I signed up for an influencer retreat with no idea where we were going. I just thought “why not” and I’m so glad I did.
I spent the last two days at Azuridge with a group of incredibly talented hustlers, dreamers, and believers. Thank you to @symblcannabis for bringing us together at @azuridgeestate and educating us about the upcoming legalization of cannabis. I went in knowing very little and came out feeling informed and more curious about what things are going to look like #getcurious

I’ve been thinking about moving downtown in the new year but I checked out the new @windsoryyc on Elbow Drive and loved the condos and location... what’s your favourite part of the city?

I did it! 5 weeks with just a @winners $79 carry-on!
Couldn’t have done it without:
✔️The best sweater by @faunstudio
✔️My vegan @supergausa sneakers which made me feel like a local because so many people in Europe have them
✔️The @nourishsweatsoul Malibu dress

I CANT BELIEVE IT. It has been two full years since I launched my blog! I didn’t even realize the date so thanks to Snapchat for reminding me...and I didn’t even have a post ready to celebrate so here’s a repost from the time I was launching. 
So much has changed in the last two years and I wouldn’t change a single thing. The first year I had my blog I posted every single week and this past year I’ve definitely eased off a bit. I’m so thankful for my blog and everything that has come from it, it’s a piece of my heart and I’m truly grateful to each person that has taken a minute out of their day to read something I have to say or even follow me on Instagram and be part of the journey in any way! I honestly don’t have big plans for what’s next I’m just trying to get all this Europe content out for you guys! I did upload my new Greece video so you can check that out! 
Link in bio, like always. Love you all!
