Summer Activewear Styles from Backcountry

If you saw my poncho sweater outfit last fall, you’ll know that Backcountry is one of my go-to’s for comfy outdoor styles, activewear, and yoga gear.

Backcountry has activewear apparel and accessories for all the adventures you’ll have this summer — from yoga, hiking, running, camping, and more! As an avid yogi, occasional hiker, and leggings lover, I love the brands that they carry like PrAna, Beyond Yoga, ALO Yoga, Patagonia and more.

Right now, they’re having a HUGE Memorial Day Sale where you can shop tons of great discounts on best yoga & activewear brands.

So, here are some of my favorite activewear styles from Backcountry!

Activewear Tops + Sports Bras

Activewear Leggings

Running + Trail Shoes

Light Jackets + Windbreakers

Links to My Outfit: Windbreaker // Crop Yoga Top // Yoga Leggings // Adidas Shoes // Hat

Backcountry also has a dedicated customer service team of “Gearheads”. They have extensive experience in the outdoors, so whether you are a backpacking expert or buying your first pair of hiking boots or yoga pants, they can help you with any questions you may have!

Backcountry is also my to-go store for activewear. I love their collection and different styles. Just scored a few great pieces during the sale.

Will try to check out the Alo Yoga and Patagonia. “

Bienvenidos a Oaxaca! 🇲🇽
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I recently visited this vibrant, colorful city just in time for some of the Dia de los Muertos celebrations and it did not disappoint! From walking the cobblestone streets lined with colorful murals to witnessing centuries’ old architectural marvels, this entire city is an UNESCO World Heritage Site with beautiful sites around every corner.

There are tons of epic @vrbo vacation homes in Oaxaca—perfect for a group trip!

One of the major highlights of Oaxaca is the FOOD 🤤 Traditional cuisine like mole, mezcal, tlayuda, quesillo, and even… chapulines (aka fried grasshoppers! 😱) are a must. Foodies and adventurous diners alike will find themselves with more than a few delicious options here in Oaxaca.

Add these highlights to your Oaxaca bucket list:

🇲🇽 Shop at the artisan markets
🇲🇽 Get down on some delicious street food
🇲🇽 Try a traditional cooking class
🇲🇽 Take a day trip to Hierve el Agua
🇲🇽 Experience a temazcal ceremony
🇲🇽 Discover the countless murals
🇲🇽 Visit during Dia de Los Muertos

Did you know you can also book activities with some of the best local, hidden gems, through @expedia?

Try a traditional cooking class, book a local photographer, or enjoy a mezcal and mole tasting with a certified sommelier through the @Expedia app!

Have you been to Oaxaca? What time of year did you go and what was your favorite part??

Is this the cutest town in Vermont? 🍁
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
This is Day 5 of our New England Road Trip with a Toddler Series! We stayed at the @woodstock.inn for 2 nights and set aside a full day to explore Woodstock .

With Woodstock Inn & Resort is situated in the heart of Woodstock, so it gave us the perfect opportunity to explore the town by foot. There are cute shops, cafes, and it’s so festive during foliage season.

My number one tip here is to reserve your room at Woodstock Inn early! Woodstock is a small town, and especially during fall foliage season, it can be fully booked up a year in advance.

BONUS TIP: We booked our room through Amex Travel and got tons of perks like early check-in/late check-out, daily breakfast for 2, a room upgrade, guaranteed 4 pm check-out, and a $100 resort credit (which mama DEF used for a massage at the spa).

We spent our morning at @billingsfarm and got to meet some dairy cows and other farm animals. Kids will love this spot! 
In town, be sure to grab a Maple Creemee (a maple soft serve ice cream) from @woodstockscoops. Visit the F. H. Gillingham & Sons General Store to shop for TONS of local products like maple syrup. And The Village Butcher Shop is a great deli for yummy sandwiches & deli meats & cheese.

We wanted to eat at @simonpearcerestaurant but it was already fully booked (two months in advance!!!) so plan ahead.  Stay tuned for Day 6 for apple picking, cider donuts, and the cutest family-friendly lodge in Vermont! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Have you been to Woodstock, Vermont?

It’s time to add the “Kanc” to your bucket list! 🪣🗒️
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
The “Kanc” aka The Kancamagus Scenic Byway is a 34.5-mile-long state highway that winds through the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire. This might just be one of the most scenic drives in the US—especially if you’re coming during Fall foliage season.

You can drive the byway without stopping in about 45 minutes, but you’ll wanna plan for at least half a day, if not a full day, to explore it to the fullest.

Because we were with a toddler, we limited our stops to the Albany Covered Bridge, Sabbaday Falls, and the Panoramic Overlook. But, consider adding these stops as well:

- Lower Falls
- Rocky Gorge Scenic Area
- Sugar Hill Scenic Vista
- Hancock Overlook

TIP: We started at 7 am (toddler life) and I highly recommend starting your day early! This is a super famous destination for leaf peeping in the fall so we were shocked that we had most of these areas to ourselves until about noon.

The Albany Bridge is a super scenic stop—the foliage is so beautiful along the riverbank and the wooden bridge makes for amazing photos.

Sabbaday Falls is the perfect kid-friendly hike, minimal crowds, and such a great view of the scenery through the thicket of colorful foliage and cascading waterfalls.

And the Panoramic Overlook is on the far west end of the byway and has some of the best sweeping views.

You can stop for lunch in Lincoln or North Woodstock, NH.

TIP: All of the little towns in NH and VT are short-staffed during foliage season because there is SO much tourism. You’ll need to pre-book reservations at restaurants or be prepared to wait 1+ hrs (or longer).

Then is was off to Vermont! After a long drive (and car nap for Ollie), we checked into the famous @woodstock.inn in Woodstock, VT. We wandered through town and enjoyed the Farmer’s Market on the Green (Wednesdays) before calling it a night!

Check back for Vlog 5 as we kick off our time in Vermont—farms, apple picking, and the best spots for foliage!

Dia de Los Muertos in Oaxaca 🇲🇽💀🪅
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I’ve wanted to visit Oaxaca for as long as I can remember, and it was so special getting to be there for the days leading up to Dia de Los Muertos (celebrating my boo @kpande)!

Dia de Los Muertos is celebrated in different parts of Mexico, to pay respects and remember friends and family members who have passed on.

The festivities are colorful, joyful, and often humorous. Coming from a culture where the deceased are so quickly forgotten, I think this tradition is so beautiful.

Oaxaca is such a vibrant city with endless street art and incredible food. I can’t wait to return!
