My complete camping setup NOW ON THE BLOG 🏕 •

My complete camping setup NOW ON THE BLOG 🏕 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• One benefit of staying home? The time to do a complete inventory of our camping setup—literally everything we use (from fairy lights to cookware to @goodbaileyboy’s doggie sleeping bag ) and putting it into a MASSIVE blog post! Even though we’re all staying home, bookmark this post so you can reference it when our parks are back open and the great outdoors can be explored again! >> LINK IN BIO << •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #camping #defender #landrover

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other 💍🥰 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I thought I would share some good news as this time of uncertainty has brought a lot of doom and gloom...and I know we're all feeling it. Meyer asked me to marry him two weeks ago... And I said yes! I waited to share the news because it just didn't feel like the right time to announce it. But I also don't want to downplay the good times during the bad times. This gives us something to look forward to. And planning something is a great way to bring about endorphins. Even though traveling is not an option right now—I'm "window shopping" future trips and getting excited about planning something we get to celebrate with our friends and family. I’m also trying to soak up all the blessings this isolation has given us—being back in California with my family, group FaceTimes with friends, incredible kindness for complete strangers, a true break from ‘keeping up’ with the travel industry and all of the content creation that comes with being a blogger, and quality time with my FIANCÉE! Thank you so much to everyone that has already sent us the kindest words. I didn’t know I could cry so many happy tears. Counting my blessings. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Ek is lief vir jou @meyerofcapetown ❤️

“Happiness can be found in the darkest of times

“Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” - Albus Dumbledore ✨ •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• What a week it’s been! I have so many updates, but I wanted to start by wishing everyone a happy first day of spring! I know most of us are overwhelmed with uncertainty right now, myself included, but there is also so much to be grateful for. For one, I’ve never been so connected with my friends and family (I am FaceTiming people left and right and it’s the BEST). @goodbaileyboy is also living his best life with all his favorite hoomans stuck indoors giving him ALL the attention. And, I’m finally stuck in one place and tackling all of my projects that have been on the back burner. Productivity is such a great distraction right now! A week ago today, we flew from Cape Town to the USA. We had booked these flights months ago before we had any clue there would be travel restrictions let alone a global pandemic. I’m so grateful for the timing of our travels and very happy to be back home with family. Bailey traveled like a rockstar. I used points to book us in business class and Bailey is a registered ESA so he was able to snuggle up with us during the 30+ hour journey across the globe. I won’t sugar coat it—it was stressful. But, our little layover in NYC (before the city shut down completely) was the perfect breath of air after so many hours in the sky. We practiced our social distancing and spent a few hours in Central Park, soaking up the sunshine and stretching our legs. We’re now in Southern California, isolating ourselves with family and sneaking in some extra puppy kisses. With so much circulating around the internet, I’d love for us to share something in the comments that is happy or positive that you’re experiencing or practicing right now. Together, we will get through this. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #newyork #centralpark #coronavirus

Water water everywhere... and not a drop to drink

Water water everywhere... and not a drop to drink 💧 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #Sponsored Sustainability is a big focus for me, especially after living in Cape Town over the past few years. Imagine being here, surrounded by water, and the reality of running out of safe drinking water is inevitable. That's exactly what happened here not too long ago. "Day Zero." The first major city in the world to run out of water. Thankfully, the community came together, massive conservation efforts were put in place, and with the help of a few wet winters, Cape Town overcame. Living through that experience inspired me — we can ALL easily reduce our water use. As someone who would normally wash their hair every day (because of how fine and oily it is), I simply wasn't able to do so during the water crisis. I was limiting my showers to 90 seconds and soon realized just how wasteful and completely unnecessary daily washes were. So, I discovered products that combat all of my hair issues without using a drop of water. Now, I only wash my hair every 3-4 days, something I never thought possible, and it hasn't been this healthy (or long) in YEARS! Between washes, I have a daily routine using @WaterlessHaircare's dry shampoo and dry conditioner. I also love that they have travel-sized fragrance mist I can use anytime — just like putting perfume on your body, this fragrance mist makes your hair smell amazing! Plus, almost all of the products are paraben, sulfate, and alcohol-free.

Empowered women empower women 🌎 •••••

Empowered women empower women 🌎 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Women truly run the world! Now, more than ever, we have the opportunity to empower and respect each other on a daily basis. Every day, I think about how fortunate I am to be surrounded by so many supportive and strong women in my life — from role models to friends to family! This year's #IWD2020 theme is 'an equal world is an enabled world' and it makes me reflect on the tireless efforts of women (and men) before us that helped create positive change for women and close the gender gap. We have so much to celebrate today and every day, yet we also recognize that our work isn’t done. May we continue to lift each other up, live through kindness, recognize our strength and, collectively, strive to create a more equal world! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #internationalwomensday #girlpower #EachforEqual #womensday
