I’ve worked really hard over the last few years to build a life and company that I am proud of. It has never been about proving anything to anyone except for the little girl who dreamed of frolicking around the world doing what she loves. I’m finally feeling proud of myself, and I’m incredibly grateful for the people who have believed in me and stayed by my side 🫶🏻 I love you. Photos from @otherseabikini spring 23’ collection

summer 2020 - no responsibilities besides working on w**d farms - living in oregon & frolicking around the pnw with great company - i miss it

Story time! I haven’t shared many crazy experiences on here, but this one definitely takes the cake. I was cruising down the mountain at Hope Valley near Lake Tahoe in my brand new @skidoo that I had only had for a couple of days when I smelled smoke and felt heat on my left leg. I was in shock; I really didn’t believe what I was seeing. Within seconds, though, the front of the sled was in flames and the brakes were useless. I kept going faster down the mountain, and at this point, my boot and leg were on fire. I had to jump off the snowmobile and roll down the side of the mountain to put the flames out. I was with my dad, but he’s a crazy adrenaline snowmobiler, so he was way far out and had no clue what was happening. Luckily, there was a snowshoer nearby who had seen the whole thing go down and called for emergency services. Nothing felt surreal; I was still in complete shock. The snowmobile exploded with the loudest freaking bang I’ve heard, straight out of the movies. Then the trees caught on fire, and then came all the authorities. I’m talking firefighters, ambulance, sheriffs, park patrols—you name it, they were there. I feel so incredibly lucky that I only came out of this with minor burns. But the real kicker is that Ski-Doo/ BRP said that this was caused by me riding the brakes and they weren’t liable, which wasn’t true. A few of these models had issues with fuel leaks. And I really hope that if someone was trying to brake while going down the mountain, it wouldn’t burst into flames on them. Should I share more of my crazy experiences?

This midwest gal had big plans, and I can confidently say that the life I once dreamed of when I was little is now my reality 🥹🫶🏻 #midwestgirl #arborgirls #babesnboards #avenueofthegiants #westcoastadventures #livingmydreamlife #bigsurcoast

vacation was 10/10 our days were filled with puzzles, legos, kitty cuddles, and yummy homemade meals – from beef roasts to linguini & clams, shrimp tacos, and more. our mornings began with breakfast in bed, followed by a different local coffee shop each day & vintage stores. i had one of the best fish sandwiches of my life and we enjoyed the freedom of our first work-free trip of 2023. grateful to @hannahk.w for the stay in her cozy tiny home 🤍🌸 #staycation #newyearsgetaway #oside #oceansideca
