WE DID IT!

---

We did it! That's a wrap for the Lovely Vegan Fashion & Goods summer series — woohoo!🥰🙌🏼

I'll be sharing a wrap video with a final message. Thank you for your love, support, & feedback, & as always, I'm so glad YOU are here.🌼

I feel it's my responsibility to always let my fam, most specifically my sisters 👯‍♀️, know that there are so many components that go into photo shoots. Great lighting, an amazing team, post-production, editing images, & so on.📸🪄💻

What we see in an image, especially on social media, usually does not portray reality. In fact, it most often does not.💯

I take care of myself from the inside out, & when it comes to a shoot, obviously the outside is an important factor. I prepare for shoots with extra clean eating, fitness, low sodium & sugar intake, spray tanning, & all the other things.🙃🧚🏼‍♀️💅🏼

I want to be clear so that you know that being human & embracing "imperfections" is what IS real & ultimately most important.🙏🏼✨

Never compare yourself to an image — not online, in a magazine, on TV, or on a billboard. There's so much that goes on behind what we see — even a selfie 🤳🏼 with filters.

Love yourself for the beautiful human being that you are, & may we all remember that truthfully, not just as a feel-good thing that's said, TRUE BEAUTY IS FOUND, eternally exists, & is untouchable within.🤲🏼🤲🏿🤲🏽🤲🏻🤲🏾🌟💫

ALL the LOVE ❤️ & big, big, big, BIG HUGS 🫂.🌞

Be light. Be free.

Life is life. We will almost always have something that causes us to feel heaviness on our shoulders & in our “backpack 🎒 full of burdens 🪨” to carry.👣

The truth is, we carry A LOT‼️ that is unnecessary, causing us additional exhaustion, strain, & depletion.😓

First, we do not have to carry life’s burdens on our own or alone 🚶‍♀️🚶, as we are supported by a greater power, God.🙌🏼🌞

Second, we don’t have to mentally chain our worries to the path of stress & difficulty 🏗️ when many of those concerns are outside our direct control.🧠💭 Welcome to the human mind.😑

We can hand these, & any burden, over to lighten our heavy hearts ❤️ by trusting & allowing ourselves to be supported.🤲🏼✨ 

I’ve experienced the lightening of my personal “backpack 🎒 full of burdens 🪨” quite often in life, especially when they get extra heavy.

It is REAL.

It is POWERFUL.

It is UNDENIABLE.

It is FREEING.🪽🌄

Freedom in lightness, more joy, more presence, more trust, & more PEACE.🕊️

When we have this additional capacity within our personal space, it is much easier to *see & hear* the ways in which we can help guide others to freedom as well.🤝❤️

Seek, surrender, trust, & allow.🙏🏽🙏🏻🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏼

YOU ARE SUPPORTED.🌎🌍🌏

ALL THE LOVE, FAM!🫂💫

Be peaceful. Be home.

---

I’m a big believer of “BE-ing HOME” & dwelling there as often as possible! And we ALL possess this holy space within.🌞 It’s your pure, inherent essence as a living soul in this world. Before you reach outward to find peace, wait… GO INWARD.❤️

Cultivating inner peace is invaluable to our overall wellbeing. No amount of anything in the material world can come close to measuring our eternal connection within. Our oneness with God, love, creation, & all of life.🤝💫

This peaceful sanctuary silences the noise of the world & goes beyond time & space. It’s your “home” that is truly untouchable from the outside world.🙏🏼🪻

Seek within.

Nurture within.

Go there, dwell there, & heal there.✨

Be peaceful. Be home.🤲🏼🤲🏾🤲🏽🤲🏿🤲🏻

Love you, love you, love you, fam!🫂🌎🌍🌏

Be warmth. Be sunshine.

---

I greatly relate to this message during this current chapter of my life. Every time I reach outward, I remind myself of the infinite strength, healing, peace, & light I possess within.🤲🏼🌞

It’s an imperfect practice, & what it has shown me is that each time a personal storm hits & I choose to show up for myself, I realize more & more how strong & capable I AM. I awaken & fortify parts of me that only continue to grow.✨

Here’s the truth about giving ourselves warmth & sunshine: it’s always & only found within. This is your eternal source. It’s YOU & God, hand in hand; that’s it. And when we can be our own best friend, our biggest cheerleader, & our own champion, EVERYTHING CHANGES. Your inner “home” becomes something you’ve never experienced; it’s unbreakable & built on a solid foundation.🪨 Then the world mirrors 🪞 your inner foundation, & you become an unstoppable force in life.

And, of course, spread warmth & sunshine to others as well. This message is to emphasize, remind, & unlock your limitless power to be everything you need. You deserve nothing less.💯

You got this! Love you, fam!❤️🫂

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!🌞❤️
