Girlhood over everything else ✨ According to a quick google search 85% of all solo travelers are female. Yes you did read that correctly! While traveling isn't limited to only women it definitely is a great way to feel empowered as a woman. I don't think l'd have half the independence or confidence that I do have without traveling out into the world alone. I'll never know if being a boy is boring but I can tell you l'd never trade girlhood and exploring this world in it for anything! Any guesses about what percentage of those solo female travelers have partners? I bet that will blow your mind too 👀

You + makeup = ??? It doesn't matter if you've worn makeup before xxx and don't now, if you didn't before xxx and you do now, if you only wear it going out, or if you'd never wear it hiking. What matters is that you wear it when YOU want to because YOU want to! I've spent a lot time over the last five years being grateful that I stopped wearing it because I felt like I had to, being criticized for when I did decide to wear it, and wondering if I'm too old to still like it. Truth is I've always loved it! It's hands on art project for me and I don't like that I felt negative ways towards it because I was sad. But I'm back and ready to GTFU and let make up be what I want it to be day by day and I hope you do too!

Hiking>dating. Just saying 🤷🏼‍♀️ Where are my single hiking ladies at choosing to spend their weekends hiking, watching sunsets, and being an absolute fiend for the outdoors? PS- please don't take this too seriously and just laugh because I couldn't believe my brain jumped to this when I was scrolling through my camera roll

But you never will be 👀🌎 Maybe this isn't the only thing you need to know but it's definitely something I wish I would have accepted and pushed myself to do sooner. I've gone out into the world alone countless times and can say l've never come home without at least a handful of new friends. Shoot, some of my closest friends came from me setting out on my own for an adventure. Life, adventure, love, and the magic of the world will pass you by if you wait for someone else to do anything so you might as well do it now. How many solo trips have you been on?

Call me crazy but it’s not all doom and gloom 🌎 A D I’ve always been blown away by renewable energy and I think it’s safe to say it’s making the impact it was meant to! Do you think of the future in the same way I do?

Results at the end 📸👀 It's not about how expensive, big, or how well known the brand is, it's about how you use the gear you have! Check the camera gear list in my bio for the lights! Sure I could have rented a strobe light or bought a light panel but we just looked around and created with what we had. Mahna wanted some edgy parking garage shots after the sun went down, we took turns posing and framing shots, we really did not vibe with the overhead street lights, Chas suggested a few outfit changes, and I grabbed the two lights we did have. The teamwork made it happen together but you can work this way on your own too and with whatever you have in front of you. You just have to stop and look around with a little more intention and an open mind. Who's gonna give this a shot? 2 silly friends: @Mahna • World Traveler @Chasity Hobbs

How can you Girl the F*ck Up? ✨ Yes, these are actual things that have been said to me multiple times and no they aren't the worst things. They have shaped and change me into who I am today in both good and bad ways. Unfortunately, the bad screams louder than the good and has caused me more than a few problems as an adult woman in this world. Breaking the beliefs and letting my inner child show me the excitement I used to feel for the things I love in life has not and will not be an easy journey, however, it's a journey I can't avoid going on anymore. I've been challenging myself for the last few months to be "extra" and wear the outfits and make up I actually want to wear even if I'll be "over dressed" or seem like a "pick me" because who cares? Like actually who does? You being YOU isn't something to hide from in ANY way. So I challenge you to wear an outfit you LOVE or that you've been saving for no real good reason and wear it to the store, the park, the airport, for a walk around the block, or literally anywhere. Take a photo and send it to me via dm or post it and tag me so l can hype you up as you Girl the Fuck Up! And share this with a friend who you think would love to GTFU!

This trip changed my life forever 🇮🇸 This was the first time I had ever left home to explore another country all on my own. I was coming off of a wild ten days in England where my best friend got married and honestly didn't plan a single thing except for booking the rental car and a ticket for the Blue Lagoon. I planned the entire trip in the parking lot of the Blue Lagoon a few hours after I landed in Iceland. To say that was a bad idea is an understatement. I wanted to go on this trip because I was so sick of waiting for someone else to join me. I was told a million different reasons why I shouldn't go by sooooo many people which only made me want to do it more. I also wanted to prove to myself that I could create around my travels without help because the person closest to me didn't think I could. Every chaotic moment, everything planned and unplanned, every photo taken, every smile and tear were all made and enjoyed by me alone on this trip and it helped me learn that putting myself and my dreams first isn't selfish, it's empowering. And the more you follow what works for you, the more people you find that will cheer you on and even send it on adventures with you. What countries have you traveled to solo?
