heavily on an edge I canโt properly reach.
Since skates are expensive, Iโm thinking of starting a little support campaign on OF for this goal ๐ They actually allow creators to set up funding goals there, but of course, for my patronites who donโt want to contribute through OF, you can also support me via Ko-Fi or I can create a separate paid post here on Patreon just for that. It would be a one-time thing, not related to the monthly rewards or the OF packs. And in return, Iโll be sending an exclusive thank-you set using my new skates (and a special outfit!) ๐ฅน๐ This content will never be available again ๐
Itโs my way of answering the sweet birthday messages I always get, asking what kind of gift Iโd like and where to send it ๐ฅบ I usually leave it completely up to you and I genuinely appreciate anything, no matter the value ๐ But this month, I decided to be a little more direct, just to make things easier. And in return, Iโll be preparing that special thank-you treat for everyone who helps with this goal ๐
Also!! The print shop is coming back later this week ๐๏ธ I did a poll on Instagram and it looks like a lot of people still want the calendar, even though weโre already in May ๐ So I think Iโll bring it back one last time! Iโm currently updating the shop with both โsingle printโ and โ3-print setโ options from November through April. If thereโs anything specific youโd love to see included, feel free to let me know ๐ฅฐ
And last but not least ๐ I took a couple of days to rest after bunny season ended (have you checked the selfie packs, btw? ๐ฅฐ) but now Iโm officially starting the May rewards ๐ Iโll be picking and sharing the new Vault selections later today, and theyโll be available this week ๐
Oh and before I forget, thereโs some renovation work going on in the apartment upstairs and Iโm about to go crazy with the noise (every single day from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.) so ๐ if something doesnโt make sense, blame it on my scrambled brain ๐ซ ๐ต๐ตโ๐ซ
Anyway! Thatโs it for now ๐
Love you all so much! Thanks for being here ๐ฅบ
