Hujambo Africa!! I am SO very excited to explore an incredible part of the world alongside some hands-down incredible humans with the @cottononfoundation ❤️ Cannot wait to share this life-changing journey with you but in the meantime I am going MIA for the next little while... #CottonOnFoundation #SeeWantTravel (at Africa)

Thank you Sam, Rob, and Lachlan! #catcouture #typonotebook #giftcards #slothtote #cottononfoundation #typocompendium #tropicalflowerpattern #yassport Text on tote: Why I am a human sloth. Full time chiller. Hangs around. Naps all day. Hardly moves. Parties never.

Taking a moment to appreciate how blessed I am to have all the resources I need to live a happy & healthy life. I grew up surrounded by a loving & supportive family who gave me an education, a home & the pathways to reach for my dreams. It’s during this time of year, during the season of giving, that I think it’s important to give back. Let’s recognise the blessings we have & take the time to acknowledge that this time of year can be challenging for many people on this planet. This year I was lucky enough to travel to Africa TWICE with my incredible @cottonon @cottononfoundation family. Both trips were inspiring, grounding, eye-opening & forever life-changing. The @cottononfoundation ethos is simple, create change by empowering youth with an education. This Christmas, these pins are the gift that gives back. From providing clean drinking water to supplying books & bicycles to children who need it most. It’s simple, it’s easy & it’s life-changing. So I ask you, will you give back this Christmas? #COFAmbassador #GiftsThatGiveBack #CottonOnFoundation https://www.instagram.com/p/Brun0abgR-n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x2h4erz76gye
