The Perfect Happy Hiking Playlist
Most anything becomes a lot more enjoyable when you have the perfect playlist to listen to in the background. That’s why I have created playlists for almost every mood I could possibly be in. When it comes to hiking, I think it’s best to have an overall happy playlist, something that makes you feel grateful to be out in nature and that puts a little pep in your step. A hiking playlist is especially useful if you are someone who hikes alone. Hopefully, this playlist consists of the perfect mix of songs you already know and love, as well as songs that you will come to know and love. You…

Brasstown Bald: Hiking Up Georgia’s Highest Peak
Brasstown Bald has been sitting on my list of must-do hikes for months now, and I figured it was finally time to be able to cross it off. I knew that with it being the highest peak in Georgia, the view would not disappoint, which is why it would be worth the 2-hour drive to get there from Kennesaw. I also decided I wanted to be able to watch the sunset from the mountain, so we left Kennesaw at around 5 pm in order to be at the top before the sun setting at 7:45 pm. The Brasstown Bald Hike: When you first discover that the hike is only 0.6…

How To Pack A Fun Capsule Wardrobe
One of the ways to make your packing easier and more sustainable is by curating a capsule wardrobe. By definition, capsule wardrobes are typically minimalistic and neutral, but that can sometimes block you from expressing yourself through your clothing.

I have provided some tips on how to pack a fun capsule wardrobe. “A capsule wardrobe is a minimalist collection of clothes that can be put together in different ways to cover a variety of outfits and occasions.” Capsule wardrobe.

Georgia’s Little Grand Canyon – Providence Canyon
Did you know that Georgia has its own little Grand Canyon called Providence Canyon? It’s true, but don’t let the term “little” fool you. Providence Canyon covers over 1100 acres, and its natural beauty is unmeasurable, making it one of Georgia’s best and most unique hikes. How Was Providence Canyon Formed? Providence Canyon is actually the result of poor farming practices in the late 1800s when farmers cut down too many trees to make for more farmable land. The lack of trees made the land more vulnerable to soil erosion, so any small ravines already there continued to get deeper and deeper with each instance of heavy rainfall. Where Is…

What to do in Salt Lake City As A Young Adult
While a lot of what makes Salt Lake City a great spot has to do with what it is nearby, it also has a lot to offer within the city. As a young adult, I was pleasantly surprised at how much there is to do in SLC that appealed to me. These are a few of my favorite attractions that I got to experience on my trip: 1.) Visit High School Musical School in Salt Lake City! As someone who was a young girl in the early 2000s, this was definitely one of my favorite parts of the whole trip.

4 Adventurous Day Trips from Salt Lake City
I recently went on a trip to Salt Lake City, Utah for the first time ever, and I learned that a lot of what the city has to offer is actually outside of the city. What I mean by that is that if you are staying or living in SLC, you are just a day trip away from some really great destinations. During my stay in SLC, my boyfriend and I drove to four locations, each very different from the last, which ranged from being 45 minutes to an hour and a half away from the city. Here are the four adventurous day trips from Salt Lake City that we…

How Not To Hike Stone Mountain
Stone Mountain located in Atlanta, Georgia is a famous mountain with a great view (if you can make it to the top). I had always heard it was especially beautiful if you could wake up early enough to reach the peak by sunrise. After hearing about it, I really wanted to try it out. After all, I sure do love my Georgia hikes. However, I am the complete opposite of a morning person, and it was also difficult to find someone who would agree to do such an early hike on a random day. Therefore, it took me a very long time to finally make the journey. Then I had…
