How do you describe the indescribable?

 

This is my life's work: communicating the fleeting moments of travel, immersion in nature, and the freedom of a minimalist lifestyle. As a Creative Director working with the mediums of photography, fashion, surfing, and storytelling, I aim to share not only my experiences, but the products, destinations, and spiritual mediums promoting connection and consciousness. Every moment of every day is an opportunity to choose to live as our highest selves.

These are the tools I use to inspire a life well-lived. 

 
 
 

SHE CARES.

One might assume that the surf industry, with a foundation in rebellion and and an outdoors obsession, would be on the frontlines of the sustainable fashion revolution. However, this does not seem to be the case. Someone missed the memo. Women who surf and skate care how their clothes are made. So what does this lifestyle genre of fashion that supposedly represents us have to offer in our equally weighted demand for aesthetic and ethical production?

There’s something about these islands.. ⠀⠀ I am magnetized by how the natural world still reigns supreme. Stopping to stare at the moon isn’t strange, it’s compulsory. Silent spaces present themselves with authority and a message. It’s simply our job to stop and listen. ⠀⠀ This month’s @smartypants #gutcheck comes from a place of deep reverence for an ancient peoples who staunchly listened to the land and themselves. A Hawaiian friend recently taught me of the age-old concept of “na’ao” - a gut feeling or deep knowing that is rooted in our second brain. While prioritizing our gut for overall wellness is a fairly recent ideology in Western culture, it has been a widely known practice for Hawaiians for centuries. ⠀⠀ Our gut determines our truth; the relationships, choices, and leaps of faith we make that speak to who we are and our purpose. ⠀⠀ As we embark on a new year with new goals and initiatives on the horizon, it’s a critical time to take care of our gut and put ourselves in wild, natural spaces and listen. What is your na’ao saying? 📷:@silkymerman

Lessons from Kaua’i: take care your skin and your toes. 🐷☀️ The before shot of my little piggy before a rock on my hike sent it 45 degrees east. Grateful for plants like comfrey, noni, and thanaka that so generously offer us humans so much healing and protection. 🌿 @manda
Currently navigating a jungle of emotions 🌿 Letting nature guide the way, this is a time to honor the full moon and turn to our sacred rituals to help us release that which is no longer ours, to make room for the light we are meant to let in. Tarot, meditation, time spent outdoors, and reaching out to our spiritual kin can help us remember we are never alone. Our joy and our suffering are a collective experience, bound by the most subtle of synchronicities and the precious threads of fate. ⠀⠀ Thank you, my beautiful sisters @sarahbrady and @viviankimx who held space for me to c r y ↠ an act that is wildly healthy and essential to the purification process. Thank you for understanding with compassion, and for not trying to fix me or make it better. But for simply being there, surrounding me with love, and capturing a moment that helped me to witness my own strength. ⠀⠀ As this year comes to a close, I welcome the new with beaming excitement for what’s to come: continuing to build a community that is passionate, activated, artful and conscious, while elevating my education and participation as that community expands. Thank you all for supporting my platform of honest human experience, and for the brands that believe in the authentic storytelling that connects us all. ♡ 👁🌊✌🏾

I see you and am so thrilled to walk alongside you in your never ending journey of artistry. May we always play, protect, and find purpose in our oceanic home until the end of our days. ⠀⠀ Here’s to the next chapter and a future that is bright, bold and female ↠ @warm_collective @warm_collective @warm_collective ✨✨ ⠀⠀ 📷: @serenalutton

Courage is not the strength to become more than you are. It is the power to look at your light and your shadow sides, and accept that you are, in fact, enough.☽ journal musings by me ↠ photo by @kat_reynolds
