Your Nautical and Coffee Obsessed Best Friend: From Travel to Fashion and Everything in between
"A simple life is good with me. I don't need a whole lot. For me, a T-shirt, a pair of shorts, barefoot on a beach and I'm happy." ~ Yanni Active on Vacation Despite being athletic, I tend to have a love hate relationship with working out in my day to day life. Physically and [...]
"May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds." ~ Edward Abbey Black Cap Black Cap is one of my favorite short hikes in the White Mountains.

"Many a calm river begins as a turbulent waterfall, yet none hurtles and foams all the way to the sea." ~ Mikhail Lermontov Hiking the Outdoors Despite being a city girl, I do love the country.
