“Closing January and the crazy ride that came along with it with these sensational people. I have so much to be grateful for as I couldn’t have done any of it alone,” she said in the caption.
The “Triangle of Sadness” star also remained hopeful about the month of February in her post.
“Certainly not without the committed people in the beginning and end of this series. And every soul in between whose warmth has made my journey complete. [Onto February],” she said.
