Monica Ruiz

Originally from the mountains of Northern California, this island/city girl loves getting lost with Mother Nature as much as wandering the Marais in Paris. Collage artist, blogger and animal lover, she lives in Honolulu, Hawaii with her surfer boyfriend and three kitties. Seeing the sun rise or set, yoga at home with Lana Del Rey, naps, and eating good Mexican food are just as important to her as traveling, creating art and writing, as well as maintaining healthy connections with the human and animal spirit. My mantra: "JUST BREATHE" / My sign: LEO WITH AN AQUARIUS MOON AND SAGITTARIUS RISING / My spirit guide: MY LATE MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER AND MY WILD UNKNOWN TAROT DECK / My style: City-bohemian/island-rebel-yogi / My guru: THE UNIVERSAL COSMOS AND GABRIELLE BERNSTEIN / My healing: PARIS, ANY TIME AT THE OCEAN OR AT HOME WITH MY 3 Cs: CATS, COFFEE AND CRYSTALS
