Here we are, three months after the February edition of S#!T I’ve been loving lately, and I’m back with a few more fun discoveries that I’ve been really into lately.
The past few months? Some new menus at Flagstaff restaurants, new outdoor gear (including a GENIUS GADGET THAT CONSOLIDATES ISOPRO FUEL CANISTERS, you are welcome in advance) and a new addition to my very outdated skincare routine that I totally need to update.
Northern Arizona is WILD.
Like, one summer, you’re driving three hours north in order to paddle board somewhere new to you.
And the next summer… you’re driving 30 minutes south in order to paddle board somewhere new. To EVERYONE.
Because a new lake just, like… appeared?!
Well. This past weekend was in the mid-70s every day, so I didn’t find the time to read as much as I would have liked. Warm temps just scream hiking and paddle boarding, and it’s really hard to read while doing either of those things
I finished three books this month.
OK, I’m back with the second part of my and Ryan’s recent trip up to Washington!
You can read the first part — our first few days bopping around Seattle — here.
I feel like I’ve been playing catch-up and battling off a cold for the better part of the past week, but I finally had a second today to throw some words and photos together and share a little recap of my and Ryan’s recent trip up to Washington!
March was a pretty decent month for reading!
I kept busy with wildfire academy for work, multiple weekend trips to the Valley, a long-awaited Taylor Swift concert and a few other things, like knitting and hiking, but I still found time for five books.
We had an early March snowstorm that coincided with a few sick days at work. That snowstorm dumped literally two full feet of snow overnight, so it was nice to stay home, rest, and knock out several hundred pages of reading.
Then… it kept snowing all throughout March. So it’s been really nice to have a lot of cozy snowy reading days this month.
I’m definitely going to miss reading by our little faux fireplace once spring rolls around, but I am excited for (eventual) summer reading, once the chaos of fire season subsides.
It’s the one-year anniversary of the Flagstaff YogaSix studio…
…which means it’s also my one-year anniversary of teaching (and practicing!) at YogaSix.
Time flies!
I posted last year about receiving my job offer from YogaSix — which was brand new and just opening at the time — and then about undergoing Bridge Training, but then after that, I’ve mostly been quiet about teaching yoga.
…which is weird, because it’s been such a huge part of my life for the past year.
I wanted to give a little update now that I’m a full year in.
It’s been about a year since our Pela Lomi countertop composter was delivered to our little Flagstaff apartment, pristinely wrapped in compostable bioplastic and recyclable cardboard/ paper tape.
…And, it’s been about a week since our replacement Pela Lomi was delivered to our Flagstaff apartment, wrapped in the same eco-friendly packaging.
Um. Yep.
I figured it was time for an update after a year with our Lomi composter.
After some record setting snowfall… it’s finally (officially) spring!
This winter was really, really busy.
And really, really snowy.
It wasn’t quite as busy as last winter — most of which I spent working and recreating out in northern California, with a big trip back to both Chicago and Michigan — but I still kept myself fairly occupied in and around Arizona, and even snuck in an extended weekend trip to Colorado.
I’m going to preface with this: If you’re looking for high-quality photos and videos of Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour, this is NOT the place. We had cheap ($140) side-view nosebleed seats and I BARELY took any photos because I was way too busy singing and dancing and screaming and oohing and aahing and loving every single second of Taylor’s three-hour-long 44-song setlist in Glendale, Ariz.!
BUT, I’m very much still on my Swiftie high, so I wanted to write about how incredible the Eras Tour Glendale concert was!
