On a scale of first photo to the second… how are On a scale of first photo to the second… how are you feeling today? 😄🥴 ••• Coming into a new week, I’m a bit of a mix but here are a few of the best goal setting tips I’ve picked up along the way that get me swinging over to big smiles: 💭- DREAM BIG Let your wildest dreams and goals motivate and excite you to get through each day 🕺🏽- BREAKDOWN YOUR GOALS We often get paralysed when our goals seem too big but when you split them up into smaller stepping stones along the way, they become way more achievable 🥳- ACKNOWLEDGE AND CELEBRATE YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS Big or small 💛- LISTEN TO YOUR BODY Possibly the biggest realisation I had is that a day off can sometimes be more productive and help you get to your goals faster than trying to force yourself to be constantly productive when you’re simply not up to it.
10 THINGS I WISH I KNEW SOONER AS A CREATOR: ⭐️- it is never too late to create an account, launch a business, post a reel, chase your dreams… 🥲- stop comparing yourself to other creators 🍩- definitely don’t try to be someone you’re not. It is okay to be inspired by but being true to yourself is the way to go and a hell of a lot more fun. 🌏- give room for yourself and brand to evolve ⏰- consistency does not mean you HAVE to post everyday. If you can only post one time a week that is still being consistent! ❤️- stop worrying so much about what you think will perform well with ‘the algorithm’ and post whatever the hell you want 👯‍♀️- don’t chase the numbers/followers instead work on building genuine connections/community 🤑- stop waiting around for opportunities to fall into your lap, go create them for yourself! ⭐️- know your worth 🥰- don’t be an asshole ••• What is your most memorable experience that has come from the power of social media? Landing your dream collab? Making a new best friend? Finding the love of your life? Visiting an iconic instagrammable destination?? I wanna hear it all!!

Missing Mexico more and more everyday 🇲🇽 ••• Did you know Mexico was the first overseas trip I ever went on?! it was love at first sight (and bite 🌮🤤) and I can not get enough. Having to cancel my return to this beautiful part of the world in 2020 broke my heart but I guess distance does make the heart grow fonder as I am more determined than ever to make up for lost time next year and beyond! 📍 Teotihuacan, #instamexico ••• Where was/will be your first overseas trip?!

It’s what I love about photography; getting to experiment and play around, constantly learning. 📸🌏 #goproanz #goprofamily @goproanz ••• What camera would you like to try next?

Like a cape to a superhero, a good hotel robe makes me feel like I can conquer anything and that I did! 🏊‍♀️🏙 #ilovesydney #sydneysolstice ••• Would you rather stay snuggled up in bed or brave the cold for a morning dip?
