I have 4 pairs of one-of-a-kind upcycled pants available on my website - link in bio! Created out of secondhand shorts + tapestries, table cloths and other fabric ✨ all named after songs I feel that vibe with them :)

Would love to know which pair is your favorite 🫶🏻 taken in Birmingham, Alabama by @swirlexy

Some earth magic over the past 24 hours ✨ today was so so wonderful - full of movement and sunshine. I wrote this poem about my interpretation of god a few months ago and was thinking about it this morning on my walk and decided to type it up to share :) How lucky are we to experience all the beauty that surrounds us 🌎 taken in Birmingham, Alabama by @swirlexy

31 ✨ Flowing through life with love, mindfulness and intention is my mantra for 2026 and my birthday celebration was exactly that :)

I feel that part of my purpose is to help others connect with their creativity and to be their most authentic selves so I asked my friends to create something that reflects their most true selves and they really did it big time.

Year 30 was full of new realizations, adventures, perspectives, and lessons - bringing me exactly where I am and meant to be and finding the balance in it all.

Forever grateful for my people who show up for me - that see me, understand me and supports me. I can’t wait to see what this next year in my journey brings and all that I create ♡

• @rennan_zaharias baked me the most magical butterfly cake
• @sundrop_beats brought the vibes with some sick beats
• @bama_boy_blackwell got the collaborative live drawing started with a mandala and Buddha board
• @kellycorr created a collaborative drawing with her elementary students she teaches
• @carlymurray put together a beautiful flower arrangement
• @kttee_ created a watercolor painting + drawing of her angel Willow
• @leahguarisco created a mixed media of photography and real pressed flowers!
• Bobby sculpted a chess pawn out of climbing chalk
• @jroddd_808 put together some fire playlists
• @juliannaneal & @jacobleepowell created a homemade pickle ball paddle piñata
• @gratefullysteph wrote an amazing poem
• @foss85 drew a pretty sweet drawing

Lastly, I created a couple pages to my poetry book with handmade paper, fabric collage, and sewing - stay tuned for more details :) by @swirlexy

Reflecting on my adventures today and feeling so much gratitude for all that I got to see :) this first photo was one of the longest travel days of my life. I was sleep deprived, exhausted and felt like I kept making one mistake after another.

The main goal of driving through Arizona was to see some big cacti and although my day didn’t turn out like I planned, I still made it happen. I arrived at the Desert Botanical Gardens just in time for sunset over Phoenix, AZ and it was pure bliss, my saguaro cacti dreams came true.

A reminder that even through the chaos, the universe seems to always know what’s up. Life goes exactly as it should and maybe things end up even better than you planned🌵

Started writing about my travels today and hoping to share it sometime in the next month + my trip itinerary for anyone that’s interested in reading :) taken in Desert Botanical Garden by @swirlexy

Beneath the forest -
Fairy’s dream.

Soft trickling
Of the stream.

The fog drifts,
Many ferns to see.

A butterfly lays -
Waiting for me.

Maze of trees,
Infinite layers of energy.

Grounded in moss,
Expecting nothing -

Yet the earth
Holds me.

I bask in the beauty -
Tranquility.

Present mind,
Clear thoughts -

What have you found
That was once lost?

Reality becoming,
Revealing true being -

It’s the universe,
that I’m seeing.

We have it all -
Here and now.

It lives
deep within.

The journey,
That lies between -

Riding the wave
of discovery.

What do you notice,
what do you see?

Is it the non-stop chatter
on your tv -

Or the wonders
of nature’s beauty,

Just beyond
your door?

⛺️🌙🏜️✨

Thoughts in my head September 11, 2025 and fully feeling it throughout my travels last week. Had the best time of my life exploring the west - seeing some of the most unreal parts of this world and noticing every little detail of beauty in it all. I hope you get to experience it for yourself ◡̈ taken in Mesa Arch, Canyonlands by @swirlexy

A wave of pines
Floating among the peaks.

The wind whispers,
Wildflowers sing.

Submerged in solitude -
Stillness under the trees.

I wonder:
What’s on a butterfly’s mind?

The earth,
lifting my being.

I pause,
Listening -

What does the universe
Have to say to me?

The moon -
She speaks to me.
Changing in phases,
How we both be.

She lights the sky,
So elegantly.
Some don’t even notice,
But I see.

Never alone -
I thank her,
For walking
With me.

Silhouette mountains,
Cotton candy skies behind.

No two paintings of the night
Will ever look the same.

A landscape -
Of my soul.
