BORN TO ROAM







The four gals over at Roam Hawaii are incredibly rad! They surf, create cool bits of clothing & sell it all out the back of an old milk van painted like a tiger on the North Shore of O'ahu! Epic. Check them out at www.roamhawaii.com

A LITTLE BIT OF SAGE

















Sage Erikson is personally one of the most influential female surfers of today. I love following her Instagram feed of fashion faves, & exotic travels around the world. So I was super excited to see her pop up on my Pinterest feed the other day, modelling some beautiful garments for the forever lovely Free People. Above are a few of the pictures from the Free People's blog! Plus a mini questionnaire - I never knew we had so much in common! Couldn't agree more about the Sushi Sage ;)

ROXY #DAREYOURSELF FINALS


So voting has kicked off! ARGHGGHHHHHHHH. A crazy few days lay ahead of trying to round up votes for an epic chance of a life time. When I look back to my first post on this blog & ramble on about the 'Let The Sea Set You Free' competition & winners of last year, & how i'd love to be like those girls I saw on youtube, never, ever, ever would I have dreamt that I was this close to winning myself. 
Although winning an incredible trip to Fiji, with the other 4 amazing finalists & Roxy athletes would be an absolute dream; I'd like to win this insane prize so I could do some good with it. When someone hands you an opportunity like this you've GOT to make the most of it. 
I've been blogging recently about a website I'm setting up with my friend, & we're so close to getting it ready, but with all the excitement it's been a toughy. We are still scribbling hard & doodling lots, so fingers crossed it won't be too long. 
I also mentioned in my video that one day I'd love to set up a charity for disabled children like my sister (who has Downs Syndrome) which I feel incredibly strong about. One day I'd love to have a centre or a club somewhere along the Cornish coast where I could set this up. Just to get children like my sister out there & ejoying the water as much as I do!
As some of you may know the very lovely Ann's Surf Cottage are promoting me through the voting stage, & I feel very blessed to have such a great team being so supportive! (Not to mention a free dress. How rad?!) 
But when I got to explaining to them why I entered the competiton it made me have a think why I find Roxy so great. And it's simple. I entered because Roxy makes you believe anything is possible. The smiles on the faces of their athletes & ambassadors make me strive to live a similar lifestyle. They promote looking after your body, healthy living, being socially responsible. They promote girls to be DARING, fun, natural, spontaneous. Yes, like any other brand they're also trying to sell clothes & boost their brand popularity, but, they don't do it by slapping a picture of one of their riders bum cheeks on their billboards, or a double page spread in a magazine! (I won't mention any names) Instead they post smiles, salty hair, & girls living their dreams.
Roxy is about friendship, about unity, about sisterhood. And that's why I entered the global #DAREYOURSELF competition. That's why I want to win. To be a part of the Roxy tribe, to inspire girls from all walks of life, & to make a difference on this wonderful world we live on.

If you want to check out my final submission for the +Roxy #DAREYOURSELF competition, I've posted it above for you lovely people to have a gander at! And below is the link for voting... I can honeslty say, hand on my heart, I would appreciate every single vote you put my way, because you're putting me one step closer to my dreams. Thanks a million,
