I’m typing this right now from my parent’s house in sunny California. After all the blog hullabaloo I’m on a much needed 3 week California vacation to visit friends and family.

But looking at these photos, I can’t help but miss the beauty of a summer sunset in NYC .

I’m so relieved to not be photoshopping my skin anymore. Editing photos is so much easier, and I’m sort of forced to accept my insecurities now.

Doesn’t mean it’s totally easy…

Remember:

Radical Self Love Is A Daily Fight!

How beautiful is this backdrop though?

We shot these photos on the west side of Manhattan. If you’ve never been to NYC before, make sure you rent a bike and ride the west side bike path. Stunning views.

The cuff is a flexible metal band that I can twist any which way. It’s SUUUUUUPER cool.

SICK SHOES RIGHT????

I finally decided on these ones after a long Instagram debate with my followers. I think I made the right choice.

PS for anyone curious, they are comfy as hell.

Alright, I’m going to go swim in a pool or hike or drive to Starbucks or eat AMAZING Mexican food.

Because like the saying goes,

“When in California, do California shit.”
