Summer flew by. The weather didnāt always understand the assignment, but the vibes definitely did. š
Looking back, this might have been one of the most iconic summers of my career.
Major brands. National television. FIFA. All-Star Week. Celebrities. Sets and rooms I used to dream about being in. And somehow, those are only the things Iām actually allowed to post. š So many of my favorite moments, faces and projects will probably live forever in my camera roll thanks to a few NDAs.
And Iām not mad at it. Thereās something really special about realizing that the work speaks even when you canāt.
I ended the summer in Jamaica, finally slowing down long enough to take it all ināand realizing I definitely need to make more room for vacation in this life Iām building. Because I LOVE my career, but I also want to enjoy the life itās creating for me.
I came home to a calendar thatās full, new high-profile contracts coming in almost daily, and some of the biggest opportunities Iāve signed to date.
Booked. Busy. Grateful. And yes⦠the price went up. š
This was very much an A-list summer.
And somehow, I have a feeling weāre just getting started. š„āØ
What if life really could be that simple? šø
What if you woke up every day and chose what made you happy? What if you smiled at strangers, treated people with kindness even when you didnāt know their story, wore the dress that made you feel beautiful, and found little ways to romanticize the life you already have?
The world can feel so heavy sometimes. I think thatās exactly why Iāve become so intentional about creating moments of joy wherever I can.
And honestly, nuuly has become part of that for me. š Fashion has always been one of the ways I express myself, but Nuuly has given me the freedom to play with it in a completely different way. I get to wear beautiful, expressive pieces I probably would never justify buying, experiment with who I want to be that day, and let getting dressed become its own little creative experience.
A new dress, a little dopamine, somewhere beautiful to wander around with absolutely nowhere to be. ššø
Maybe romanticizing your life isnāt about pretending everything is perfect. Maybe itās choosing to notice and create.. the beautiful parts anyway. āØ
There was a time when being alone scared me. Now look at me⦠walking around paradise, celebrating the woman I became when I finally stopped being afraid of my own company. š„¹š¤
Singleness taught me something I never expected: how to build a life so beautiful that love would be an addition to it, not the source of it.
I stopped looking outward for someone else to make me happy. I started looking inward, leaning harder on God, trusting myself, and becoming responsible for my own joy.
And somehow, the life I used to pray for became the life I wake up to every day.
I work A LOT š but I love what I do. I travel. I create. I celebrate myself. I take myself to beautiful places. I live fully.
And standing by this pool on vacation, I realized⦠this is the woman I was once afraid to become.
Single. Powerful. Free. Happy. At peace.
Iām still open to love. But Iām no longer waiting for love to give me a beautiful life.
God and I already built one.
Year 37: Part 1
I feel different..
Like Iāve entered a chapter where I donāt want to rush past my own life anymore.
I want to feel it.
The sun. The breeze. The freedom.
The parts of me that come alive when I stop thinking about whatās next.
Jamaica poured something back into my soul that I didnāt even realize was missing.
Maybe 37 is less about becomingā¦
and more about returning to myself. šÆš²
of ALL the things I couldāve done in Philly for my actual birthday⦠this is what I chose. š„¹š„ļøāØ
Because who said you have to wait until the weekend to have a good time?!
Dinner, drinks, dancing, Philly views + being on the water with was honestly the perfect way to spend my birthday. š„š
10/10 would choose a random Tuesday on the water again. š

Thereās something about getting dressed when you finally feel good in your body again š„°š„°
This birthday feels a little different. Post-surgery, feeling more like myself, traveling, working, celebrating life⦠and actually having FUN getting dressed again. š„¹āØ
This little boat-print set from nuuly was too perfect for the moment āµļø

I used to think a beautiful life was something you earned one day.. Now I think itās something you fall in love withā¦
little by little.
Itās choosing to notice the light instead of the shadows. The beauty instead of the flaws. The abundance instead of whatās missing.
Nothing about my life is perfect.. But my perspective has changed.
And somehowā¦
everything feels more beautiful because of it.
Maybe thatās what 37 looks like.
