The Other Side of Social Media with #HalfTheStory

September 7, 2017 Adrianna Naomi
The Other Side to Social Media with #HalfTheStory

As beautiful and marvelously curated as someone’s Instagram and social media feeds may seem, their lives are far from perfect. Trust me. One of the many downsides to social media is how at times we find ourselves comparing our lives to others based on what they’ve published on their social media profiles. It’s easy to fall into this trap but when you think about it, it’s even easier to snap out of it once you realize what others are posting and publicizing on their social channels is only half of the story.

Let’s be real, a lot of it is a front; a small portion of their lives which they want others to see, but never the full picture. How do I know this? Because I’ve been on both sides of the coin. I’ve had very rough days and all I’ve posted have been positive thoughts and gorgeous images on my feed, and I’ve also found myself looking at someone else's feed and playing the comparing game, to later find out their lives weren’t as perfect as they portrayed them to be.

My Thoughts on Present Day Music Festival Culture

August 23, 2017 Adrianna Naomi
My Thoughts on Present Day Music Festival Culture

I should’ve written this post a long time ago. In fact, I'd been meaning to write this piece since summer 2016 but sometimes we receive an idea without being fully prepared to materialize it as we should. It happens.

I could say I’ve had my fair share of music festival experiences. It's not like I’m throwing in the towel anytime soon but I’ve traveled near and far to partake in them and I’ve also had the opportunity to experience them as a local. 2017 has been the first year where I’ve only attended one music festival for a day since I started attending these when I was 21. This has been due to various reasons, one of them being the subtle shift I’ve noticed in music festival culture due to the unimpeded commercialization of these events.

Whether in Puerto Rico, the US, or Europe, music festivals allow for culture to be redefined in the sense of unifying and breaking down social barriers. Chaos, drug abuse, and all negativity aside, these festivals provide the space for people from different socioeconomic backgrounds, religions, political views, and walks of life to come together and experience the music, the art, and the beauty of self-expression in community.

Unfortunately, social media has shown me a different side to music festivals. A side where people in attendance seem to be way more interested in the “scene” rather than enjoying the music and immersing themselves in the festival’s overall uplifting experience. It’s a pity. At the end of the day, to each his own but before festival season comes to an end (there’s still a ton to look forward to) I’d love to share a few thoughts on why I fell in love with music festivals in the first place and my honest take on what I’ve witnessed regarding present day music festival culture.

If You’ve Been Looking for a Sign, This Is It: 7 Reasons Why You Should Travel Solo

May 9, 2017 Adrianna Naomi
7 Reasons Why You Should Travel Solo

I’m currently on a 6 and-a-half hour flight back to New York and I couldn’t be happier. Today’s the last day of a 5-day solo trip to Madrid which I booked about a month ago and it’s been a truly unforgettable experience.

For the longest time, I’ve been craving to travel on my own but for one reason or another, it hadn’t worked out. At last, I can proudly cross this one off of my bucket list!

I have to admit, traveling alone requires some type of courage; it demands you to go at it with an open mind and an unquenchable thirst for adventure. If you can relate to this but are still on the fence about booking a solo trip, below I’m sharing 7 reasons why you should give in to this desire and make it happen. Take it from my personal experience.

My Hair Painting Experience at O&M NYC

November 23, 2016 Adrianna Naomi
My Hair Painting Experience at O&M NYC

Have you ever paid for a beauty service and the end result turned out to be light years away from what you wanted and expected it to be? This had been my experience with hair color, ever since I moved to NYC until I met Brianna Noelle – my “fairy hair mother” – at Original & Mineral NYC.

Let’s rewind to fall 2014. I wanted to be a platinum blonde. I wanted someone to turn my dark, thick Puerto Rican hair into a gorgeous platinum blonde mane, Khaleesi-style. The result? I still cringe at the site of this photo.

I had done my research and due diligence, I thought I had found the perfect salon in NYC to turn my platinum blonde dreams into reality! As you can imagine, I ended up with hair trauma, taking me two full years to grow out and bring my hair back to a natural healthy state. Now, let’s fast-forward to present day miracles.

Lovers, it's almost been 2 years since I went back home to Puerto Rico and I can't wait to return in July to see my friends + family, and to lay on the beach like a fried codfish fritter (obviously!) Puerto Rico's food, people, culture, music, and breathtaking scenes of absolute paradise are by far the best reasons why you should plan a trip to PR this year and visit @seepuertorico http://www.seepuertorico.com/en/promo/ for more info on how to make it all happen. Who's with me? 🇵🇷 #sponsored #puertoricoready #paradise #discoverpuertorico #seepuertorico
#AffirmationMonday: “I am patient, kind, and compassionate with myself.” The relationship we have with ourselves is the longest relationship we’ll ever hold on this existence. We can be our best friends, greatest supporters, and allies OR opt to be our worst enemies. 🤔

Self-love gets tricky when we let our negative self-talk, fears, and insecurities get in the way but it's up to us to catch and stop ourselves from going any further by noticing when our thoughts derail in this direction. 💭

Like waking up from a bad dream, become aware of this and understand that these are all mere delusions. We ALL possess boundless strength and an unlimited potential to overcome any given obstacle which comes our way. 🙏🏽💕 #AffirmationsWithAdri #AffirmationoftheWeek | 📸: @benjaminbenson

#AffirmationMonday: "I release my need to control the future. Instead, I simply focus on allowing the BEST to happen!"⠀
⠀
From February 21st through June 10th I completed my 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training and a 50-Hour Extensions program with @corepoweryoga. This weekend was my 1st round of intensive training and auditions, culminating with round 2 on June 24th. ⠀
⠀
Through this time period, I've not only witnessed myself change, grow, and evolve, but I've also witnessed the transformation of all the awesome humans who embarked on this journey with me (I'm so proud of you all!)⠀
⠀
To anyone who's in the thick of a big transition, an inner transformation, an audition, waiting to hear back from a job interview, or going through any type of trajectory change in your life 1) TRUST that whatever the outcome is, it will be for your greater benefit 2) FOCUS on doing the best you can with what you already have and 3) ALLOW life to happen. You've put in the work and planted your seeds; believe with all your ❤️ that your efforts will flourish exactly as they should. #affirmationoftheday ⠀
