SALTON SEA

Adventures

Sep 12

I had the opportunity to travel to the desert with a few of my favorite creative humans and explore the lost below sea level, the Salton Sea. We had amazing laughs as we baked in the 107 degree heat and took some gorgeous photos of our experience. Kelly of Little Fox Flower Shop provided us with some beautiful floral arrangements while Kim Egel designed some stunning pieces of jewelry to wear on our adventure. Wandering around and exploring new places with friends who have an appreciation for nature definitely makes me feel whole.

Find somewhere you think is beautiful and get lost.

Stonewall Peak: An Epic Day Hike near San Diego, California

This More-Than-A-Decade Old Camp Offers the Wild Isolation We All Need Right Now

FREE BIRDS: An Adventure in Downtown LA.

Rooftops, abandoned buildings, glorious lighting, fire escapes (complete with almost horribly gone moments with an all too clumsy friend), adventure and exploration at its finest—which you can confirm when, by day’s end, your already ripped boyfriend jeans are actually completely frayed to a point of no return.

Summer Fun at the San Diego County Fair

Summer is officially here and that means fun in the sun! One of my all-time favorite summer past times is spending time at the County Fair. What’s not to love!? Rides, games, concerts, animals, exhibits, festivals, and wacky foods that aren’t acceptable to eat any other time of the year. It is the perfect way to spend a summer day with so much to see and do you are bound to have a good time!
