There’s something sacred about the beginning of a new week a chance to realign, to reset, and to remind ourselves of what truly matters. Lately, I’ve found myself navigating transition: finishing a temporary job, rebuilding routines, nurturing my relationship, and asking God for clear direction. If you’re in a similar space seeking strength, guidance, or peace for the path ahead this prayer is for you.

Los Angeles is one of those cities that always leaves me feeling inspired the perfect blend of creativity, style, wellness, and laid-back California energy. Whether I’m here for work, a staycation, or just soaking in the sunshine between meetings, I have a handful of go-to spots that keep me feeling grounded, energized, and creatively fueled. From beautiful boutique hotels to cozy cafés, scenic walk spots, and Pilates studios that help me reset, this guide covers all my LA essentials.

I get asked this question all the time—“How did you get into modeling?”—so here’s my honest answer and everything I’d tell someone who’s looking to break into the industry today. I was first discovered at 13 in Dallas, TX and signed shortly after. For several years, I had the opportunity to model for brands like Neiman Marcus, JCPenney, and more. But in my early 20s, I made the decision to step away from the industry and attend college. I needed time to grow, realign with my values, and figure out who I was outside of modeling.

When it comes to my beauty routine, my shower is where the foundation is set especially when prepping for a big shoot, casting, or runway. A strong shower routine is essential for achieving glowing skin, a polished look, and overall confidence. Whether I’m getting ready for a high-profile campaign or just maintaining my daily glow, these essentials keep my skin smooth, hydrated, and camera-ready.

If you're a model or working toward becoming one you know how important it is to have a makeup routine that’s both effective and efficient. Whether you’re hopping between castings, touching up in a car, or prepping for a flight, your makeup needs to hold up through long days, bright lights, and constant transitions.

Walking into the gym for the first time (or even the first few times) can feel overwhelming. The machines, the people who seem to know exactly what they’re doing, the unwritten gym etiquette it’s a lot. But if you’re feeling nervous, just know this: you are not alone. I remember my own journey feeling unsure of where to begin, intimidated by all the equipment, and wondering if I even belonged there. But over time, I realized that everyone starts somewhere, and with the right mindset, the gym can become a place of empowerment and growth.
