TELL ME what song you played on repeat when you thought your whole world was falling apart, let’s connect and make a playlist for the world. And PS tag me in your stressed out IG model pose, if you know you know...

We live so many lives just in this life so here are some songs that got me through:

+ Boyz II Men- End Of The Road, when my Middle School crush totally made out with someone else right before a school field trip. I looped this 197 times on my Walkman
+ Mariah Carey- When I Saw You, when my baby daddy broke my heart for the gazillionth time
+ Pink- Who Knew, for G when she decided she wanted to be with someone else and I was not that someone
+ Randy Travis- I Told You So, when an ex cheated on me with a “cousin”... aka wasn’t spending time with a cousin
+ Coldplay’s Scientist and Lewis Capaldi’s Forever- I like to play songs like these just to feel my feelings sometimes. I think it’s nice to honor your emotions when they rise into your throat

Pushing things deep into my belly so they can’t hurt me, I’m good at that. I’m working on also getting good at letting them hurt me so I can just get TF over them already. So tell me, what’s a song you listened to on repeat and what did it get you through?

Thank you @cwpoet for your words that land on me in such a way

ZOOM IN to see my most squintiest most toothiest most biggest smile because LET IT get below 85 degrees in LA and we’re all in bear coats, wrapped in scarves, holding pumpkin spiced lattes, bumpin Mariah’s “All I Want For Christmas”

You know it’s true, we’re all basic. And I’m here for it. All of it. I’m ready for the early AF Halloween decorations, and the “can we get through Thanksgiving first before you set out the Christmas decorations”, and the crisper air, and the joy. I’m ready for the J O Y

What are you ready for? Please be as specific as you can, I even used air quotes- basic is bumpin’ baby and I’m readyyyy to partyyyy

📸: @nikkilimo I miss you more than I miss Christmas music

5 months ago I was celebrating this ‘fun snow day’ that we all had no idea would turn into an indefinite ‘not so funs anymore I miss my peoples snow day’

Human connection is everything to me. I miss seeing faces, big hugs, concerts, and my family ah! But this is our new normal so I’m really trying to navigate through the highs and lows and some things that have helped me:

+ roof top dinners
+ Zoom dates
+ moving my body every day so it doesn’t collapse
+ reading more
+ beach sunsets
+ learning to be still… this is really hard for me, I’m still working on this one (hi I’m a perfectionist control freak)
+ being more patient and kind to myself
+ opening the door and screaming (ha! I’ve really done this and damn, it felt good)
+ tequila, edibles and cbd too TBH

These cutie emojis are just some of the things floating through my mind, what are yours? You missing anything in particular? Have any pointers on how you’ve navigated this time we’ve been living in? Do share <3

Thank you @healthade and @hbfit for the inspo xx

You ever look at an edit of yourself and go, WHERE IS MY NOSE?!

Well you were over-edited for whatever reason and in an effort to cool my jets and hold onto ME during this bananas time in our lives, here’s how I edit my photos using @vsco + @afterlight

+ in VSCO: pre sets A’s, J’s, and C’s are my go-to
+ play with the adjustments in exposure, sharpen, saturation, tone, skin tone (think bright & poppy)
+ in Afterlight: Dust is great for that vintage feel and Light adds flares of magic

Pssst… and you’ll still look like yourself. I mean, I too love a good “healthy glow” IG filter but all those filters can really make the ‘real life’ me- feel like.. a damn FOOT. Since we can’t walk around IN an Instagram filter I try to really focus on editing my photos to be brighter and more poppier… like ME!

Do you have any other social media/editing questions for me? Leave them below! I hope this helped and I hope you know that, “… There is only one like you in the whole world. … And people can like you exactly as you are” - Mr Rogers

Good morning wherever you are! Since the struggle

Good morning wherever you are! Since the struggle is real these days, I want to share my personal tips to GETTING TF OUT OF BED
😴
• when the alarm goes off don’t hit snooze, just jump outta bed or else it may eat you
• make the bed so you don’t climb back in it
• brush your teeth (no one actually likes brushing their teeth but here we are)
• put on something that makes you feel good- for me it’s a workout outfit I feel sexy in or lacy hanky pankies... hey whatever works, you do you
• put on something that makes you smell good- for me it’s boujee perfume because I can still smell me even if everyone else is socially distanced
• move your body- I don’t negotiate with myself on this, I just get up and MOVE. Walk, stretch, Zoom, dance around naked, whatever you gotta do to get the blood flowing. Coffee helps and so does a good playlist
💃🏽
How about you? Any morning rituals you do to keep it movin’ on days you wanna just stay in bed and stare at the ceiling?
🆘
PS your mental health is everything. Health is wealth baby and if you need a moment to lay in bed you draw those blinds... let the sunshine back in again however you can
