14/14 Final day of the Challenge

Image
Final Countdown  As the year come to an end and I complete my 14 days of reels. I feel accomplished and eager for more! Creativity comes to me at a glance, if I act on it right then I’ll get it done. And like most things, if we put them off to another day most times it won’t be accomplished.  Here’s the final reel of the Fashion reel challenge  14 out of 14 day challenge In the midt of my posting I’ve seen so many great things happen with my engagement. Also an image of myself modeling has made it to People magazine.   Photo by  Mitch Santos   Suit by  Sene Sene, is a custom suit company that specializes in sizzles suits at the click of a button by using their smart fit quiz.  Sene Discount Tap the link above for a discount. :)  This was a fun shoot in the middle of Chinatown where the metro makes a stop near downtown Los Angeles.    Blessing to you all for the new year!  Love  G

Morning rituals.  Today as I sit on the top of a mountain. A guy walks up and says “sorry, excuse me. I have a morning ritual just to say hi to my friend Tony” which was the name of the person on the branch I was sitting on.  He tapped the beach and kept it moving. He’s at least 70 years old and he was moving so fast!  These little moments are what I live for. The realness, the truth in a subject.   Here’s the reel post from yesterday.  Day 13 out of 14 Love G

Sleek Sophistication  Yesterday’s outfit came out of pure randomness. I saw an inspo image on instagram of William Dafoe in 1999  Inspo Image   and decided to go for it. I didn’t have the exact coat, so I went with a wool blend coat from H&M.  Here’s the reel for the day along with the final image.   Day 12 out of 14 reel Image by  Mallory The watch I was wearing is from  Giantto   They reposted to their story as well 😎 Also, some more cool news that happened yesterday. I’ve worked with Klay Thompson often as a body double for a lot of his commercials. So seeing the final footage come out is always cool. Check out the latest project for Kaiser Permanente below.  Klay Thompson Commercial Thanks for watching and reading.    Love G 

Day 11 out of 14

Best yet!! As the day comes to an end and I reflect on all things. I realize that I am blessed beyond mesasure. To have amazing people around me and to have the freedom to create whatever life it is that I want to create.  Today’s fit was aspirational to say the least. I didn’t plan on doing this fit, it just kind of came about last minute. And I’m happy I did, because it’s my best yet!! Check out the fit

Sauna deep thoughts  As I sit in the sauna sweating out the toxins and purifying my body. I am reminded that’s it’s ok to be still and be present in the moment. Things happen to us daily and it’s our choice how we react to the things. I enjoy sauna meditations and stretching after a day of two a day workouts.  Todays reel below  Day 10 out of 14 outfit challenge Here’s some images from previous trips.  Enjoy! Love G

Fall in love with the mundane.  I’ve been an observer of things for a long time now. I tent to notice the little details in every moment. Simply noticing the light as it hits a palm tree. Or finding peace in the wait for the bus.  Here’s my reel for today.  Day 7 of out 14 Love G

Small moments are what matter most!  Today… even tho I journal outside of this blog. Today, I honestly did not feel like making a journal entry. But that’s the beauty of challenging yourself. Once you break through that barrier of whatever is holding you back, you’ll find out you can do anything you set your mind to!  Check out the reel I posted today.  PCH beach views I posted some amazing images capture by my good friend from VA  Daniel Brittain  <—- check out his work! Also adding more images here. Because really this blog is about showing more of my life and the things that go on behind the scenes.   Keep it simple. Keep it moving  Love G

Outside all day! Today was a vibe! Had the chance to kick it with some friends and golf all day long in Palm Springs. We went to  Palm Desert Country Club  in Palm Springs. Talk about an AMAZING DAY!  Weather was beautiful, felt great to get out of LA away from all the rain. On the golf course, so you know the vibes were emmaculate.  Here’s a couple of images from today.  Much love to  The Colony Palms Hotel  for the amazing hospitality. I’ll keep this entry nice and short because I’m currently at dinner with the homies.  Here’s my reel post for today.

Day 3

The journey is fun. If you stop to smell the roses.  The older I get, the more I appreciate the little things. The way the water splashes the ground as a guy waters his plants. How the sun hits the the top of the grassy fields. The leaves from the trees framing the stairs. The shadows on the side of one of my favorite coffee shops.  Images below :)  As I recognize these little insignificant moments it’s always a reminder to stay present in each moment.  Today was a rainy day in LA…. I know right? Rain? In Southern California? Yes it rains in LA! I had a business meeting so I decided to dress up and get right.  Check the outfit below! 3/14 day of fashion reels  Love G

Even though we all have many things to do in a day.  We will make time for the things that we value and care for the most.  In all honesty, I'm still figuring out my brand... through this journey there are no failures and that’s the beauty of it all! By embracing these new challenges as valuable experiences, I can adapt, improve, and ultimately achieve my goals. Remembering that building a strong brand takes time and effort, so staying committed to continuous learning and improvement will help navigate challenges and unlock new opportunities. And I’ve never been afraid of getting my hands dirty.  Here’s todays reels. I posted two today just for fun. Go check them out 🫢🏽 Day 2/14 challenge Side note. Here’s some random images that I took on my travels to NYC a couple of weeks ago. Comment below if you like them or comment on my 14 day challenge reel post.

In the end the goal is to grow as an artist continue to inspire.  My background is basketball. I was a professional basketball player in Europe for 11 years. So to say the least, I have I certain set of skills to diligently work at something!  This new challenge is posting a reel for 14 days straight about fashion, more so specifically men’s fashion. I’ve been lucky to model for high end brands like Ralph Lauren and more.   Me for Ralph Lauren :) This amazing opportunity has given me a sense of style and confidence in many ways.  With all of that being said, here’s my first post for the 14 day challenge to was out the year.
