MADE MY WEEK!! 😍💖Benevolent UK grafitti artist @doddz got in touch with me to surprise me with an AR-powered denim jacket! 🎁🥰 It comes to life with his IG filter 😩 He hand-painted it and has gifted his wearable art to @losangelesconfidential @officialgiggs @imladyleshurr etc. so maybe I am somebody??! I love thoughtful gifts, dogs and random people encounters so I freaked tf out when this hit my desk today. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Playing house with no rent ↔️↔️↔️🌿 At this point, it would be pertinent for @airbnb to run me a check. If you’re a first timer HMU for $40 off. I’ll show u the wae

Joy & Thee Stallion 🐎 I didn’t ride this beautiful guy ofc but rode the golden mare on the next few slides 🥰😍 gracias a @zeijc y @torres_equestrian_mx a través de @airbnbexperiences - I felt nothing but serenity and wonder as we wound our way through the city and up into the mountains, and then through the Ajusco national park on horseback. Yunuen invited us to dine with his family afterward, at a fiesta on the ranch. We climbed towers and tiptoed around gallinas with all the time in the world. I even drank wine, y’all. Me. 😂 At the end of the day, his stepmom wrapped warm corn tortillas for me to-go 🥰 It’s rare for me to feel this at home at a place I’ve never been, with animals I’ve just met. And the horses, too..🤓 PC: Paco 📸

Yeahhh, it’s a new season for me! 🦄 Only words can describe this 2-day shoot in México City: Wacky. Fulfilling. Whirlwind. Magical. Lucky. Blessed. Mexican ASL!!🇲🇽 My first production as the Brand lead could not have gone better. Major thanks to @tonyloftus and new friends @paakowessandoh & @dbwinston9 (among 20 others) for making my days and nights here! 😍😍😍😍

Not my traditional post, but an earthly experience I am extremely grateful for: tuvé la opportunidad, gracias a @airbnbexperiences y facebook y Díos de entrar en Temazcal y acercarme a mi mismo. Our guide took us up into the mountains to participate in a precious Mayan ritual of burning our worries and pain over volcanic rock and sweating/screaming out every bit of pain. We imagined ourselves as warriors, the four elements living around and in us and through us. We drenched and nurtured our bodies with fresh oranges and honey and agave from cut cactus. We deeply inhaled citronella and lavender and claimed everything we wanted in a pitch dark holding for 2 hours beneath the stars. I feel present. I feel centered. I feel more powerful than I’ve ever been. I feel scarred, and I’m grateful for the past that has taught me, and the future that is waiting for me. Safety and security and success are whatever I design. I strongly encourage everyone to participate in this, if you get the chance. Love. And move forward, the way a snake does. Never backward. 🥰
