Moral of the story? Always stay TRUE to YOU & listen to your inner voice.๐โจ
Humor of the story? One day itโs CosmoGirl & the next itโs Halloween makeup.๐คก Things are not always as glamorous as they appear, folks!๐ Remember that the next time youโre flipping through a magazine, scrolling social media, or creating any sort of belief as to what reality vs. an image says.๐ฅฐ

Seeking inner freedom through forgiveness.
A healing jam seshโฆ
Have you ever experienced the dark & empty illusory space of shame & unworthiness? I have โ plenty of times.
Have you ever experienced the lightness of your divine truth through forgiveness & healing? Me too โ often.
The question is, how would we know healing without pain? Or light without darkness?
I have spent a lot of time (recently & over the years) seeking to better understand shame & forgivenessโฆ itโs been a very challenging, yet beautiful process.
One of the key takeaways I have found is that the gift of forgiveness is always a two-way process. Meaning, we donโt look down on another as we give this gift; rather, we offer it to them as an equal while simultaneously giving it to ourselves.
To quote ACIM:
โForgiveness is the only gift I give, because it is the only gift I want. And everything I give I give myself.โ
For YOU:
As we approach a new year during the Christmas season, please receive this as a sign & message to relinquish & let go of any shame, guilt, or burdens that you may be carrying. Hand them over to a greater power & know that, at your core, nothing you may have said or done is who you truly areโฆ rather, it is part of this lifeโs journey so we may better understand light & darkโฆ
And know when we offer this gift to others, we are giving it to ourselvesโฆ as we see the innocence in others, we come to remember the innocence within.
Shame & guilt are there to tell us of possible wrongdoings so that we may learn, grow, & mend whatever has happenedโฆ but not to drag through life as heavy burdens that define us or our worth.
YOUR worth is INVALUABLE & YOUR truth is unchangeable. No matter what.
To quote my favorite part of this song (Trevor Hall โForgiveโ feat. Luka Lesson):
โLet all of your mistakes become all of your greatest gifts in disguiseโฆโ
Breathe & let go, famโฆ
Be free & KNOW the LOVE that is your divinely inherent God-given TRUTH. Itโs who YOU are.
I love you,
Alex ๐
Good things coming.
A positive jam sesh with positive real talkโฆ
Fam,
Over the pastโฆ I donโt know how long, Iโve had a lot of unhealed wounds & fears come to surface with what feels like a divine intention for them to be looked at, nurtured, & healedโฆ (maybe this is ongoing in life?๐คฃ)
But nonetheless, a lot of people close to me have expressed experiencing similar pain & growth.๐๐ผ
Hereโs the truth โ everyone is fighting personal battles that others know nothing about nor could they fully comprehend without actually walking in their shoes.๐๐๐
If this is you as well, let this be your reminder that you are NOT alone. Embrace the uncomfortable struggle that comes from growing through inner-healing. And know you have all of us by your side - doing the same thing.โค๏ธ
So โ tonightโs video is calling out to be a positive jam sesh that WE BELIEVE IN THE GOOD THINGS COMING โ as they are!๐ซ
Trust your pathโฆ trust the growthโฆ trust the uncomfortable & painful healingโฆ itโs all working for your highest good & YOU ARE UNSTOPPABLE.๐๐ค๐๐ค๐
SENDING LOVE & PEACE TO YOU,
Alex ๐
BE YOU.

If youโve ever been told youโre โoddโ, โdifferentโ, โweirdโ, etcโฆ, thenโฆ AWESOME! Youโre doing something right!๐บโค๏ธ
If Iโve learned anything in life, modeling, entrepreneurship, relationships, social media, etc..., itโs that we will never find true inner-happiness by trying to be something thatโs inauthentic to who we are.
This is also known as the egoโs illusion of LOVE. The ego says, โwhen youโre accepted by others โ you have worth! And when youโre not, well, somethingโs wrong with youโฆโ NOPE!๐ ๐ผโโ๏ธ
Thereโs always an inner battle happening between ego & heart! And the beautiful/messy truth is that itโs part of life & everyone experiences it.
Live authentically,
shine unapologetically,
& be YOUR BEST SELF.
Letโs be odd, different & weird together...๐คธ๐ผโโ๏ธ๐๐ซโจ
All the vegan, faux-tastic fashion! Iโll be sharing the specifics for each look here soon!โค๏ธ๐ฑ
I LOVE YOU & I SEE YOU,

National Entrepreneurโs Day
In honor of National Entrepreneurโs Day, hereโs a fun timeline of my journey thus farโฆ๐
Ten or so years ago, I would have NEVER ๐คฃ guessed this would be the pathโฆ & let me tell ya, itโs a rollercoaster ๐ข & an absolutely incredible ride!โค๏ธ
Doesnโt mean itโs always easyโฆ in fact, stretching through growth & fear can definitely be, well, stretchyโฆ achyโฆ tightโฆ๐
But even so, the ups, downs, & unexpected turns are what shape us as we continue to evolve & be our best, more authentic selves!๐ฆ
Seize your path, fam! Create from your heart! Pursue what CALLS TO YOUโฆ & when fear stands in your way, staring you in the face โ take another step forward & push right through it!๐๐ผ๐๐ซโจ
I LOVE YOU! I SEE YOU ๐ซถ๐ผ,
