Hey True Bestie!
We’re Kyrena and Arielle, best friends since the 6th grade! That’s over 18 years… sheesh!
Being friends for so long has allowed us to share so many experiences together such as first loves, break-ups, graduations, career successes, and even traveling the world. And yet, as we approach our thirties, we have so many more moments in life and milestones to experience.
We often ask ourselves where has the time gone.
Our conversations these days look a bit different. We felt the need to create a space where we could connect with others about not only topics like family, dating/relationships, kids, and money but also our wellness and what brings us joy.
We want this site to serve as a space where you can laugh with us, reflect with us, find courage, or even inspiration for whatever it may be that propels you one step further.
Whether you are in school figuring out your next steps (so stressful!), having a tough time dating or thinking about starting a family (where is my soulmate!?), needing beauty and curly hair tips or just looking for the best couch for your living room (been there!), we hope you find something to remind you that you are not alone in this journey we call life.
So here’s the truth times two!
meet arielle!
- Many would say I’m simple, fun, and sometimes carefree 👀 LOL
- I love sports and being active. Throw me a football or a double dutch rope and I can be outdoors for hours.
- Don’t get me wrong though, being home in bed doing NOTHING is the next best thing.
- When asked, my boyfriend said I’m an “annoying irritable dooky brain” but other than that he thinks I’m great and we’ve been together for almost 9 years now.
- I grew up playing every game console imagined! I love a good video game session with my friends. My favorite right now is Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 😊
- Water is me and I am water. My ultimate goal in life is to learn to free dive and become a certified freediver. Water is so healing for me, put me on a beach and I could live there forever!
- I have a nephew (new aunt in training)! He is such a joy.
- I love styling my hair and I’m passionate about natural hair care and skin care! (I’ve had acne literally my entire life 😩 )
meet kyrena!
- I am extremely organized. A freshly organized fridge or pantry brings me so much joy.
- I’ve been on this parenting journey for 9 years with my dog Bailey. She has been my ultimate snuggler in the mornings.
- My friends love hearing my dating updates, there’s always a story 🙃
- Hamilton soundtrack on repeat x100? Come sing with me!
- I read at least 15 books per year. It’s easy to get lost in a good book when I’m laid out in the sun or curled up on a cold winter day.
- I love a good diy/home project. You should see the transformation of my three bathrooms hahaha
- I love pools but I avoid the ocean. Something about sand everywhere gets my type A going.
- I love a good toasted pb&j with hot cocoa before bed.
- Moved back to NYC to be with family after living on my own for 7 years after high school.
