Smoke and Soak in Bond-Eye Swim

Bond-Eye Swim at Scenic Hot Springs

Why I love Bond-Eye Swim

I love swimwear. In fact, love is an understatement. It’s an essential part of my wardrobe. I buy at least two swimsuits a summer and have a whole bin full of bikinis. Skimpy bottoms, sequins, vintage mesh and so much more. However, I’m also quite a stickler when it comes to my water wear. I am known to scour the web for hours in search of the perfect suit. So when I first learned of Bond-Eye Swim and their one-size-fits-all approach, you could color me skeptical.

I’m a small-chested gal. Would a stretchy suit work on my body? The models ranged in size and one seemed to match my dimensions, so I figured why not? Well… LET. ME. TELL. YOU.

Bond-Eye Swim instantly became one of my favorite swimwear brands. The first thing I notice is how incredibly soft the material is. It feels like butter. In the summer, I practically live in my Sydney top and Sinner bottoms, shown here. But what I love most is how well this suit holds up for all my outdoor activities — white water rafting, hikes to hot springs, paddleboarding, gardening, and more.

My 2023 New Years Eve Recap

Reflecting on 2023 for New Years Eve

How is it New Years Eve 2023 already? Heck, 2020 seems like just yesterday. Time really is flying by. As I reflect on the past year, I feel so blessed.

2020 and 2021 left me exhausted. In 2022, I moved to the mountains. In 2023, I reconnected with my creativity, spent time in nature, worked with some of my favorite brands, and expanded my video editing knowledge.

I look back at the last 365 days and feel really accomplished. I’m ending my year on a high note, and I look forward to what 2024 has in store.

Try Tulip, a Cannabis Lock Box
September 22, 2023

Full-spectrum storage with Tulip’s cannabis lock box

How does a woman living in an illegal state sandwiched between two legal ones travel from hike to hike in confidence? I keep my stash stored safely in Tulip, a cannabis lock box.

It has everything I need for my mountain adventures. Flower jars come with Boveda cannabis humidity packs, doob tubes, a rolling tray, and compartments galore for my OCD organized ways. Seriously, I love how my Tulip box looks when it’s fully stocked.

Stop and Smell the Wildflowers

Idaho wildflowers photo shoot

Don’t just smell the wildflowers, smoke them too

Do you ever meet friends on Instagram and they turn out to be just as wonderful in real life? I have, and can’t wait to share the story of my wildflowers photo shoot with the talented Justin Krompier. Justin shoots predominantly landscape and lifestyle photos, but his portraits of wanderbabes in the mountains caught my eye. So when he and his van were just passin’ through Wallace,  I jumped at the chance to work together.

One of the things I love best about living in the mountains is the abundance of wildflowers. From May through September colors change from white and yellow to pink and purple. Flowers like foxglove, daisies, lupine and wild sweet pea cover the hills. I’ve tried lifestyle content with my camera on a tripod, but it’s never the same as working with a photographer, especially when it comes to cannabis content. So for this shoot, I knew exactly the hill for the perfect golden hour light.

Why the Pandemic Pushed Me From Pot to Politics
May 11, 2023
pot to politics

The pandemic made me question my place in pot so I joined the team at Reason

COVID is officially over. Last month President Biden signed a resolution to terminate the national emergency related to the pandemic and just days ago the World Health Organization declared an end to the global health emergency. After three years it’s beginning to look like life before COVID, but for many people life has changed forever. I’m one of those people.

During Covid, I saw the cannabis community I know and love transform into something I never fathomed. It’s no secret I was skeptical of government mandates. However, the backlash I faced for speaking up broke my spirit. The wrath of cancel culture impacted my income. I watched women bully women for beliefs in medical freedom. I felt anxiety every time I opened social media. I simply couldn’t do this anymore.

The pandemic and subsequent erosion of freedom made me feel like I need to use my voice for more. I set a goal to get at least one paid gig in the political realm and it turned out to be so much more. In September 2021, I went from pot to politics and joined the team at Reason.

Rolling Around with Budmaster

What’s perfect for rolling and packs a punch? No, it’s not my friend Courtney’s VW Beetle. It’s Budmaster’s terpene-infused blunt wraps and cones!

We recently rolled around Richland for a very groovy afternoon. As someone who packs a lot of cones, I couldn’t wait to give Budmaster a try. These smooth, slow-burning papers elevate any trip, even if it’s just around your hometown.

Feel the Love with Bud Love

Bud Love herbal mixer

Bud Love makes bud better

Do you ever mix other herbs with your favorite flower? I love to create herbal blends with my cannabis consumption. The combination of terpenes not only gives your hit a unique flavor, it also provides a more calming high. So when Bud Love asked me to try their new herbal mixer, I couldn’t wait to experience how it makes bud better.

Before I smoke anything, I need to know what’s in it. Bud Love is made up of marshmallow leaf, which is an ancient medicinal herb, CBG and terpenes. There is no cannabis or nicotine in these blends and it is nothing like spice. To help you spark assured, all ingredients and finished products are lab tested. Customers can even check their package’s certificate of analysis online for added peace of mind.

Take a Tour of Mt. Baker Gardens

A while back I found myself specifically not allowed at an i502 event. I was so bummed because after more than year of COVID, I looked forward to connecting with the cannabis community again. When I posted about my experience on social media, Mt. Baker Gardens, one of the event’s sponsors, reached out. They didn’t know about this treatment so extended an offer to come tour their facility.

I’ve met the Mt. Baker Gardens team at past events and always enjoyed their energy, so gladly accepted the offer. This indoor grow produces award-winning flower, pre-rolls, infused pre-rolls and concentrates. However, if you smoke solventless extracts, their hash rosin is a must-try.

Paris Cannabis Co’s Light Up Halloweed Party

Over the last seven years, I’ve attended my fair share of cannabis events. Only a few have been blasé and most are a great time. But then there’s events like Paris Cannabis Co‘s Light Up Halloweed party, which will go down as one for the books.

Location is everything and I loved their Halloween decor. Good beats from DJ Sarkis Mikael set the vibe. A high quality guest list brought positive energy. And finally, no event is complete without a ton of cannabis. I connected with several Washington brands and lots of wonderful humans, for an all around unforgettable evening.
