NEW CLASS: Improv in Real Life

First Wednesday of every month. Starting September 2.

You don’t have to be an actor. You don’t have to be funny. You just have to be willing to think faster than your anxiety can interrupt.

We’ll play. We’ll free associate. We’ll learn Yes And. And somewhere in there, you’ll remember what it feels like to trust your instincts and not overthink it.

7–8:30 PM | CCS Studio, 663 Magazine Street | $40 drop-in

Comment YES AND below — we’ll send you everything you need.

We are not having any FUN at all… 😉

They say it’s better to “whistle while you work”. Spring ‘26 is all about savoring life, surrendering to JOY, and letting the light IN.

A little sneak peek at our photo day process (yes, some samples arriving day-of 🫠).

✨One part classic prep.
✨One part cool cottage chic.
✨Just a touch of funk.

🌷Spring is coming. We can’t wait to share more soon…

😘🩴😎Thank you @jackrogersusa @krewe

I had a natal chart session with @cosmic_navigator back in March and he told me that Tom is my twin brother from a past lifetime, & I’ve never heard something more true. #tomthetourdog
