Be weird. Be perfectly imperfect.

---

Two things: first, raise your hand 🙋🏼‍♀️ if you’re “weird”, “odd”, “different”, etc. Awesome! You’re doing something right!🤓

If I’ve learned anything in life—modeling, entrepreneurship, relationships, social media, & so on—it’s that we will never find true inner happiness by trying to be something that’s inauthentic to who we are.🫶🏼🌟💫✨

Second, perfection is both an illusion & overrated.🙅🏼‍♀️ Seeking *perfection* blocks us from trying new things, taking chances, putting ourselves out there, going after our dreams, & so on. We fear the *imperfect* aspects of these journeys, yet it’s these that make us truly shine!🤩 Fail, fall, stumble, tumble, make mistakes—do it all. Be human; be free!🤲🏼🕊️

Don’t starve your authenticity, your “unique rhythm & sound”, & your true beauty as a human being in this world!🌎🌍🌏 Shine a light 💡 on your weirdness with all of your perfect imperfections.💯 This is the path to inner freedom & to striving to be our best selves!🐛🦋

I LOVE YOU, FAM!🌞❤️

Let’s choose compassion for all, be kind to ourselves, others, animals, the planet, & live our best lives by cultivating peace & love. We have everything to gain & nothing to lose

As a dedicated model, Alex has discovered a source of unparalleled energy and vitality through adopting a plant-based diet. Beyond its physical benefits, this lifestyle change has brought about profound transformations in both the mental and spiritual aspects of Alex’s life. Believing that a diet centered around plants is the key to harmonizing the entire body and spirit, Alex sees it as a beautiful way to honor all species and Mother Earth, fostering a win-win situation for all.

Grandma R. & life thoughts.

---

My grandma Romney passed away 17 years ago, on July 17, 2023. These past several months, I have felt her presence & support in all of my vegan 🌱 fashion pursuits.

Something that keeps coming to me over & over throughout my many years of work, modeling, & overall life experiences is how much of what we do can oftentimes hold a much deeper meaning.

For example, I am incredibly passionate & thankful for the amazing work I get to create & take part in, but it's the application of using it to have a positive effect on others that I am most grateful for. This is what matters most.

The work I share represents many wonderful things at the surface & yet so many more impactful things at the heart.❤️

Lately, during moments of inner stillness, I hear & am reminded that life is about serving & helping others find their way "home". To remember their truth. To know their invaluable purpose. To remind them that they matter & how much they are loved. To compassionately help us all heal by rediscovering who we truly & eternally are.

Yesterday was also Grandma Romney's birthday 🎂. Happy Birthday, Grandma! She’s part of the reason I love flowers 💐 so much. Her backyard was full of rose bushes, tulips, etc. It always smelled like a little piece of heaven on earth.✨

All the love, fam.🤲🏼🌞

Interview: Vegan Model Alex Romney: 'My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner' 💯

🌱 @lovelyveganalex, the creator of Lovely Vegan, embodies compassion and love as the driving force behind her plant-based lifestyle. She believes in the power of togetherness, inspiring others to embrace unity and kindness towards all beings and the planet.

🔍 What advice can you give to someone who wants to start transitioning into a vegan lifestyle?

The best advice I can think of is how much their life is going to transition from the inside-out. When one chooses to embrace the world with compassion as their leading value, everything changes.

You feel more peaceful & connected from all directions: emotional, mental, spiritual, & physical.

Take things a day at a time & remember veganism isn’t about perfection — it’s about making choices that respect all beings & our shared planet.🌎🌍🌏

You will eat more variety in foods than you ever did previously and enjoy incredible vegan products/fashion/etc…. Plus, you will walk this earth knowing YOU ARE THE CHANGE for a better world.🙏🏼

💬 “ I watched ‘Cowspiracy’ & it was a game-changer for me. After watching, I immediately emailed the documentary to everyone I knew. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner — a common sentiment.💯 ”

Be gentle. Be kind.

---

No matter what has happened 5 seconds, 5 minutes, 5 days, or 5 weeks ago, we must always remember to come HOME 🏡 to gentleness & kindness WITHIN.

And it starts with giving these important things to ourselves — the beautiful soul in the mirror 🪞.

Being gentle & kind toward ourselves could look like countless things...

✨Being more patient with our mistakes (our blessings in lessons) as we work to improve.

✨Avoiding shame & judgment when we stumble or fall.

✨Being quick to forgive ourselves when we don’t always get it right.

✨Choosing thoughts that uplift us & highlight our countless strengths.

✨Being free to be human & therefore perfectly imperfect.

✨Validating ourselves & our needs.

✨Giving ourselves permission to try new things even if those things don’t work out the way we hoped.

✨Nurturing ourselves during both the highs & lows of life.

✨Remembering our invaluable purpose within & our wholeness within.

✨Knowing that our inner truth is always our guiding compass.

✨TRUSTING OURSELVES & BEING UNCONDITIONAL IN OUR LOVE FOR WHO WE ARE.

The list 📝 goes on & on…

Be gentle with yourself; be kind to yourself, just as you would an innocent child. And watch how that unbreakable self-love within then becomes your lens for everything outside of you. The CHANGE begins WITHIN.🤲🏼🌼

Love ya, family!🤝🌟💫🌞

Be hope. Be-lieve.

---

Everything we want to create & share in life requires the belief that we can do it & the hope that we will achieve it.🙏🏼✨

Without faith, hope, belief, & conviction, it is challenging to see light 🌞 & to know truth. Many of us need to see that light right now. We need to feel HOPE, & we are calling out for the peace that comes from BELIEF.

 Be that for others, even when it feels most challenging to do so. Show them something to BELIEVE in, give them something to HOPE for... simply by being the change you want to see in the world 🌍.🤝✨

And here’s one of the most beautiful parts of it all: you will receive exactly what you gave: HOPE & BELIEF.♾️

Love ya, fam! I BELIEVE IN YOU & am so glad you’re here!🫂🌟💫❤️

Be seen. Be big.

---

Three key words: TAKE💯UP💯SPACE💯.

Infinite ♾️ SPACE! Because there is *infinite power* that circulates within your *infinite presence* simply because you are YOU. Let it BE SEEN, FELT, & HEARD! It’s needed; it’s sought after. So please BE BIG & allow us to feel the unique positive impact that only you can shine through the collective. I am SO excited & ready to perceive & receive YOUR PRESENCE!🥰👏🏼❤️

Leaving you with one of favorite quotes 💭 of all time by Marianne Williamson…

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”✨

Love ya beyond measure 📐, fam! I SEE YOU & I’m so glad you’re here!🌏🤝🌍🤝🌎
