There’s no such thing as a dreary day by the beach. When it’s drizzly, it’s just because the sun’s slightly out of reach. Here’s to loving the drizzle & knowing summer is waiting to pop out from behind the clouds... Regardless of the weather, grab your board & dance with the waves. 🌴🌈🤙 • • • • #california #beachday #surfing #socalgirl #stormy #optoutside #saltwater #pacific #happyplace #instagood #surfergirl
🌴 Blue skies. Summer sun. Time to wander. Time to wonder. Time to run. Venice, I love your vibes. 🌴 #CaliforniaDreaming #Home #Scenes #BlueSky #LookUp #SoCal #BeachTown #travelgram #Instagood #HappyPlace
Today, alongside many other Kiwis, I'll be wearing black. ▪️ The weather outside right now (stormy, cyclonic, icy-cold) seems wildly contextual considering our reasons for donning dark colours. ▪️ I'd like to challenge all women, & men - especially those in leadership positions - to stand up to harassment & speak out against it today & every single day. ▪️ As a mother of a young daughter, my dream would be for her to be awarded the exact same opportunities as the boys she's currently studying beside as children. ▪️ My dream is not a reality. Yet. ▪️ I know from my own journey that there will come a time when my girl becomes aware of her shape, of the fact that she isn't supposed to speak up, & she will hide pieces of herself away for fear of being "too much" of something that men want/don't want. ▪️ It's a harsh reality. But it's a reality nonetheless. ▪️ We can change this though... in moments big & small. All of us together can call time on non-equal treatment. ▪️ Huge THANKS go out to many today. Most are nameless, working tirelessly behind the scenes. ▪️ You're all my heroes today. ▪️ #metoo #metoonz #timesup #courage #girlpower #equality #equalpay #quotestoliveby #girlswithdreams #womenempowerment #equalpayday #lovewins #cassieroma
It’s wintertime here in New Zealand & my UGG Boots & sweatpants are well & truly out for the season. 🌴 The last few nights have been cyclonic. Wind, rain, trees felled & more! But, we’re lucky & safe in our home. We have water & power. We have warm blankets & cuddle up knowing we’re loved. 🌴 Right now though, my Californian heart is longing for some sunshine, pool-time, & vitamin sea. 🌴 Here’s to summertime in Cali. Dreaming of toes in the hot, silky sand of Venice. Here’s to home. Here’s to beloved. Here’s to BBQs. And here’s to memories yet unmade. 🌴 #california #summertime #home #optoutside #travelmore #californialove #happyplace #livehappy #sandiego

🦋 Maya Angelou was the first poet & thought-leader I remember taking not just to heart - but to soul. 🦋 Her words & ideas crawled into the very fabric of my being without friction or question. 🦋 On her birthday today, I’d like to celebrate her wisdom, strength & courage. 🦋 May we all be a bit more like Maya each day. May we all live & breathe a pure kindness. 🦋 “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” 🦋 #mayaangelou #kindness #feminism #poetry #equality #trailblazer #strongwoman #hero #wordsmith #legend #inspirationalquotes #kindnessrevolution
🌊 Wintertime wanderings. Lone-wolf adventures. Seaside introspection. Grey musings. Beautiful memories. California coastlines. Home. 🦋🗺🙏 —————— —————— #california #oceanview #scenes #surf #optoutside #manhattanbeach #myhappyplace

I’m Old(ish). Lately I can’t seem to muster the oomph I need to get to the gym 3 x weekly like I used to. Long runs have turned into ambling walks where I look at flowers & other assorted flora. …
