Perfect for beginner hikers who want to feel prepared without overpacking, and seasoned adventurers looking for durable upgrades.

After hiking for over 3 years in the PNW, here's a list of all the hikes I absolutely love! They contain easy-medium-hard hikes. Please always follow leave no-trace principles, stay on marked trails and don't forget to enjoy. Happy to answer any questions you may have.

As someone with sensitive skin, I know how tricky it can be to find products that don’t cause irritation. This list is all about gentle, budget-friendly skincare that keeps things simple, soothing, and effective

Since we spend a lot of time outdoors, my skin needs simple but powerful care. A good sunscreen shields me from sun damage, a lightweight moisturizer keeps my skin hydrated, and an SPF lip balm protects against dry, cracked lips. At the end of the day, a gentle cleanser helps wash away dirt, sweat, and sunscreen!
