Pink Flamingos at Aguas Calientes

Aguas Calientes, Bolivia

A four day 4×4 tour with Tupiza Tours in Bolivia brought me to some of the most incredible natural beauty I have ever seen.

At what quite possiby might be the world’s best road stop, we arrived at Aguas Calientes. These natural hot springs were perfectly heated by natural volcanic activity and there was a perfect view to match! The hot springs opened up to crystal blue waters inhabited by pink flamingos and a horizon of snow capped volcanoes.

We bought a home! 🏡 •••••••••

We bought a home! 🏡 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This time has brought so much uncertainty and I’ve never felt the importance of “home” more. I’ve been living out of a suitcase for the better part of a decade. While we still have our apartment in Cape Town, the reality of us returning to live there full-time just isn’t in the cards anytime soon. When we flew to the US from South Africa in March, we didn’t have plans of staying. But, with @meyer.swanna and I being different nationalities, the complexities of our future (especially since getting engaged) started weighing on us. We made the BIG decision to plant our roots in San Diego and have spent the last 2 weeks slowly adjusting to a very new chapter in our lives. When we saw this adorable 1920’s Tudor house for sale, it was love at first sight. We literally didn’t view a single other house. (I guess when you know you know!) Buying a nearly 100 year old home is not for the faint of heart—we have a lot of projects in store (including the obvious lack of landscaping). But, we have never felt more at home and are SO in love with how much character and coziness this house has. It’s a totally new direction I didn’t see coming in my life, but I’m so so happy and I can’t wait to share more as “The Blonde Domestic” over the coming months. I‘m wearing my lemon outfit that I wore almost exactly one year ago in Italy. It was too perfect for the current “when life gives you lemons” situation we’re all in. I hope you’re all making lemonade right now... or better yet, limoncello 🥰 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #sandiego #homesweethome #newhome #tudor #firsthome

Anyone using this time to give their hair a break

Anyone using this time to give their hair a break from hot tools? 🙅🏼‍♀️🔥 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #Sponsored Last week, I shared some of my tips for growing longer, healthier hair and my haircare routine — reducing the frequency of washing your hair and using less heat will do wonders for your hair’s health. My hair is very straight and doesn’t hold a curl, so I have to get creative with ways to style it. I’m sharing my favorite go-to hairstyles for traveling, when I don’t have access to heating tools, or when I just want to save my hair from the heat — these styles hold better when your hair is a little “dirty” anyways, so I use a touch of @WaterlessHaircare’s dry shampoo and dry conditioner to soak up the oils and hydrate my locks on those no-wash days. From braids to buns, I've rounded up some of my favorite no-heat styles on the blog! >>LINK IN BIO<< •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #GoWaterless

One of my favorite adventures of 2019 🐪 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Canyoning the Siq Trail at Wadi Mujib in Jordan was SO much fun! On our @tbaescapes “Ancient Wonders” tour in Jordan last year, we floated, climbed and slid our way up and down waterfalls through this slot canyon. It definitely isn’t an experience for the faint of heart and you can count on a few bruises and scrapes after a long day of exploring! But, looking back on days like these, it make me miss my all-female tours more than ever... conquering fears together, sharing in the laughter and thrill of new experiences and, of course, discovering far-flung destinations with new friends. SWIPE for some @GoPro evidence that I’m an official “woo girl” and for some BTS of the fun! 😂 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #tbaescapes #jordan #gopro

Every day is #EarthDay 🌍 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• As we stay at home to do our part to flatten the curve, we're also giving our shared home, Planet Earth, a brief moment to heal. In many places, animal populations are thriving with fewer humans in their habitats, air pollution is clearing up, and emission levels have reached their lowest point in decades. We have a long way to go to protect the planet from climate change, but I have been so inspired by recent examples of people holding themselves accountable - using reusable bags, refusing plastic straws, being more conscious about the sustainability of the food they eat and products they buy. More people are understanding the global impact of their choices in food, fashion and even travel. Nobody is perfect and we are all guilty of succumbing to convenience, but we can easily make SMALL changes that make a BIG difference in the long run. My friend @elanaloo said it best: "There are a lot of shocking truths and horrifying realities about our world but feeling wide awake and aware is EMPOWERING because it gives us the opportunity to care. To change. To speak. To vote. To live out of intention, respect, and admiration for our Earth, all beings that inhabit it and the beautiful ecosystem we are a part of." Comment below with something you’ve done to make positive waves for this planet! I love learning about new ways to help and discovering the people and companies who are making a difference! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #EarthDay #EarthDay2020 #EarthDayEveryDay
