10 Lessons

I woke up this morning at my boyfriend’s fairytale cabin in Yosemite, dusted with snow and fragments of golden light, and felt a surge of inspiration to document my revelations.

10 Things You Might Not Know About Me

Bees are my worst fear. Spiders, I’m okay with. No, really. They look scary but they can’t fly in zig-zags around you while buzzing in your ear and threatening to prick you with their butts. Anyone watch American Horror Story Cult, haha? I’m trying to become a minimalist. I already have a fairly basic cleansing/skincare/beauty […]

literal works of art 🎨 @adoreme #gifted
yes, they’re my real nails. no, i’m never paying for nail gems again 🍦
there’s always a sunrise and always a sunset and it’s up to you to choose to be there for it. put yourself in the way of beauty. @cherylstrayed

my favorite part about staying home and taking photos for myself is my ability to apply creative liberties to my self-love. i’ve been partnering with @adoreme for the greater part of a year now. and every time i receive a package, i put on my favorite playlist, make myself a cocktail, and dance around in my lingerie at golden hour. even when i’m not feeling myself, which i’ll admit is quite often.⁣
holiday gifts for sustainability and personal growth 👼🏼⁣
