Went to the cutest place the other day for prickly pear soft serve🤭 Something I really appreciate about the west is how much people care about aesthetics!! Like no one asked for people to plant flowers everywhere or add nice carvings to the freeway entrances or make pretty murals BUT THEY JUST DID IT ANYWAYS AND I LOVE IT. Thank u for coming to my ted talk and happy Sunday!! I just got out of a barre class at @cayogabarre and now I’m going to tj maxx to overspend. S/o to @princesspollyboutique for always providing an Arizona weather approved fit🌵 ⁣ What’s something you love about where you live?

Valentine’s Day this year vs. last year⁣ ⁣ Going out for a girls night with my friends!!! Very blessed that most of my friends are single this year so we can all throw down together🤪 I’ve truly reached a point where I feel 100% comfortable in my skin. Building confidence is HARD and it takes work, but it is so worth it!! No matter who you are spending it I hope you have a day surrounded by people you love the most. BE YOUR OWN VALENTINE BABY🥰

The Southwest is one of my favorite landscapes I’ve ever seen, something about the red rocks and wonky little plants of the desert really brings me the utmost joy. It’s been a slowwwww few months with adventuring - but now that temps are finally warming up I’m so excited to get out there and explore some new places as well as revisit some old ones. Happy Sunday everyone🤗

happy 21st birthday to me!! excited for a week long celebration that will end in LA with some of my favorite people. Blessed to see another year around the sun!

influenced by @sydneyjoz to post more filler/mood pics so here’s a palm tree appreciation post

Arizona is such a special place to me. I’m starting my second year here, which doesn’t really feel 100% real. Every day I make it a point to notice how beautiful it is here. If you recorded me in my car throughout the day you would without question hear me say “I love you palm tree,” or “I love you cactus,” at least 10 times a day😅 I graduate this December and I have no idea what that holds for me. I have a feeling though that my next few years will be in LA, San Diego, or Hawaii. Although I love it here I am also addicted to change. Regardless of where I’m at, Arizona will always be a place that is so so special to me! Here’s to you Arizona, thanks for helping me realize my potential and pushing me far beyond my comfort zone. You’ve brought me more opportunities than you’ll ever know🌈🌵

#ad This #NewYear, I’m proud to partner with @POETbiofuels in committing to a #RenewableResolution for 2020. A big part of my #2020 plan is to find creative ways to reduce my plastic waste by 75%. So far I’ve replaced my tooth brush with a bamboo brush, and started using container-less shampoo! I also plan to continue to #choosebiofuels to fuel all my adventures so I can have a good time and feel good about it too! Biofuel blends are a renewable fuel choice made from plants that reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 43% compared to traditional gasoline😧. Plus they’re approved for use in all vehicles 2001 and newer and can be found at stations across the country, making it a simple choice we can all make to help preserve our planet. You guys know I’m huge on being eco-friendly and helping the environment - and since I travel so often this is a great way to do so. To learn more, follow @POETbiofuels or visit the link in my bio! I encourage you to participate in your own renewable resolution throughout the #NewYear. If you are - tell me below, and I personally challenge @camrussell_ @allisonkirk_ and @itsthebtb to create their own resolution :)

Spent some time in one of my favorite places this weekend - Joshua Tree! Got blessed with a freaking incredible sunrise (swipe to the end) honestly couldn’t have asked for a better weekend! ⁣ ⁣ As I’ve spoken on before, I have terrible anxiety and a dash or two of depression. The way my mind works, I’m more often than not what I like to call a “catastroph-izer,” what I mean is that I will take small insignificant problems and become so obsessed and overwhelmed with them that they become huge to me. I’ve learned that finding good in my every day helps me balance my mind, and realize life isn’t so bad sometimes. Simple things like sunrises, palm trees, quiet mornings, hot tea, sunsets, and star lit skies are now something I get excited for every day. Literally on my worst days sometimes the only thing that gets me through is seeing the silhouette of the palm trees against the gradient of a sunset. I think finding a little bit of good in the every day can really keep you grounded🦋 #gorjanaambassador

Had SUCH a fun weekend exploring Palm Springs and @4xfar festival with @yellerweller this weekend. We listened to so much good music, saw so many beautiful places, and just had an all around incredible time. Rarely do things go exactly as planned, but I can honestly say this weekend we so smoothly & I’m so happy with how everything turned out! ⁣ ⁣ For now, it’s time to play catch-up! Doing all the laundry, homework, editing photos and cleaning up my car bc it’s full of dust. Excited for a productive week! What are you getting into this week😬
