Having an altar or sacred space in my home is so important for me, itโs a place where I can be present in a world that never slows down. Wether I start my day with meditation, or end my evening cleansing my aura, I know that I have a sanctuary I can turn to. ๐๐ปโจ๐ผ
Pro tip: burning Palo Santo or sage cleanses any negative energies surrounding you. ๐๏ธ
We all need a safe place where we can unwind from our day and worries, even on days Iโm not feeling my best my altar is there to remind me of my higher self. ๐๐๐ป
I bet youโre wondering how I discovered this special talent? Well, hereโs the short version. More descriptive footage on my OFTV coming soon! ๐ฅโจ
When I was around 17 I started going to music festivals and meeting all sorts of people. A friend of mine decided to give me a hula hoop as a gift, I was so inspired by her flow and the way she expressed herself dancing with a prop, I had to learn myself. I never considered myself a good dancer but something magical unlocked when I had a prop, I was able to move to the beat! I started watching videos on the basics of flow with a prop and from there on I was committed to learn this sorcery. I started getting really good and felt comfortable dancing with LED hoops in front of others, the more I did it I found a whole community of performers I would be inspired by. From there, I met a musician who said I should dance on stage while he plays his music. Unlocking the live performance aspect was a whole new world for me and I just wanted more, so I decided to create my own troupe of fire & LED performers. I found us gigs at music festivals, breweries, birthday parties, and we even hosted our own full moon fire ceremony!! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅโจโจโจ
Moral of the story, if you really want something then go for it! We are quite literally capable of achieving absolutely anything our hearts desire, donโt set limits for yourself because they donโt exist! โจ whoever said the sky is the limit was wrong! Weโre going to different galaxies and portals my loves.
Stay beautiful & bright! ๐ฅโจ๐
Enjoying a delectable Spanish evening inspired by Salvador Dali himselfโฆ ๐น๐๐ฝ๐จ Tapas is a wonderful way to explore multiple foods at a dinner table without confining yourself to one palette experience. I always say, โvariety is the spice of life.โ ๐ค๐ป

In nature I find solace where I can strike my favorite yoga pose known as โstanding half bow.โ๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ๐ค๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ
This standing balance backbend enhances the elasticity of the spine while toning the abdominal organs and strengthening legs. The balance aspect is a reminder that strength and grace are possible at the same time.โจ๐๐ป
1. Stand in mountain pose. Inhale deeply onto the full length of your body. Gradually transfer your weight on to the left foot, and take your right foot back to place the big toe on the floor behind you. With hands on hips, lift out of your lower back and arch your back into a long bend.
2. Bend the right knee and lift the heel high in the air. Stay in this backbend for a few breaths to strengthen the back muscles.
3. Bring the heel toward the right buttock, reach back with the right hand, and grasp the outer ankle with the right hand. Press the right foot back while you pull the ankle forward with your right hand to create as big an arch in your โbowโ as possible.
Lift the right leg backward to bring the thigh more parallel to the floor and your shin more vertical, sole of the foot facing upward. Press youโre right hip and right side ribs forward to square your torso to the front.
4. Bend the supporting leg and lean forward as you raise the left arm parallel to the floor, palm facing up. Bring the tips of the index finger and thumb together. With eyes soft, gaze at the point of union between finger and thumb. Breath smoothly and evenly, balancing with ease and grace on the left leg as the right foot continues to push backward and upward. Focus on allowing the curve of the spine to flow up behind the heart has you push the chest open and keep the shoulders even.
5. Release the right foot as you exhale. Return to stand evenly in mountain pose. Repeat on the other side.

Watch out for my OFTV fire dancing episode! โจ
Enjoy this snippet of me dancing with flames ๐ฅ
Sunset Cliffs in San Diego takes me away to a brighter place where the vibes are immaculate, the oceans run deep, and the music sings in reggae (the vibration of LOVE.) ๐๐โค๏ธ
Slightly Stoopid is one of my life long favorite bands, they have guided me through all of the waves of existence! Ocean Beach California is where the band first got together in 1995 where they caught the attention of Sublime singer Bradley Nowell, who signed them for their first records & released their first CDS together. ๐ฟ ๐ถ
Reggae is more than just music, itโs a vibration that celebrates earth, love, and unity. What we listen to, wether itโs music or the voice in our head we get to choose the vibration we want to tap into everyday.
๐๐โค๏ธ
๐ฟ๐ธโThe goal of life is living in
agreement with nature.โ -Buddha ๐ธ๐ฟ
Nature is truly what keeps us grounded in a world that never stops. Any time I feel myself spiraling from the everyday hustle & bustle of our current reality, I turn towards Mother Earth to re-center. ๐ธ๐๐ป๐ฒ
Wether that means taking the scenic route home from work, enjoying the sunrise on an early day, or simply walking barefoot in my backyard. We all have the tools to slow down and ground ourselves, we just have to tap into the beauties our earth already provides us with! ๐๐ป
At the Illusion exhibit in Chicago I was drawn to this installation where one wall was projecting a red, green, and blue light. โค๏ธ๐๐On the wall it was projecting on to it was completely white but, as I walked closer to the โwhiteโ wall my shadow illuminated the vibrant colors once again.
One of my favorite quotes says, โThere is always light. If only weโre brave enough to see it, if only weโre brave enough to be it.โ ๐ค๐ค๐ค Each day we are all just remembering the light we have within us, and how much of it we have to spread onto each other~ keep shining you beautiful souls! โจ
Stay tuned for my OFTV episode that I shot at this exhibit! ๐
Like wildflowers, you must allow yourself to grow in all the places people thought you never would. ๐ผ๐ผ๐ผ
This installation is called โSentient,โ created by Daniel Popper, who is known for his larger than life sculptures. I was fortunate enough to experience his exhibit named, โHuman Natureโ at the Morton Arboretum in Illinois. ๐ฅฐ
We are all sentient beings meant to feel all of our emotions and, like a wildflower, we can blossom too! ๐ผ
Growing at our own pace - out of the dirt and reaching towards the sky.
Take a moment today to feel into your higher self and remember your power.

Ever wonder how I make my acrylic pours? Iโm here to give you a little run down on how I create the magic that is posted here behind me in this photo. ๐ฅฐ
Iโm a firm believer in non-waste, recycling, and reusing. I find a lot of my canvases from thrift stores that have been previously used but, need a fresh new start! ๐๐ป
Once I find a set of canvases that Iโm drawn to I bring them home where the magic begins! ๐ช
I place push pins into the back of each corner of the canvases which help elevate them, so once I pour the paint over the canvas it will prevent the piece from sticking to the plastic on my table!
You can find a lot of acrylic paint that is labeled โready to pourโ which means the mixing medium has already been added to the paints! The mixing medium allows the pain to smoothly spread over the canvases, without having to pick up each piece & move them too often. ๐ฅฐ๐ depending on your skill level, mediums & paints are sold separately as well!
Once I decide on which colors I want to use, I pour each layer of color into a large cup layering every color over the top of one another until my cup is almost full! I find pieces come out best when you stick to a maximum of 3 colors or less! ๐๐ค๐ค
Stay tuned for more descriptive videos on how to make these mesmerizing abstract pieces of art! ๐จ Until then, stay beautiful & continue looking at life as one big painting! ๐๐๐
This seated pose called Padmasana is described as the basic posture in yoga. It's one of my favorite poses to start with as I ease in to the rest of my yoga flow, so let's get started! ๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ ๐๐ป๐๏ธ
Step one: Sit on the floor or mat whichever you prefer, then begin stretching your legs straight in front of you.
Step 2: Bend your right leg at the knee, and begin placing your right foot on your left thigh gently with the help of your hands. You should already feel a good stretch in your right hip flexor.
Step 3: Now, fold your left leg at the knee as you tuck it under your right ankle.
Step 4: Bring your palms to center touching one another as pictured here, and begin breathing deeply. Start by breathing all the way in through your nose until you can't anymore, and then exhale through your mouth entirely. Do this breath work at least five times in a row, in order to slow down your nervous system.
Step 5: Once you feel comfortable in this position with your palms to center still, straighten out both legs and then bend your left leg at the knee. Once again gently with the help of your hands, place the left foot on your right thigh.
Step 6: Bend your right leg at the knee, this time tucking it under your left thigh. You will feel a good stretch in your left hip flexor now, remember during your pose continuing your breathe work I stated in step four.
Padmasana is great to open up your hips especially if you are seated often, wether it's driving, or if you're sitting at a desk for most of your day.
Stay tuned for more yoga poses and breath work. ๐
Namaste everyone~ remember to stay beautiful and continue spreading love and light through out your day.

One of my dreams is to live near the oceanโฆ ๐ญ๐
My favorite body of water is the Coral Sea, where you can find our magnificent Great Barrier Reef. Did you know the Great Barrier Reef is the largest living thing on earth & is visible from outer space? 10% of the worlds total fish species can be found just within the Great Barrier Reef. Keeping our oceans clean and safe is what will continue bringing humanity closer to unity~

Hi there LUNAtics! โจ๐๐๐โจ
Vincent Van Gogh will forever be one of my favorite iconic abstract artists. Did you know he only sold one of his paintings in his lifetime? Or that he painted โStarry Nightโ in an insane asylum? ๐ณ๐ถ
I was able to experience an immersive Van Gogh exhibit, where his paintings were projected onto the walls around me, as I strolled around drinking champagne wondering how I could create something even half as magnificent as him. ๐ญ๐ฅ๐จ๐ผ๏ธ
I spent the day at Cataract Falls on a hike in Sevier, Tennessee at The Great Smoky National Park. I hiked, trailed around different waterfalls, and found pretty flowers.
Nature will always be my greatest healer, especially in our everyday busy lives. Itโs important to find time to unwind, and disconnect for awhile.

Hi beautiful souls!
Whatโs your favorite flower? Mine are orchids. ๐ฅฐ I was able to visit this beautiful orchid greenhouse, where I was introduced to different species of orchids I never knew of before. Did you know that orchids are the worldโs largest plant family? Orchids have the tiniest seeds in the world. This makes them a challenge to grow and cultivate. They take forever to sprout and actually turn into a plant! Growing orchids from seeds is only for the patient and very green-thumbed.
๐ธ๐๐บ๐ท๐ป๐ผ
Maybe one day Iโll have my own orchid greenhouse ๐ญ.
Expressing myself through hula hooping is one of my favorite outlets, it encourages me to be more present with my body. Movement is one of my favored versions of meditation, when Iโm focused on dancing with my hoop I surrender to it completely & my mind is at ease.

One of my secret talents is playing with fire ๐ฅ ๐ call me a pyro if you will (; I have been fire dancing & eating fire for over 7 years now. Performing at music festivals, birthday parties, breweries, and events of all kinds all over the country! Iโve even traveled to Costa Rica, where I camped on the beach for 4 days performing my fire dancing at a music festival. Letโs play with fire together. ๐
โWe are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience.โ

A couple acrylic pours on canvas I made recently, and a mixed media portrait I came up with. I used several different magazines, words written by me, and layered the images on one of my previous acrylic pours.
