Experiential Father's Day Getaways

Happy Monday!

Now that we've made it through Mother's Day, it's about time to get ready for Father's Day, so I want to share two great ideas for experiential getaways in Michigan!

Below are more details, but first a photo:

I'm still here.

Hey. I am not even sure if someone is still reading my blog. But I thought I'd give an update.

I'm still here. I'm still alive. But so much has happened within the last year. I don't know where to start. Does anyone even care? It's my blog, so I use it as an outlet, just like I used to. So, where have I been?

TW: Suicide. Mental Health.

Life as I knew it and loved it came to an abrupt halt on 03/02/2022. It was a beautiful spring day. I've had a meeting at a local coffee shop. At one point I looked out of the window, and saw my boyfriend Justin drive by in his work truck...

Run NYC! // Studio Update with Photowall.com

Hey y'all! How is everyone doing? As I mentioned in my previous post, I am working from home since March 17th 2020, and since that day have not worked out at the gym. 

(This post is brought to you in cooperation with my friends at PHOTOWALL.com They let me pick an item from their store in exchange for my unbiased review. I would never suggest products I don't like or believe in./ As always: If you use links in this post, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Full Disclosure) 

One of my first lockdown purchases was a treadmill. I went with a pretty cheap foldable one (find it HERE), just to see if I use it enough to eventually upgrade to a REAL one. And I am proud to say: I use it at least three times a week, and finished tons of miles on it running and walking, doing my virtual races. If you didn't know yet, I do virtual races on Yes.Fit for a few years now and they are tons of fun! Find a referral code at the bottom of this post to get $20 off your first race! And on top of this, I'll share a 25% off coupon for Photowall with you! So just keep reading!

The treadmill and my other few pieces of equipment are in my home office/studio. This is where I work every day and do my crafts and art. I live in a little house in southern Arkansas, and the view from my window is pretty green and neat - that's why we are called "The Natural State" I guess. So running while looking out of the window was what I usually did.

This was until my friends from Photowall.com reached out to me again (see our previous projects here and here). They asked me if I would be down to review another item from their shop, and I sure said yes!

Photowall offers a huge variety of motifs for wallpapers, wall murals, and canvas prints! I went with a view from a NYC penthouse this time, and I have not regretted it at all. It makes the room feel so much better! And if I turn around my treadmill, it really feels as if I'm on top of the big apple!
