Happy Earth Day!

My hometown beach, Sunset Beach.


What I love about the earth the most is the ocean, especially the beach. I love the unapologetic power of the waves crashing on the shore. The beaches near me have strong, rough waves especially the earlier you go. I would regularly run at the beach in the mornings, around 7 or 8am, with my fiance. Before the shelter in place we had grown our endurance to 6 miles. 


An Earth Day shirt I designed for my Graphic Design Website. Click Here to see it.


Now, although we are allowed outside for exercise I don’t feel comfortable staying out that long so we run 3 miles. I think this is a great way to connect with the earth that will at the same time increase your happiness and confidence. Running has helped me develop these traits, which to be honest I was lacking.


I had fun painting marker stones for my garden.

Since the beginning of shelter in place, being confined in my home has made me seek other ways to enjoy the outdoors in my yard. One of these has been attempting to garden. I planted carrots, bell pepper, cucumber and broccoli. I’m not sure if anything will grow since this is my first time but I had fun planting and painting my marker stones.

Painting the outdoors is a common theme now that I am stuck inside. Last week my fiance who is an artist, collaborated with another artist to do an Instagram virtual paint party with the theme being a wave. This Friday at 6pm join us as we paint the California state flower, Poppies. Click here for the link to the free paint party! Or search for @gi.zambrano on instagram.

What do you love about the earth?

Thank you,

  2. I love being by water too! I think this isolation period has made me appreciate the outdoors a whole lot more though. Because we are limited to one form of exercise outside per day, I notice things outside that I usually wouldn't have acknowledged.

  31. Sunset Beach looks like true paradise! Beaches are one of my favourite things about this planet too, nothing beats the happy feeling you get by the sea :) It's so lovely you've been planting vegetables and the marker stones are such a good idea and look so cute! A virtual paint party sounds like an amazing idea, and poppies are perfect for summer ♥︎
