I put the Farm to Feet snow socks through a serious winter gear test during a 3-day dogsledding expedition and a 24-hour stay in a remote cabin on Otter Lake in the Yukon. From mushing a sled to sleeping in near zero temps, I wore these snow socks nonstop. They’re hands down the best snow …

I’m a carry-on traveler. Rarely do I check luggage. On my recent 9-day trip to Italy I traveled with carry-on roller bag and backpack. That’s my usual travel gear for a weekend up to a two week trip.

What’s old is new again – right? Happens all the time with fashions, decor and TV shows and movies with remakes and new twists. For years when I lived in San Antonio, a couple of friends and I would meet on Sundays at Cafe Salsita for “greenie brunch.” Greenies we’re Dos Equis beers. There were … Continue reading

The tri-blend knit is made of sustainable materials – 42% recycled polyester, 30% organic cotton and 28% hemp. United by … Continue reading
I love small town coffee shops and Coffee Bear is a cool two-story coffeehouse in Silverton, Colorado. They have the only rooftop deck in town. If you want to go where the locals go, this is the place locals go for coffee. While staying at the Wyman Hotel for a couple of days adventuring in … Continue reading
I’m a sweaty gal. Always have been. Growing up in the South I always heard girls glisten, not sweat. But, I’ve always been the girl who sweats buckets. Folks often say to me sweating means your body is ultra-efficient at getting rid of toxins. Small consolation for always turning into a sweaty mess when the … Continue reading
This place is filled with faces, creatures and cartoon figures. It’s weird yet wonderful. This is a place to let your imagination run wild as you discover different images in the rocks.
