Hiking And Camping

My husband & I picked Handies Peak as our 1st 14er to hike together. This was a challenge, but I’m proud I completed it. I’m excited to share helpful hiking tips + must-have outdoor gear with you.

The best way to keep hiking outfits easy & cute is by starting with a pair of leggings & a trusty pair of boots. Then I top it all off with a light tee & fleece jacket.
My husband and I love hiking year-round, whether at home on our favorite trails, or discovering new ones while traveling. But there’s something extra magical about heading into the woods during fall. Fall in Michigan means the air is cooler, the changing leaves make everything glowy and golden, and honestly, it’s just more fun to dress for.  The best way I...
I’ve been on trails with almost every style of shoe but never one that was cute & preformed well until I found the On Cloudrock Hiking Boot. Waterproof, comfy, stylish & lightweight.
Hiking and me, we go way back.  I was raised in the middle of the woods...I mean truly, on acres of thick trees and rivers where hiking was just a regular afternoon of play rather than a planned out excursion.

Although beach season may be coming to a close, now's the perfect time to take advantage of allll the glorious Labor Day deals & snap up swim + activewear on sale.

Exhibit A: these cute shoes....
Hiking in near-constant drizzle is infinitely more comfortable when your legs stay dry. So when The North Face debuted a new version of my old Apex Flex jacket – ‘Futurelight’ — + a pair of waterproof hiking pants, I had to try.
A huge thank you to Backcountry and Shopstyle for sponsoring this post! I learned the value of waterproof hiking pants on our trip to Iceland, oh gosh...five years ago now? I didn't arrive in Iceland with waterproof hiking pants — quick-dry leggings are almost as good, right? — but after a few days of consistently wet legs, I became the...
The best & most unexpectedly wonderful shoes for spring are a sweet pair of Blundstone original chelsea boots! They'll bring out your inner puddle-jumping kid, too.
It’s springtime; the birds are singing louder, the sun feels warmer, and there is increasingly more light in the sky with each passing day. You’re about to go outside to soak up some much needed vitamins after the winter, and as you head to the door you slip on your favorite pair of boots. BOOTS? Surely, you meant sandals. Nope!
