The Joyride 10 is a great kayak! It has a slightly raised seat, making it more comfortable for sitting for hours on the water, and is wide enough that you don't feel cramped, providing extra stability on the water. It features a waterproof compartmen...

I am a frequent but not very great disc golfer. I mostly drive with tomahawk throws, and I typically use the 156g Daedalus disc. I love it! I can control its flight pattern to weave between trees, and it is a lot of fun to throw with! Its lighter wei...

An obvious need, who doesn't love leaving fun messages and cute drawings on the face of the planet for all to admire?! I like to write uplifting messages on my small neighborhood road, or take it to the park and make fun doodles to entertain park goe...

A great way to combine fun with physical activity! It takes some practice to learn how to do it, but once you learn, it is a blast! You can also use them with your arms for a great shoulder workout! With practice, you could learn tricks and even earn...

One of my favorite places to go growing up! This park is great because it offers a spacious, sandy beach, camping, a concession stand, woods you can explore, and even a creek that features a clay deposit that kids LOVE to play on like a natural water...

So many stairs! But so worth it. About halfway up, I saw 3 deer climbing in the woods beside me, and the lookout points are really nice! You can also hike to and from the dunes. A fantastic little spot to spend some time exploring!

Quay makes such cute sunglasses! My best friend has given me a few styles and I love them! She even found me rainbow shimmer heart sunglasses, which are absolutely perfect for me! Can't forget the shades, no matter if you're out at a beach or feeding...

I got this strapless/convertible strap one-piece from Target, and I feel like a vintage movie star in it! I like the straps crossed in the back, so it is a cute girlie silhouette. The runching in the torso is a super cute detail, too! I have bought n...

I have a Lulu's skirt that I get a billion compliments on every time I wear it. It is super lightweight and flows in the wind but doesn't blow up; it feels like I am floating in a summer dream. It is a maxi length, so appropriate for weddings, family...

Got these after seeing my uncle wear similar shoes for years, and then my aunt, and then my cousin got them, so I decided to give them a try. They are so comfortable! The straps have dual velcro adjustability, so if you have different-shaped arches, ...

Super comfortable hiking boots. They keep my feet warm and dry all year long! I disc golf and hike in a lot of local Michigan parks and the terrain can be anything from flat, dry turf to slippery fallen leaves, sand, mud, snow, or ice; these boots ke...

This glossy lip balm is so nice! I have the pink grapefruit shade. The color of the tube is a bubblegum pink shade, but on application, it is a much nicer, subtle pinky mauve shade. So pretty, and easy to swipe on and go for a hydrating, like-your-li...

This sunscreen never leaves me sunburnt, doesn't leave any of the dreaded white residue when applied, doesn't leave you feeling greasy, and even though the product is shimmery, the shimmer is super subtle on application- it doesn't look glittery on s...
