My grandma and I spent every weekend together when I was a kid. She picked me up at school on Fridays and I stayed with her until Sunday. She is very active and we always did something outdoorsy which I didn’t learn to appreciate until I got older. I remember even asking her once, “Why do you love nature so much?” She moved to this neighborhood when I was about 4-5 years old and we started coming to this beach all the time. She would even swim in the ocean which is pretty impressive! We made so many memories throughout the years and I finally learned to love the outdoors along the way. That’s what I think of when I see this photo. What’s your fondest childhood memory?
I am a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to join a community of 40 women of all shapes, sizes, and ethnicities as we exposed and embraced our most hidden and secret insecurities together. In today’s society, we’re constantly bombarded by social media with unrealistic images of how a woman should look and act. @herplaceisin challenged us to defy society’s definition of female beauty and what it means to be a woman. How did we do that, you might ask? We woke up at 7am for a photo shoot, EXCEPT:
- No makeup - No hairstyling - Skin exposed - No photo retouching -
I have never been so inspired by and felt so connected to a group of absolute strangers in such a short period of time. Thank you @brianagardener for your vision, @mishellly for the styling, and the rest of the @herplaceisin team for challenging us to embrace the uncomfortable I’m honored to have been included in this project and can’t wait to see the final product ✨
Dip your toes in the open Pacific Ocean and visit the western shores of Vancouver Island. The Juan de Fuca Provincial Park, 1-3/4 hours Northwest of Victoria, is 1,528 hectares of pristine temperate rain-forest and 47 km. of a mix of jagged cliffs, rounded pebbles, and sandy beaches. #ExploreVancouverIsland⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Me encanta quedarme tumbada inmersa en mis pensamientos, a veces algo profundos, pero en muchas ocasiones totalmente sin importancia

I love to lie down immersed in my thoughts, sometimes quite deep, but often totally unimportant
