A very happy 21st to my not so little brother @thevillainjohn! I’m so thankful we got to celebrate you today together. Life is short but as we get older we get the joy of spending time together more often and it’s wonderful to see the life you’re creating for yourself, I’m proud of you! ❤️🎂 #liveauthentic #livefree #adventure #summer #blogger #lifestyle #throwback #details #lifestyleblogger #hippie #theflourishinghippie #birthday #happybirthday #happy #goldenhour #portrait #makeportraits #21stbirthday #wedding #weddingphoto

And just like that another fiery Leo turn around the sun and another year wiser, hey 31! Tomorrow I’ll be sharing a recap of my first year in my 30s and my dreams for this next year. But first.. honestly was in a funk last night when midnight hit & earlier this morning about my birthday. I don’t want to get older but then I remembered to be thankful. I’m thankful that I got to live another lovely year; I have amazing friends, loving family where we all experienced new wonderful and happy moments together this year. Life is short and I refuse to be a grump today of all days! #liveauthentic #livefree #adventure #summer #blogger #lifestyle #ootd #details #outfitdetails #lifestyleblogger #hippie #outfitoftheday #theflourishinghippie #birthday #happybirthday #happy #goldenhour #selfie #leo #leoseason #horoscope #sunsign #firesign
A perfect summer night filled with a campfire, s’mores, music and singing, laughs and most importantly friendship! We even got to see a huge thunderstorm rolling in from a distance ⛈ it was everything I needed to walk away from planning, slow down, and enjoy the little things. #summer #summernight #summertime #happy #happycamper #campfire #smores #thunderstorm #friendship #lifestyle #lifestyleblogger #blogger #love #hippie #theflourishinghippie #thegnw #gnw #pnw #roamfree #liveauthentic #livefree #lifeofadventure #nature #staywild #adventure #westcoast

Just came here for Summer love! I’m alive and well! These last few weeks in my family have been insane; my beautiful sister brought the sweetest little baby girl into our world and I was MOH at my mom’s wedding in Cali. I am full of happiness plus planning the final pieces for our September Euro trip! 📸: @brian.liesse #pnw #roamfree #liveauthentic #livefree #fashion #nature #summeradventure #staywild #adventure #liveauthentic #blogger #lifestyle #lifestyleblogger #hippie #theflourishinghippie #smile #smiling #girlswithcurls #happy #festival #local #localfestival #summer #summerlovin #summerlook #weekend #weekendvibes
