It’s time, although it’s quite overdue! While I enjoy sharing the events that have occurred or are currently progressing in my life, I’ve always felt weird to talk about myself as itself. With that, here we go (laughs)! Who exactly is the person behind the posts?
My name is Angela Yang. I was born and raised in Wisconsin by two great parents. I have two sisters, one older and one younger. I have a partner, Shiina, and we share a beautiful toddler, Valkyrie. Here’s a bit about me to know me better!

Your Submissions
Thank you for your submissions to my Instagram story on what you want to know about me. Here’s a few of them below!
What I Do In A Day
My day to day activities change each week. However, the days and times I’m at the spa or office remain the same. Not to mention, our family days are usually on Monday, unless we have a busy week ahead of ourselves. I make time each day to focus on Valkyrie, my partner and myself, separately, as well. Below is a quick run down of my typical week… I like to keep busy!
Monday: First Weber (FW) office in the morning, family day and household responsibilities for the rest of the day, date night with my partner
Tuesday: FW office in the morning/afternoon, finish household responsibilities and prep for the week, blog/marketing
Wednesday: KOSA Spa (KS) in the morning/afternoon, blog
Thursday: KS in the morning/afternoon, FW office until the evening
Friday: Work from home in the morning (FW or Blog), KS in the afternoon/evening
Saturday: Travel or stay home, catch up on anything from the week
Sunday: KS in the morning/afternoon, blog, plan ahead or relax, date night with my partner
How Do I View Life
Life is full of many opportunities and it’s up to us to take advantage of it. It’s shorter than we realize. Now that I have a child of my own, I understand just how fast time flies. All in one year, Valkyrie learned how to roll over, crawl, stand, walk, and run. In one year! With experiencing how much can change in a short amount of time in our lives, I’ve chosen to not waste a second of it!
What Are My Priorities
My priorities include my family, partner and most importantly, my daughter. I will always put my loved ones first before anyone or anything. As much as I do what I do for myself, I also do it for my family.
There are priorities that change from time to time based on what’s present for me, however. For instance, when I was in aesthetics school or taking a real estate course, my goal was to finish. My studies came before certain activities like going out with friends, for example. I’d choose to spend time finishing my course rather than going out for a drink or dinner. That’s because I’d prioritize myself, along with other responsibilities in my life. If I had time, then I’d go out with friends.
Now my priorities lie in my career. I want to make the most of each position and be the best version of myself. I want to learn and grow.
What Motivates Me
As I mentioned previously, my family is my priority and my view on life is to just go for whatever it is that I want! An old mentor of mine told me that I’m like a fire that’d never die out. If I was determined, I was determined. I’d run towards what I wanted with everything I had. That’s because I have a strong support system, my family, and well, myself.
I want to live the best life I can. I don’t want to ask, “What if?” one day. What if I did this instead of this? What if I went here instead of there? I want to answer those questions without hesitation and with confidence. I look forward to being the best me I can be. That’s what motivates me.
