And Heaven in a wild flower, 
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
An Eternity in an hour." - William Blake

Diamond in the rough, but all these diamonds, I ain't hard to find ✨💪🏽 __ __ @gymshark @gymsharkwomen @gymsharktrain @crunch_stockton
Summer Skin Essentials 🍃💚 __ __ Shoutout to @influenster & @bioclarity for sending me this #complimentary Clear Skin trio set to try out! I've been using it consistently for almost 2 weeks now and I am loving it so far 🙌🏽 I am all about clean beauty and the fact that Bioclarity is vegan friendly is a definite PLUS 😍 __ __ #bioClarityVoxBox #bioClarity  #PowerOfGreen #naturalbeauty #contest
Fresh & bare face is the look for this summer ✨ (Well mostly b/c ya girl is NOT about to put a full face on everyday fam 💁🏾) __ __ So you probably already know that I am very passionate when it comes to skincare! I have been using the @yeouthskincare Vitamin C&E Serum with Hyaluronic Acid for a couple months now and this is currently where my skin is at ☺ Here's some fun facts about the active ingredients in this serum: 🔸Vitamin C protects your skin from the free radicals of UV light 🔸Vitamin E evens out your skin tone and builds a protective barrier for your skin 🔸Hyaluronic acid keeps your skin hydrated AF by attraction water molecules ➡ @yeouthskincare came through for y'all and gave a 20%off discount 🙌🏽 So if you are interested, use the code SOCIAL 20 😁

Going out of your comfort zone, putting in work towards your goals, being vulnerable, and seeing a positive change and growth within yourself is a MAJOR MOOD fam 🙌🏽 10/10 would recommend. __ __ TL:DR ➡ Today at clinic I weighed myself (something that I NEVER do btw) because I was curious. Found out that from the beginning of this year until today, I lost 13 pounds 😱 And disclaimer, my intention is to not fish for compliments at all, but rather to celebrate small victories and acknowledge the value of hard work and consistency. Nowadays, we all get caught up in reaching a certain goal, the the journey to getting there is often overlooked. So yes, it's awesome to have goals but also remember to be present and in the moment with where you are at in your journey, because ultimately you might realize that having the goal only played a minor role in how you are feeling. Embrace your journey 💛 _ 📸: @aj_unagi
Aaaaaand the London pictures are back 😜🇬🇧 __ __ On my trip, a local asked me, "You're from California, what TF are you doing in dreary ol' London?!"

Happy #WorldOceansDay 💙☀🌊 __ __ To celebrate the ocean and Earth today and everyday, here are some helpful tips towards living a more sustainable life! ♻ Turn off the lights when not in use ♻ Carry a reusable water bottle with you and refill when needed ♻ Use canvas tote bags, instead of plastic bags (or reuse the plastic bags you already have) when shopping ♻ Walk more, drive less (if possible) ♻ Take shorter showers, don't leave the faucet running when brushing your teeth __ Also, kinda sorta related but who is excited for the new episode of @biglittlelies that is dropping tmrw?! Cuz this girl IS 😂🙋🏾
