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?

V O T E ! Today is a powerful day. A day where we can be a part of the solution, a chance to SHOW UP for the ocean, the mountains, the trees...feminism, LGBTQ rights, indigenous peoples, our immigrant brothers and sisters...whatever lights your fire. 🔥 It’s a day to SHOW UP for compassion, love, science, education, inclusion, desegregation, wellness and higher consciousness. The future of our species and life as we know it is not something we can afford to watch from the sidelines with apathy and ambivalence. V O T E. Not just today but everyday. With your ballot, your purchases, your time and your energy. Because not voting is still a vote — to allow your future to be determined by those who know nothing of your heart, your values, or your vision of the life you want to create for your children’s children’s children. . So — rather than who, WHAT are you voting for today? 📷: @serenalutton feat. @svnspace x @solidsurf eco board + some of my fav slow fashion brands ✌🏾🇺🇸 @sugarhighlovestoned @miracleeye @raen #isurfed #ivoted
Hi, my name is Alexandra and I’m in recovery from Western Civilization. This lovely morning in Mex, I had no idea anyone was watching. I woke up at the crack of dawn and ran down to the ocean in hopes of sneaking in a few peelers before the crowd showed up. For 45 minutes I surfed completely alone — A L O N E —gliding amongst the first few golden reflections of light that shimmered and gleamed, inviting the mystery of a new day. The truly blank canvas of an empty wave, an empty lineup, reminded me of the epic mystery of life itself, through which we are meant to dance. As I embark on a journey of unraveling our trauma from urban-industrial society, I find even more solace and connection in my moments with the sea. Surfing is a truly sacred act. Does that mean all technology is bad? No, of course not. But the grave imbalance and inescapable influx imposed on our lives is creating deep anxiety and depression for many, myself included. The more control we think we have, the more miserable we are. The more we let go into the natural rhythms that the universe so abundantly continues to drum, day after day, the more we remember we are dancers at heart. Take a moment with Her today, no matter how brief. Feed the soul what it craves, what we have forgotten we need. 📷: @kat_reynolds
Gut check ↠ have you done one today? Inhale, exhale. Listen. What is your body trying to communicate? Welcome to my new monthly post series in #consciouscollab with @smartypants. Our gut is our second brain, its intelligence is assertive and intuitive. And it’s highly connected to the natural world around us, finding a sense of ease when left in the silence of a desert or the vastness of the sea. Our inner health is directly reflected in the health of our surroundings, and as we are in a time of great environmental change, the need for our own gut checks is dire. Take a moment to care for and listen to your gut today, your body often knows what you need before the mind. And if you need a hand, these organic probiotic gummies are a perfect first step in the right direction. #gutcheck #ecopsychology #surfstylespirit
For five days we danced on gorgeous 4-6 foot watery undulations, wrapping into the Bay in a lovingly redundant attempt to show us the definition of sublimity. ❊ My writing can be a bit flowery at times, but this trip was truly worthy of hyperbole.

Everyone thought we were crazy. Too late in the season. Too dangerous. Not enough time. The hurricane’s headed towards land. Our Baja road trip mission was locked in and our group of female sliders was being hit with some serious challenges before the journey even began...

Full hearts and empty lineups. ♡ Baja delivered. Full story with @september_theline + @bingsurfboards going live this week..can’t wait to share. #surfstylespirit #septiembreporsiempre 📷:@kat_reynolds
This extended travel adventure I’m on has evolved since I first began it five years ago. The older I get, the more I can truly appreciate the fleeting nature of it all...the way in which the stars must align in such a perfect manner so that a group of incredible strangers can share a journey of connection, disconnection, and awe of nature’s gifts. From laughs shared over endless tacos to mind boggling surfs that required midday naps to sustain — this was a trip for the books. Thanks to this amazing crew of humans for the invite to Baja for @muchoaloha (who left me in Scorpion Bay with another epic crew of ladies) where we scored on so, so many levels. 📷:@theslipperysaltwaterchronicles
What a babe👆🏾😻 No, I don’t mean the absolutely radical Baja adventure-mobile (although that too)... I’m talking about my wildly talented sister @kat_reynolds capturing a quintessential moment, never to be forgotten. She’s the kind of creative that makes traveling hilarious, fun, organized, and just a massive success. She’s the kind of friend who is as dedicated to you in the same way she is to nailing a shot - open, eager, and ALWAYS there. This girl woke up in Baja every day at sunrise, swam/shot for 4 hours, surfed in the midday sun, and swam for another 3-4 hours each evening. She never complained, made us all laugh in every spare moment, and was a total rockstar. There are few people on this planet who are as selfless, positive, available, and loyal as this woman. Beyond grateful to even know this human, much less share the open road and heartfelt moments of deep, deep sisterhood. More Baja memories with a rad crew of women to come! ✨✨ #septiembreporsiempre
B A J A ↠ B O U ND ! Ready for the next 10 day adventure in México with the two radical crews. As a conscious traveler, it makes me so happy to look at my suitcase and feel stoked about each artisan, alchemist, and producer who crafted each item with the intention to actually do good by the planet too. For those of you who like to travel light, these all-in-one ORGANIC probiotic gummies by @smartypants keep me from having to pack 47 different supplements and don’t need refrigeration when camping 🙌🏽⚡️Check out my story for more of my fav conscious brands I treasure abroad.. Adios amigos 🖖🏾🌈🌻🧡 #consciouscollabs #surfstylespirit
