  • They say it’s about the journey, not the destination 🏝 ... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ...But maybe it’s a little bit about the destination 😜 #PuertoVallartaSunsets💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Where have you seen your most memorable sunsets? Or do you prefer sunrises? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I find myself so incredibly lucky to be able to travel as much as I do, and with my Wells Fargo Propel® Card, I’m earning 3X points on hotel stays. More points = more rewards, which for me means, more beautiful sunsets around the world! 🌅 #LifewithPropel #ad

  • “Never stop doing things for the first time." — Anonymous ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today, I visited @AnnenbergSpace for the first time. My friend @jameskaofoto invited me to see the amazing #PhotoArk exhibit by @NatGeo photographer @JoelSartore and I thought, that sounds interesting, why not? Boy, am I glad I did! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Joel’s 25 year (and ongoing!) quest to document the world’s animals is both breathtaking and a bit of an awakening. Sartore’s powerful photos mirror a powerful message, that to know these animals is to want to save them. The images he captures shows each creature in a captivating way - whether it be humorous or adorable. GO SEE IT. It will be available for viewing until Jan 13th and the best part is that it’s FREE folks. Make sure you watch the short film - it was my favorite part of the exhibit and gives you the back story on the hows and whys of this important #animalconservation project. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: @jameskaofoto

  • “When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky” – Buddha 🙏 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I usually post a “best of Instagram” collage of the year’s most ❤️d photos, but I’m just not feeling it this year. We’ve reached a point in digital media where it’s become a sort of rat race, an ugly obsession with number of likes and follows. The Instagram Self-Proclaimed Elite snubbing their noses at those they deem “less than”. Strangers leave hurtful comments because it’s easy to be cruel through a screen. It feels like high school. It feels divisive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And it’s just not me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been devoting a large chunk of my life to building my online brand for 9 full years now. I can remember each and every person that took a chance on me or took a moment to share advice or answer a question I had along the way. Anyone who knows me also knows that this is how I move forward, by paying it forward when I can. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So this year, instead I’m giving you a ridiculously happy photo of me along with the invitation to feel free to reach out. Let me know if I can help you with reaching your goals, answering a question, sharing lessons learned in my experience or even just an ear to listen. I’m here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🥂 InstaFriends - for 2019 I wish you nothing but happiness, and in it’s occasional absence, the clarity to see it’s inevitable return. 🤗

  • “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” – Virginia Woolf ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Food and travel, travel and food 🥘. One cannot exist without the other. Whenever I think of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had, I see this image of Maria in my head and I can almost smell and taste the incredible sopes she made each morning. I could eat at this restaurant every morning for the rest of my life and now I’m earning 3X points every time I eat at a restaurant with my @WellsFargo Propel® Card, I have zero guilt about it 😁  #LifewithPropel #ad
