    • me out at a festival vs. me out in the world (when not living bathing suit life on a beach obv). you’ll notice there’s very little difference between the two. simple outfit, same ten year old rainbow boots, fruit socks. whatever.  i’m me in both photos. im comfortable both places. both with my internal energetic self and my external physical self. i’m the me i want to be, unapologetically. alex tells me how he appreciates that i’m “consistently weird” — that i don’t change myself for anyone or any situation. (he’s right). id love if you guys could help me understand something i just can’t grasp: #festivalfashion vs everyday fashion. i don’t understand the idea of *festival fashion*. the tie dye, fishnets, butts out (omg i’ve never seen so many butts in my life), flower crowns, animal ears, and whatever else. now hear me out— i don’t have a problem with these fashion choices at all. i think most of it is pretty damn wonderful! i enjoy how people find something that feels comfortable to them... something that calls to them that they can feel free and have fun in. and i’m not offended by a butt cheek or two. my problem or confusion with *festival fashion* is this: why does one get dressed this way only for a festival, but they won’t dress like this at home? what keeps them from expressing their true selves to the real world? why is this part of self and this inner desire only kept for these herd-like situations? alex got asked: “why are you not dressed for the festival?” (yeah really. sorry we didn’t get the memo that we were expected in a dress code). i can’t understand why someone is expected to *fit in* in a place where one is almost expected to be *weird*. when are we going to smash superficial societal expectations and just allow ourselves to be comfortable as who we really are... in every and any situation? no matter whatever *everyone else* is wearing? what’s the point of being different, to be exactly like everyone else? and why is one allowed to be different but ONLY if it’s different like everyone else? okay, i’m just rambling now... but can we all come together to support true uniqueness? because i plan to just continue to be me. #endramble #slowfashion

    • ms marlowe paloma got so many comments on yesterday’s outfit and her overall cuteness. total cost? 4$ maybe 5$ (and she stole my hat). i've been thrifting a good chunk of her clothes since i became pregnant. and often, her best outfits have been purchased this way. we do it because it’s the best environmentally ethical option we can find. but there’s bonus points of spending less and saving more money, avoiding fast fashion, sometimes supporting charitable projects (depending on the shop) and more. i don’t have a point to this post other than to try to lift a stigma and to hopefully to inspire you to shop secondhand first :) also i just love this tiny person so much and it excites me that i can start wearing some of the same tops with this tall leggy thing :) #secondhandfirst #marlowepaloma #ohdearflorida #ohdearplanet
    • it’s friday and all i can say is... this week i felt emotionally weighted. let’s call it a detox aftermath but it was rough. but i woke up today feeling bright and new. went to yoga. ate fruit. now sitting in sunshine. and tonight marlowe has a sleepover. in another lifetime that would have meant drinks and partying. for me now this means a second chance to place my awareness on the mat and grow myself. breathing is healing. grateful for this journey. today and everyday ✨🤜🏽🤛🏽✨ image from a laughing yoga session i did five years ago in magical india with magical people. contrary to western belief, most do not do yoga for physical exercise. there’s so much more to it than that... all that’s leftover are all the parts that i love most. and which challenge me most too. #ohdearindia #venusday #interconnected
    • one of the best lessons i’ve acquired in my growth process is the acceptance of all stages of my journey. less can be more. and there’s power in the rest. magic grows from it. if you struggle in the rest, please know, all things in life cycle. you do too. celebrate it. 🍃🌈🎉👯‍♀️ #ohdearindia (ps. approaching 30 years of friendship with this one. we’ve certainly cycled through. @lkcvt)
