Hi, I’m Ariella 💕

Hi, I’m Ariella 💕
And yes, I did calculate how many followers I need to hit my goal of 10K by August 1st (but I’m hoping to hit that sooner)
So here’s the plan: I’m going to post every day, both regular reels and trial reels, so that I can hit my goal
Why? Because I believe that I need to go after my dreams, and if I’ve been able to get from 3K to 7.3K in 5 months, then here’s to hoping I can get to 10K soon 💕
Is this super uncomfortable to share? You bet
But I need to put myself out there to do this
So follow along, and let’s do this together 💕

Didn’t think we’d be celebrating this way, but so grateful we were able to spend most of Purim out and about with only a few visits to the safe room (see last picture 🙈)

February 💕

Definitely didn’t end the way we expected it to, but was an incredible month overall. Between prepping for Purim, Mishloach Manot, visiting so many amazing places (@thepitmastershow, @hadayajewelry, @infusedjlm), and ending off with the TLV marathon with @jgiftisrael 💕

Here’s to a month of geulah and bezH may we be zoche to all be together in Israel soon 💕🇮🇱

The words that have been playing in my mind all Shabbos long are אני מאמין 💕

There’s a reason why we’re here. There’s a reason why we read פרשת זכור and why this coincided with it. There’s always a reason, even if we don’t understand it.

And so, I believe. I am here. And I have no idea what’s coming next. But I’m grateful to be here in Israel 🇮🇱💕

@emmercane, an artisan bakery, dropped off some of their babkataschen and we had an absolute blast tasting them for episode 3 of our hamantaschen reviews 💕

Each flavor was super unique:
Classic chocolate 🍫
Blueberry 🫐 with a blueberry lemon 🍋 drizzle
Cookie dough 🍪 with a mocha drizzle🧋

We cannot recommend these enough, and if these are this amazing, the rest of their items must be too 💕

Purim in Israel Musts 🇮🇱🎉

Getting dressed up, walking around, seeing all the costumes, and giving Mishloach Manot to random people are some of my favorites 💕

Neitz is a big one if you can (I got hooked on it my Shana Bet and cannot recommend enough)

Volunteering is super special if you can make that happen, and going to your teachers homes is such an amazing experience 💕

Have the best time and wishing you a Purim Sameach 🎉

Purim in Israel is truly an amazing experience, but here are 3 important things to keep in mind 💕

1. Different parts of the country keep different days if Purim. If you’re in Yerushalayim, you’re keeping Shushan Purim, and there are a few other places that do that as well, so best to double check so you know 😉

2. Transportation 🚌 can be super unreliable on Purim, so make sure you leave yourself enough time to get where you need to go. The light rail 🚈 is usually a safe bet, and busses 🚌 do come, just less often

3. As duh as Purim 🎉 is, it can be a lot so be smart and have an amazing time 🤩

Purim Sameach 💕🎉

Hi, I’m Ariella and @ready.set.sem has helped thousands of seminary girls and parents over the last 4 years 💕

So here’s some advice I think is important that NOBODY talks about:

It’s okay to take time for yourself in sem! It’s a super overwhelming and overstimulating environment even though it’s an incredible experience, and it’s normal if you need some time to just unwind and be alone 💕

Chavayot aren’t always the best for everyone! Those crazy Shabbos experiences just aren’t meant for everyone and you might be someone who just needs to chill with a normal family, and that’s okay!

The year is expensive but there are ways to make it cheaper! Whether that’s a monthly bus pass, eating out less, or shopping resourcefully and taking advantage of sales, it’s possible to minimize the costs!

Follow along for more sem tips, help, and let us help you get Ready.Set.Sem. 💕
Send this to someone coming to Israel this year or sending a daughter!

@acutaboveisrael blew us away yet again with an incredible meat board 🥩 just in time for Shabbos 💕

Every cut of meat was cooked to perfection and my family could not get over the jerky and salami (their all time favorites). We also got tongue which was a huge treat, and some incredible steak and entrecôte 🥩

This makes the perfect gift for any meat lover, and not only is their hechsher great, but they deliver all over!

Lots of sems do dress up days every day until Purim and it’s an absolute blast! And that’s not including chagiga, Purim day, or maybe even 2 days (depending where you are and where you’re celebrating) 🎉

So get excited, use these as inspiration, and have the best time 💕

Seminary answers can be a super overwhelming time, so here are 3 tips to help you through 💕

1. Don’t ask, don’t tell. Best piece of advice my seminary advisor gave me. You never know what anyone else’s answers are, so if you do want to talk about it, try and talk about it one on one

2. Choose a place that makes sense for you! You’re the one who has to go to the seminary you choose, so if a seminary makes sense and is your top pick, even if none of your friends are going, go for it! It’s your year 💕

3. Be confident in your decision! You got this!

And once you do have your decision, then it’s time for us to help you get Ready.Set.Sem. 💕🇮🇱

So get excited and share this with a future sem girl (or mom of a sem girl)

Shana Alef me would never believe that this is the way my life unfolded…
I had a plan to head back to America, go to college, and start my next chapter of life in the place I’d always lived in. But between my family moving and falling in love with Israel, I ended up choosing another path
Is it the path for everyone? Definitely not
Every person is different and you need to do what’s best for you
But am I incredibly to Hashem that this is the life I’m living? Absolutely 💕
I’m grateful to everyone who’s helped me get here, all the help I’ve had along the way, and to all of you for allowing this to be what I do! Because trust me, I never thought this is where I would be 💕🇮🇱

Sem Must or Sem Bust Episode 4: 2 Backpack Edition

Having 1 backpack makes sense, but here’s why having 2 is a Sem must 🎒

You need 1 for school and 1 for packing for Shabbos and tiyulim, unless you want to be like me and need to unpack and repack every week 🙈

And while you can use a rolling suitcase 🧳, dealing with that on a packed bus 🚌 on Erev Shabbos is just not something you want to worry about

So trust us, and use the 2 backpack method 💕
