BE AN EXPERIENCE COLLECTOR ๐ค In case you havenโt heeeeard, your girlโs moving to London for the rest of the year to work in international relations! ๐ฌ๐ง๐โจ โฃโ Since graduating undergrad, Iโve been intentionally collecting big dreams, experiences, and stories in this season of my life. ๐โ๏ธโจ Starting over in a city where I know no one, traveling to wonders of the world, throwing my head back in laughter 100 times with my girlfriends + wine, and now โ living in London. ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ๐ โฃโ Please, please, please be an experience collector. ๐ Why? Because it will grow you into the best version of yourself. Nothing is more valuable than self-development because nothing can take away *the person you have worked to become.* You can lose a job, a friend, a relationship, a home, comfort, or money. ๐ โฃโ But nothing can ever take away your tenacity, ๐ช๐ผ exposure to different cultures, ๐ ability to be alone, ability to start a conversation with a stranger, resourcefulness, a language you picked up, knowing how to heal your heart, ๐ or quick witty comments that make you relatable. ๐โโ๏ธ โฃโ And itโs always a choice to become that person, to collect opportunities that will develop you into who you want to become. ๐ช๐ผ๐โจ โฃโ When your security is based in what you have around you, you can lose it all. But when your security is based in who you are, youโll carry it with you forever, no mater what youโre walking through or where on this planet youโre standing. ๐

Saturdays in D.C. ๐๐ผ Picnics on the National Mall in the grass by the Capitol building. Thankful for grapes + hummus + puppy cuddles on a big blanket on a beautiful day in the city. ๐๐ณ๐๐ โฃโ However, more powerful than the government buildings in view was the love of old + new friends. Never, ever will I think Iโm above anyone who walks into my life โ whether itโs a friend I talk to throughout the week or happily laughing with someone for one afternoon. If youโre open + view everything as a clue, every single person will have something to teach you with their words or actions or story. Truly, thatโs the only way truth + hope has ever been spread. โจ

โจ Self care isnโt always face masks and buying yourself flowers. Sometimes itโs taking a moment to whisper to YOURSELF, โI will show up for you. I will make sure you have everything that you need. I will make sure that you have the fullest life. I will make sure that you make the best decision for you in that moment. I will make sure that you live in the fullness of this season. I will make sure you do what is healthy for you. I will make sure you enjoy the things you love. And I will push you to learn new things that you love about this world.โ โฃโ You are the only guaranteed person, the only one you can control to show up for yourself. So please, please do it. Be aware of you. Be strong for you. Be gentle to you. That is self love, and it will be able to carry you so, so far. โฃโ PS - my @elegantees clothing line (including this shirt) is 15% off today + @tradesofhope has products up to 40% off today! ๐ค

Just 2 girls wearing tops from my CLOTHING LINE! ๐ฏโโ๏ธ #EHxElegantees Elise is literally the sweetest for rocking one of the tops I designed to our girlsโ night last night (and for 100 other reasons). ๐๐ผ๐ โฃโ Feeling so, so grateful for: - cute rooftop bars with even cuter friends - friends who say โweโ and โusโ while talking about your situation - @victoriarosecooke getting all our girls together - women in my life who are the strongest support system - shrimp tacos + pink couches - laughing hysterically until you forget where you are

Turn your face to the light + decide to keep it there. โจ My word for 2019 was Expectant. Being expectant isnโt the same as having expectations. Expectations whisper, โTHIS should happen.โ Being expectant breathes out, โI canโt wait to see what comes my way.โ And I am so completely resolved to live my whole life with that optimism and outlook, no matter what is going on around me. I want to live my life trusting the process, knowing that all I have visualized, intended, and worked on is invisibly in the process of manifesting at the right time. Being expectant was a fun challenge at the beginning of the year, then is got really easy, and now itโs more difficult. If thereโs something youโre facing that is making it harder to be expectant, I know that itโs possible + important for the both of us! And my messages are always open to chat! โจ

Hi, Iโm Elisabeth ๐๐ผ I can usually be found in @lululemon leggings or high waisted jeans and heels (there really is no in between with me). ๐ My hair is usually a red tangled mess. ๐ฉ๐ผโ๐ฆฐ And I constantly feel behind on my to-do lists. ๐ โฃโ My first clothing line launched yesterday, ๐ Iโve been traveling the world my whole life โ๏ธ , and I started an ethical fashion brand called @tradesofhope that empowers women around the world. ๐ช๐ผ โฃโ Iโm an enneagram 3w4 + am trying to disconnect my self worth from my accomplishments. ๐ Having studied communication, Iโm quick + creative with words, which is great for my work + for affirming people but noooot a good trait to have when Iโm hurt/upset in real life. ๐ช๐ฌ (But we workinโ on that okaaaay! ๐) โฃโ I say all this to point out that everyone has so many layers + universes of contractions inside of them. โจ We are far too complex to adequately fit into these tiny squares + really know each other. But every username as a real human behind it, and Iโd wish that humanity could unite us even more in this space! ๐ So, letโs start now! Tell me a fun fact about YOU in the comments below! I would love to get to know you more + connect! ๐ฏโโ๏ธ
