how The Story Begins

One year, we moved cities for my dad’s job and spent four months living in a hotel. To me? It felt like starring in my own episode of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. That experience — paired with living on 3 continents and perfectly planned family vacations — made me fall head-over-heels in love with travel. Not the chaotic kind, but the kind that feels like a soft place to land. That made me feel held.

For a long time, I thought I was just in love with travel. But looking back, I realize I was studying safety, beauty, and freedom, learning how to create a life that feels like a five-star experience, even in the middle of a life transition.

When I left my religion, I lost a version of myself that had been built for other people. When I gained weight, I disappeared from my own reflection. And when I had weight loss surgery, I didn’t just reclaim my body, I reclaimed my voice.

I started rebuilding my identity piece by piece; through outfits that made me feel like the woman I was becoming, through solo trips that made me feel brave, and through content that finally made me feel seen.

Ladies Take Notes was born from that rebirth. From the decision to live softly without shrinking. To be stylish, healed, visible and vulnerable. To believe that you don’t need permission to become the woman you want to be, just the courage to tell yourself the truth about what you actually want.

Today, this little corner of the internet is my digital suite. A place where beauty meets boundary, style meets soul, and transformation isn’t a fantasy, it’s a framework.

I built this for the woman who’s tired of waiting. The woman who’s already soft inside, she just forgot she’s allowed to show it. If that's you, welcome to ✨The Suite Life✨

I grew up with an airport dad. He always used to say, "If you're doing something, do it well." He taught me that attention to detail is a form of good manners; that it’s not just where you go, but how you arrive. My mother taught me emotional strength, softness, and how to carry myself with quiet elegance, even when everything around me was shifting.

Your room is ready, your glow-up is on the itinerary, and this time, you’re not packing fear.
