She has the superpower of calming babies, playing with kids, and caring with the biggest heart. Growing up the cousins all spent holidays together building memories along the way. Isabella calls Michelle “Ate Wiggy”, out of traditional respect despite their adult age even today. As these two grow older and wiser they become closer and closer. They think alike and Michelle wants to eventually lead Isay along the same career path within WF to success. They never call each other because they prefer Facetime #obvi! Isabella introduced Michelle to Buxom lip plumpers which to this day she canNOT live without! The Barredo blood runs strong, and family will always be family!

Jen and Miche found each other freshman year in High School. They rode Bart together (all the way to Hayward - ONE TIME), got their first Motorola flip phones together, and even wore fake sticker nose rings just to look cool. They were the best of friends back then, and the best of friends until today. They call each other Bae. These two can hold a full blown conversation without words (just looks), and STILL understand what the other is thinking. Jen was the one best friend who visited Michelle in San Diego the MOST.
