Hiking and Camping is a great way to connect with yourself, nature, and others. I just got back from an invigorating two week in Alaska, embracing sleeping and wandering outside. Considering the weather conditions varied a lot, and I was pretty remote at times, good gear is essential! I'm pleased with what I brought along with me and here are some favorites (that definitely helped keep me comfortable)!
General Note: Technical...

Adventure into the Amazon Jungle
From what I can tell from the internet, solo traveling is on trend right now. That's not why I went ahead with it though. Now that I'm in my late 20s and on my way to 30 I've been feeling a bit "old." I KNOW that this is not old at all. I haven't done anything particularly adventurous in a long time yet there are lots of things I want to do, places I want to see... and I really have No Excuse not to do those things. There...

Osprey: for the "do it all" commuter
Life moves quickly, you want to multi-task, be healthy, work hard, play hard, find time to work out, look good, feel good.... Expectations are set pretty high!
I don't currently commute because I now work remotely from home, but I do travel occasionally for recreation or for work.
This week I've been spending most of the work week back at the corporate office and working from the new, more agile/modern space my organization just...

Lovely mini pouches
I wanted to sew something quick and enjoyable so mini pouches were put together!
The two tutorials I referred to: Heart Shaped Pouch Mini & Circle Zip Earbud Pouch
Hooray! Now, the little items that get lost in my purse are much easier to get to :).
Hoping more quick little projects help keep me a little more upbeat during this slightly gloomy winter weather. Stay Warm!

2016 New Years Resolution: Be Your Best Self
January is coming to an end and I'm already feeling really good about this year. At the end of last year I decided to make new years resolutions, ones that I feel really strongly about and am committed to see through. I've wanted to do resolutions in the past but I was not ready and was not serious about them.
As I've gotten older I've learned that many good things in life require a lot of effort and conquering challenges...

Project Life
Happy New Year!
I've been feeling extra nostalgic lately...I suppose now that I'm a year older, I have a little more years to be nostalgic about. Sometimes this nostalgia turns into feeling a bit blue and during these cold winter months I believe it's important to make more of a conscious effort to be happier and brighter.
The weekend after Christmas, Josh & I drove up to Illinois to visit his grandparents. I always...

Festive and Cozy DIY for Christmas
I wasn't feeling very festive when December first began, even though I had already started purchasing presents. Christmas shopping was festive activity #1.
Festive Activity #2 was brought on after visiting with a friend where they celebrated Christmas early (day before Thanksgiving) as that was the only time until 2016 that my friend (& his new wife) and his brother would be home. We helped decorate a beautiful Christmas...
