This world is treacherous ⚡️ If you take a close look in the second photo, I’m smaller. My arm is skinnier, my thighs are slimmer, and I physically look 10 pounds lighter. This is actually a real thing that people do on a daily basis to create this false sense of reality that so many people are falling for. . I did this adjustment in a matter of minutes. I downloaded the @facetuneapp, uploaded a photo, and made three tweaks. There was even an option to whiten your teeth, brighten your eyes, and make your nose smaller. What the actual fucc... . Why can’t we just live in a world where every part of us is enough? I know it’s not that easy, but maybe by shedding some light on the subject, it’ll show you that not everything is as it seems on here. I know, I know - I say that a lot, but it’s true. And it’s up to us, the real us, to set the standard ❤️ #loveyourself #selfloveclub #instagramvsreality . Original photo by my talented friend @danielle_lopez.18 📸
Had so much fun frolicking around SoCal this past weekend, visiting fam, and showing @codyvanorden my home away from home...the little bit of sunshine didn’t hurt either 🌤 But, time to head back to snow, freezing temps, and dreaming of days that look like this 💦 #doingthings 📸 @kimmieeeg
Let the wedding weekend begin! We love you, @lynseyshea ❤️ #thenewestbradybunch
From the moment I learned to box from the guys at @likeironstrong, it’s become one of my favorite workouts EVER. So whenever I travel, I always look for a boxing-inspired workout. Thanks for the great sweat @boxhausoc 🥊 #thesweatlife #GIRLGETAFTERIT #doingthings
From 6 degrees to 56...I’ll take it 👌🏼 #TWRtravels
Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. And constantly being on this app is a good reminder that not everything is as it seems. People hurt. Life’s hard. And sometimes you fall apart. So this season, instead of getting caught up in someone’s “perfect” life or frustrated with someone’s actions, take a second to step back and trust that they are doing the best they can in the moment that they are given. Compassion can go a long way ❤️ 📸 @lomagee
⚡️ New Blog Post + Giveaway Alert ⚡️ My experience with CBD definitely started slow...it took my mom AND my dog to start using it before I even considered it 😂 Will it get me high? Is it legal in Montana? Does it even work? These were the questions that continuously popped into my mind and made me too nervous to give it ago. Then, I saw that one of my favorite local shops @spruceandhoney was carrying CBD products this past summer and finally decided to give it a shot. . Flash forward six months, and my experience taking CBD thus far has been nothing but positive ✨ So I decided to share a new blog post that talks about my personal experience, what I use CBD for, and a few products I’ve been loving lately (link in bio) ⚡️ . And to celebrate, I’m partnering up with @spruceandhoney to bring you a CBD giveaway where you could win a @plantpeople Calm supplement and a @mender.shop CBD lip balm 💯 All you have to do is: 1. Like this photo and follow @thewellnessrookie_ and @spruceandhoney 2. Tag a friend in the comments below 3. BONUS: tell me why you want to try CBD in your comment The winner will be chosen this Friday. BUT the best part? Keely is extending a 15% discount to anyone who stops by @spruceandhoney and shows them this post 👏🏼 Can you say “stocking stuffers?” #CBDoil #wellnessfromwithin #hempforhealth
You don’t really know me, unless you know that I... Dance everywhere I go - just ask @codyvanorden 😂 Now, your turn! Finish the sentence below and let’s get to know each other ✨ #flossin 📸 @danielle_lopez.18
Just happy to be here 🎿 #livebig #GIRLGETAFTERIT
Nothing deep today, y’all 🤷🏻‍♀️ Just dropping in to say that I miss running...I’m such a fair weather runner that it’s almost nonexistent for me in the winter. Oh well. Ski season should fix that ✔️ 📸 @kimmieeeg #tbt
It’s strange how we never really appreciate our health until we no longer have it 💫 I say this because I came down with the flu yesterday and had one of the worst 24 hours I’ve had in a really long time... I won’t get into many details, but what I experienced was debilitating 😵 . It’s funny how the Universe gives you a slap in the face sometimes like “Hey, slow down, take care of yourself, drink water, tune in.” You know, all those little things. . Well, whatever the Universe was trying to tell me, I heard it loud and clear - never take the power to move, breathe, and live well for granted ❤️ #GIRLGETAFTERIT 📸 @nicolewild_photo
