Ladies,
I am thoroughly burned out. Â Trying to finish law school in two years may have been the dumbest thing I’ve ever done, or the smartest. Â With just one month left, I’m collapsing.
I need some sleep and a very big cocktail.
I’ll be back tomorrow.
xoxo, Belle
A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]
It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.
Inside the reader mail bag there are questions about summer beauty, hiring a personal shopper, navigating a sudden breakouts, and more. Let’s dig in!

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
If you were further south I’d suggest some toes in the sand… Get rested, feel better, and we’ll see you soon!
Girl, listening to yourself and actually doing what needs to be done, was one of my hardest learned lessons this past year. Take all the time you need! #girlboss #burnout #selfcare #selflove
You can do it! 🙂 Enjoy your cocktail!
Belle, having gone through law school in three years, I am amazed at all you do. The end is in sight. You can do it!
I can’t imagine completing law school in just two years, you crazy, successful woman! Congrats — you’re almost there.
Take some time for self-care – no one would begrudge you of that.
Less than a month, though! Hang in there.
You got this.
Take care of yourself, and go get em!
Take a whole week off! You deserve it! Your readers will be here when you return — we promise.
Take a week off your fans will understand!!
Agree!!
We totally understand. You’re so close to the end! Taking some time for self care is necessary and well deserved, and it’s a good reminder to us all that we can’t take care of other things that are important to us without taking care of ourselves first. Enjoy that cocktail and that sleep, you’ve more than earned both. I second Jill’s comment; we’ll be here when you return, even if you give yourself more than a day off. Xoxo
Take good care of yourself Belle! You totally deserve your break.
We will miss you, but we’ll still be here when you’re back.
XOXO
Take all the time you need! I do not know how you’ve kept everything going for all this time – you are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing it all with us. I agree with the above sentiments: we’ll be here when you get back. Just hold on a little bit longer – You’re almost there!
I agree with the above, you’re an inspiration and must be incredibly strong, mentally and emotionally, to get through law school in two years, run an incredible blog, and who knows what else! I hope you have a wonderful celebration planned at the end for yourself 🙂
So proud of you! I am an Elementary school Principal and just love your blog! Take your time, rest, and congrats on finishing!
Fellow 3L here, Belle. Good luck, and stay strong! We’re almost there–“there” being a lifetime of hard work 😉
The third year is a complete waste of time. Doing it in two years is best.
