I almost didn’t post this.
For the past year, Studio Hela has been pretty quiet because I was recovering from major knee surgery. Just as I was finally getting back into the studio and reopening the shop… life decided to throw one more plot twist, and I was laid off from my full-time job.
It’s been… a lot.
Instead of pretending everything is perfectly fine, I decided to make a video about it.
It’s part fake documentary, part life update, part behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like trying to build a tiny handmade business while figuring out what comes next.
No perfectly curated influencer life over here—just me, a lot of pink, a little existential dread, and an unreasonable amount of hope. 😂
If you watch it, thank you. Seriously. Whether you’ve been cheering me on for years or you’re just curious about what I’ve been up to, I’m really grateful you’re here.

And if nothing else… I hope it reminds someone that it’s okay if your life doesn’t go according to plan. Sometimes the next chapter starts in a way you never expected. 💗
