Headed up to Big Bear Lake a few weekends ago — and spent a few cozy days sipping hot cocoa at a little cabin in the woods, hiking through pine trees, and waiting for the snow. ❄️ When I was packing for our little weekend adventure, I picked up a couple winter jackets by @muddstyle to cozy up in this December. 🌲🍂 This caramel-colored corduroy has definitely become one of my favorite winter pieces for snuggling up in all season ☺️✨ Check out all the #MuddStyle looks @Kohls #ad
Out in the woods 🌲 #UOonYou
I always feel most at home among pine trees and sunshine -- mornings hiking in the woods and sipping oat milk chai out of my favorite thermos. 🌲 There was a light dusting of snow outside when we woke up in Big Bear, so I laced up my @ColeHaan #ZEROGRAND hikers and went outdoors to soak up the chilly November mountain air. 🌾 I absolutely love the Nordic style of these boots -- with the classic tan and navy tones, sherpa accents, and white-speckled laces that remind me of snowflakes. ❄️ #ColeHaanPaidPartner
My favorite breakfast in Portland: porridge with oats, toasted coconut, and seasonal fruit & jam, with a fresh grapefruit juice & coffee from @viviennepdx 🌲 Back to the PNW this weekend for a few more cozy days in Oregon 🌿🌾❄️
A life outdoors is a life well lived -- filled with hiking through pine trees and playing in the snow. 🌲❄️ #sponsored This year, I’m making a conscious effort to celebrate sustainably by cozying up in @rei ’s new sustainable line of garments and goods. ♻️💛 When you shop on REI.com, you will often have the option of selecting one of the following sustainability attributes: ↠ Animal welfare ↠ Fair Trade ↠ Organically grown cotton ↠ bluesign® : this logo on a material or product tells you that environmental, health and safety issues have been thoroughly addressed during its creation ↠ Recycled materials ↠ Forest Stewardship Council™ It feels so good to give mindfully this year, and to encourage the people I love to get outside more this snowy season. ✨☃️🧣 #REI #ConsciousGoods @shopstyle
I just love this time of year — and using it to refocus on a mindset of gratitude and peace. ✨ The holidays can be such a hectic time, it’s so nice to be able to set aside some time to reflect on the year and all the good that came of it, how much you grew, and how far you’ve come. 🌲 Headed up to @coloradolodge in Big Bear, California last weekend for much-needed time spent hiking, making pumpkin pancakes, and cozying up inside one of these refurbished Nordic-style cabins, only a few hours outside Los Angeles. 🍂❄️ #ad #MyHotelTonight
I’ve found that how I start my morning sets the tone for my whole day — so I’ve been starting it with a little self-love cleansing skincare routine: focusing on the natural benefits of manuka honey: which comes from the manuka tree, only found in New Zealand! Manuka honey is naturally anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and is also pH balancing. I’ve been using @kiwibotanicals new Honey Melt Facial Cleansers: which turns from honey to a light & refreshing foaming cleanser with just a little water. @kiwibotanicals also only uses sustainably-sourced manuka honey, and has: ↠ NO parabens ↠ NO phthalates ↠ NO mineral oil ↠ NO silicones ↠ NO animal testing (and certified cruelty-free by @peta ) #CleanSkincare #KiwiBotanicals #ad
Some thoughts I scribbled down in my sketchbook at an airport in Oregon a few weeks ago: It feels good and new to truly understand that everything in life produces growth. I feel like this page wont be eloquent or perfect and I’m learning to love myself in the same way, but aren’t we all? Surround yourself with people who make you feel like you’re coming home when you’re with them. Have excitement for traveling, but also excitement for rest, help others, slow down. Find 1,000 ways a day to spend less time behind a screen — I can assure you, daytrips and sight-seeing and reading paperback books and swimming in the ocean will be well worth the time away from your device. So with that: let’s write a little more and talk about ourselves a little less, get outside whenever we can, pull over to watch sunsets, and love the people around you a little better than yesterday. #ContaxG2 #35mm #California #PacificCoast

For the past year, @danaebdraeger and I have been pouring our hearts and souls into creating our own little shop: @solsticegoods 🌞🌿 Solstice is a sustainable home goods shop, and we just launched our first collection — The Desert: ten 35mm film prints shot in Arches National Park, Joshua Tree, and all over California, wherever we could find the most golden light ✨ For this first collection to celebrate the coming winter solstice, we’ve recognized that we’re in this magical season of celebrating light : a time for renewal and self-reflection. We ventured out to the most glorious & golden places we knew of, and created a collection of prints to reflect a mindset of gratitude towards the power of sunlight — to serve as little reminders to see the light in all things this time of year, and always. 🌎💫
Fall is always the season where I feel most creative: the colder air, drives up the coast or through the mountains, and colorful leaves, all inspire my creative practice this time of year. 🍂🌾 After weekends spent exploring, I always come back home feeling refreshed and ready to get back to work. 🎨 Especially during this busy season, I want to make sure I’m taking a step back to care for my body and health. Growing up, I always took elderberry to keep my immune system up during the colder months. ✨ @ollynutrition just came out with an Active Immunity + Elderberry Immune Support Vitamin, with Zinc, Vitamin C, and Echinacea — a coneflower used in herbal medicine, known for its antibiotic properties! 🍊I also love that these little vitamins have a Blood Orange flavor, and @ollynutrition does not use any artificial flavors or colors! Adding a routine of mindfulness for my body this fall to stay healthy ☺️ #happyinsideout #sponsored

I always love learning more about natural ingredients and their skin-restoring properties: especially when it comes to manuka honey! 🍯✨ I’ve noticed a few companies using this ingredient in their products, and wanted to do a little of my own research to find out why. Manuka honey comes from the manuka tree, which is actually only found in New Zealand, and is different than normal honey because of its anti-bacterial traits. 🌿 Manuka honey is also known to be anti-inflammatory, and pH balancing — great for healing acne and keeping your skin clean and refreshed. 🌞 I’ve been trying out @kiwibotanicals new Honey Melt Facial Cleansers: sustainably-sourced manuka honey based cleansers, which are free of icky parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, silicones and are cruelty-free! 💛 There’s 3 different types of melts that either brighten, nourish, or purify — with just a little water, the cleanser goes from hydrating honey to a light & refreshing foaming cleanser: for brightening up your skin and adding a little sweetness to your morning skincare routine. 🍂🕯 #KiwiBotanicals #ad
One of my favorite moments at Lake Louise last time we were in Banff: the weather had been wild, on and off snowflakes and sunshine. Loved this quiet moment when the sun peeked over the pines and glittered onto the turquoise water. ✨🌾❄️🛶 #ShotoniPhoneX
a couple outtakes from my favorite coffee shop in all the land, on my autumn trip home to minnesota 🌲❄️ what’s your go to coffee order? my favorite is a @spyhousecoffee special: an oat milk Carmella latte which has caramel and organic vanilla ☕️ ♡

S — can’t believe you’re 23, but at the same time I can. Your heart for others is beyond your years, as is your humble sense of self amidst success, as well as your passionate and creative spirit that inspires so many including myself. Endlessly grateful for your presence in my life, your encouraging words, and how you love me so well. You deserve to be celebrated every day. Love you to the moon Sam, happy birthday. 💛
