Winter Weekend in the Woods

Hi Lovelies! This last weekend Taylor and I spent a wonderful weekend in the woods near Mt. Hood. As always, we had an amazing time full of adventure and fun. We stayed in the quintessential mountain log cabin (built in 1937, charming, rustic, and oh so comfy), drank coffee at the river's edge, strolled through the snow to a hidden waterfall, and did a whole lot of snuggling by the fire. We always have so much fun and this trip was no different. Here are our Instagram reels from the weekend. Be sure to check out Row 4 to see pics of our awesome cabin!

Easy Hair Tutorial

Pinterest

This is my new go-to hair style for those lazy days when you just want your hair out of your face, but still looking good. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3, done! 30 seconds max!

All you need is a headband. Preferably use a headband that is not too tight. The tight ones tend to not stay in place. 

1. Place the headband on the crown of your head. 

2. Grab the loose hair below the headband. 

3. Tuck! Tuck hair wrapping it around the headband. If you have layers and some pieces fall, you can always tuck them on the sides of your head. This hides the headband a bit more. 

Voila! Easy as pie!

Adventure calling.

All I can think about is adventure. 

I must find it.

I need it.

Where is it?

I'm consumed by it.

I dream of it.

Where are you?

I'm melting without you.

I remember you. 

Sinking our hands in the sand together.

Running away giggling in the dark together.

Picking up sticks and fallen branches for the fire together.

Jumping, hand-in-hand, in the ice cold water together.

I look out my window and wonder, what are you doing?

Should I come find you?

Should I get up and go?

I want to.

I want to.

Let's break free together.

Run from monotony.

Fly away and explore the world, the state, the city

I don't care where, I just want to be free.

As you please.

Feeling like I want to do it my way today.

"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary."

Weekend Beach Adventure.

Had a wonderful weekend at the beach with my guy. We spent the weekend lounging in the sand and exploring the many beaches of the Oregon coast. It felt amazing to escape from the city and slow down to appreciate the simple joys in life. Here are a few Instagram snapshots from the weekend:

The ocean really is a mesmerizing thing.

Take me to the ocean.

Heading to the beach with my guy for a weekend getaway! Can't wait to feel the sand between my toes! Beach adventures ahead! I'll be sure to share when I get back! Happy adventuring!
