It’s getting cold — but one can dream, right? 😌💭Flashback to a #solotrip in Phoenix, AZ.

My late 20s have been about exploration. Exploring new places and exploring myself. There have been a lot of lessons learned — from deep pain came amazing experiences and I’m so grateful for each one.⠀ ⠀ This was my last trip of my 20s as I turn 30 in 11 days!! I went to a place I’ve been before, but with a different perspective that enabled me to soak in as much as I could with an open mind and with gratitude. I had a much better time in London this time around. I guess life does get better with age. ☺️ ⠀ As I say goodbye to my 20s, I look forward to what’s ahead as I continue exploring around the world and inwardly. Aiming to always be present and grateful. ⠀ ⠀ With love. 🖤

Gratitude is a must. 💫 #LondonNights

There’s always something to do before the flight takes off! 🍷💻 🛫 NYC > VIENNA > LONDON

You bet I packed a few of these natural body butters from @lezaskey for my London trip! I received these products from the brand’s creator, Lisa, and I’m so in love with the quality, scents, and the fact that they are easy to travel with.⠀ ⠀ Stay tuned for my IGTV unboxing video on these products. In the meantime, I’m thoroughly enjoying the body butter and whipped body soap here in #London! 😊

Everyone will have an opinion on what you should do and how you should do it — and that’s totally fine. What’s crucial is to know what keeps you grounded and authentic. Consider others’ advise but always follow your compass — gut — inner voice. ⠀ ⠀ Happy Wednesday!

You can’t be your most powerful self if you’re not your most authentic self. Match your personality and the things you love most with how you serve others — and let that be your life’s work. ⠀ ⠀ @oprah said something along those lines. It stuck with me and inspired something within me this week. I hope it inspires something within you as well.

When I first moved to NYC at 18 years old, I was determined to survive the concrete jungle by being a tough girl. I thought that it was the only to protect myself from being taken advantage of in the big city — the only way to be.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ A decade later, having experienced ups and downs, I’ve learned that there’s more to gain in being soft than in being tough. Growing from a tough girl to a soft woman has enabled me to have more meaningful relationships and deep experiences that have enriched me in so many ways.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Being ‘soft’, in society, is associated with being weak — but I have found a certain kind of strength in it. That’s why I’m excited about being a part of @NIVEAUSA’s ‘Rethink Soft’ campaign, as they set out to change the perception of soft and how powerful it can be.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ When you purchase your NIVEA Body Lotion (16.9oz) NIVEA will donate $1 to kindness.org to help build a softer world.

I’m still in love with this dress from @t2_boutique! I’m such a fan of midi dresses like this one that highlight my femininity without being overwhelming. Ladies, check out @t2_boutique for pieces that will have you feeling and looking like magic! 💫

I mostly just want to mind my #business and be around people I love — all the time. The simple things in life. 🙃⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #happyday!

If you’ve watched my IGTV videos, you’ve probably seen when I unwrapped the gift I received from @ernolaszlonyc a couple of months ago. I was so excited to try the products and now that I’ve been using #ernolaszlo for a while, I can honestly say that I’m in love with their products!⠀ ⠀ A day like today — when I get a quiet morning to relax and unwind from being away from home for three consecutive weekends — is perfect to give my skin the love it deserves! I find that their Pore Cleansing Clay Mask is the exact gentle yet powerful solution for my skin after a few weeks of not giving it 100% attention. I feel so much fresher after the mask and ready to face the world!⠀ ⠀ Thank you for the gifts, @ernolaszlonyc! I’m almost out of some of the product — time to shop for more, soon! #LaszloIcon 🥰

Happy Fall! 🍂🍁🌚 What’s your favorite thing about this season? (Random person from comments receives a prize! 🤔🤗)

Never underestimate the power of the pause button. Taking time to stop, be silent, reflect, recharge. Being by the water does something for me — it’s humbling and motivating at the same time, the ocean. I thank God for the opportunity to pause here. 🌊⏸🙏🏾

🌁Golden Gate Bridge Adventures! ⠀ Walked 1.7 miles across the bridge and back, enjoying great views, sun, and a nice breeze. . #goodday #sanfrancisco #california #travel

If you wait for the ‘perfect moment’ you might miss out on a lot in life. I was poorly dressed for yesterday’s outdoorsy adventures but by saying ‘yes’ anyway, I’ve created memories that will last me a lifetime.⠀ ⠀ Go for it! Say yes! And take in God’s artwork. #nature
