Thanks to #sponsored Braid Balm by @thebeachwaver, my hair goes from braids to frizz-free waves overnight! No heat, no fuss, no grease — after applying 3-4 pumps of #beachwaver Braid Balm (that’s all I need!), all I do is 1) braid my hair into two braids and twist them into buns, 2) sleep in them overnight and 3) remove them in the AM...and VOILA — I have smooth, relaxed waves! I add more volume and texture to my waves by applying Shubie Surf Beach Spray to the mid-ends of my hair; made with sea kelp and coconut oil, the Shubie Beach Spray gives my hair a nice shine and soft finish! *Note: @thebeachwaver products are vegan, curbside recyclable and made with clean ingredients 🌿 #heatlesswaves #styleinspo #heatlesscurlsovernight #vegan #sulfatefree #parabenfree #recyclable #healthyhair

Mangia bene, ridi spesso, ama molto 🕊 (Eat well, laugh often, love much.) ——————————————————————————— Dreaming of summers past (and when I can -safely- go back to Italy 🇮🇹). It’s where I learned to make pasta al fresco, legit Italian meatballs, learned about natural skincare...and fell madly in love with the people and culture. If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would you go?

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer." - F.Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby . ☀️ #californiadreaming #500daysofsummer #sanfrancisco #goldengatebridge

🖤#Juneteenth. May we never forget that on this very day in 1865, enslaved African-Americans in Galveston, Texas were emancipated; this day commemorates and celebrates the end of all slavery in the United States. Still...we have a lot to learn as individuals and as a society. Still need to progress when it comes to mutual respect for all humans, not devolve. And we still need to grow within our hearts.

circa a few years back...we may not have floats and parades for a while but #onelove will always prevail ❤️🌈#pridemonth #oneracehumanrace #makelovenotwar #sanfrancisco

Aurora, CO: On 08/24/2019, Elijah McClain was walking home from the local store when the Aurora Police Department received a call about a “suspicious man” in the neighborhood. They were referring to Elijah. . Elijah, who was anemic, was wearing a ski mask to keep his face warm. Within hours of that call, Elijah suffered two heart attacks an “undetermined” cause after being apprehended by Aurora police officers. He died six days later in the hospital, his body battered and covered in bruises and boot marks. He was only 23 years old. . NO. Undetermined = Bullsh*t. It was reported that in the body cam footage requested by the McClain family, Elijah can be seen laying on the ground vomiting and begging the officer, “I can’t breathe.” Even after he was rendered unconscious with a carotid control hold, officers STILL injected Elijah with ketamine (a strong sedative), sending him into cardiac arrest. . The officers involved with Elijah’s case were never charged. The news around Elijah’s case was buried by 2019’s Thanksgiving holiday, shedding little light on and resulting in an inexcusable lax of further investigation into Elijah’s death. No. ENOUGH. Elijah’s story deserves to be heard. Those officers need to be brought in or brought to justice - they should not be walking around freely until a more aggressive investigation is held. I feel in my heart that sweet Elijah had so much more to give to this world. So much more. So did George. And Breonna. And Ahmaud. All of the countless victims with precious lives lost due to excessive force by police officers. . In my bio is a link to sign the petition urging city officials to reopen Elijah’s case and for a more in-depth investigation to be conducted; the McClain family deserves answers. Please friends, we need to commit to zero tolerance for injustice. Those officers had a choice...and they need to be held accountable for those choices. Right now is a crucial time to address police recklessness, fight systemic racism and advocate for human life. . Say his name. Elijah McClain. Rest In Peace, sweet Elijah. ——————————————————— #justiceforelijahmcclain #blacklivesmatter #colorado
