Rad Livin’: Meet Lindsay Perry

Thursday // May 15 // 2014

Lindsay is free. So free in fact, that just by looking at her, you feel free yourself.

Artist, singer, model, surfer, Lindsay Perry, is livin’ proof that if you go for the things that light up your soul, you can create a life filled with creativity, freedom and bliss.

Her authenticity and rad designs combined to create LINDSEA.com

I remember first stumbling across her site about a month after Don’t Tell Summer launched. She had just worked on the FOAM x Billabong collab and I sat in front of my computer with the biggest chills; scrolling through her blog and reading about the Euro trip, I felt inspired. Lit up. That free, fearless, feminine energy is what it’s all about.

Doing what you love: The Universe digs it

Tuesday // May 13 // 2014

Following your gut in a situation can be hard when all evidence pointing to the fact that it will work out is in a feeling… but do we ever really know what the future has in store? The future is unknown territory, and so it is up to us to choose whether we want to go into the unknown from our intuition or from fear. When you go into the unknown from a place of fear or a place of projection, you come up with a list of ways on how the future will be safer by going down that path. It seems safer because you think that you can plan out how the future will unfold. We don’t really feel safe in the outcome, we feel safe believing that the unknown will be less unknown.

How to Get Your Positive Mojo Back

Thursday // May 1 // 2014

Have you ever gone from being completely positive and trusting that all is good, to then find yourself being brought back into fear?

Life circumstances and engrained beliefs that I thought I moved through surfaced for a final clearing, and I didn’t see it coming. You don’t normally see fear coming but when you feel pretty in control of your mental state the majority of the time, it can come as a bit of a shock. I wanted to snap my fingers and be back to where I was, but looking back to how positive I was made the fear feel worse. The best thing I did was to take it day at a time and when that seemed too much, moment at a time.

Rad Livin’: Meet Brooks Dame

Thursday // April 24 // 2014

You know that feeling you get when you’re with your friends on a road trip, your favourite song comes on, and you look around feeling completely grateful for being exactly where you are? That’s how I felt the first time I watched one of Proof’s video blogs.

They were open, honest and real.

They were passionate, adventurous and collaborative.

They spoke as if anyone who watched their videos were an old friend.

Proof is a an eyewear company whose products are made from sustainable wood. They’re passionate about doing good to mother nature, giving back to those around them (a portion of every purchase goes to a good cause) and living a positive lifestyle. Aside from their awesome eyewear and charitable efforts, what instantly draws you into Proof Eyewear is the genuineness of the men behind the brand, the Dame brothers.

Doing what you love: Why wait?

Tuesday // April 22 // 2014

When you think about doing what you love, fear or doubt might come in, but you usually believe that you will go for it at some point in time. Believing that it will happen in the future takes the pressure off the current situation, but if you know that you would love to do something, why would you wait until an unspecified time to finally do it? What if that time never comes because you are always too afraid, or you continue to push it more and more into the future?

Sometimes we believe that if we put our bliss aside, it will benefit us in the future by providing even more bliss. But… like attracts like remember? When you do something that you love now, your future will be more aligned with what you love because you will be in positive, blissful energy. Rather than putting your bliss on hold for hopes of a more blissed-out future, follow it now by doing what you love. Continue Reading…
