P.S. I miss you...Jennifer Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05283808161039798078noreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868626916191102765.post-68794626203033824722013-05-14T13:48:00.002-07:002013-05-14T13:58:36.011-07:00Mount Whitney<div style="text-align: justify;">
My husband used to climb <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Whitney">Mount Whitney</a> regularly when he was younger and decided this year it had been too long since he had last ventured up--so he decided to take the trek once again...this time, with me in tow. We headed up via the Mountaineer's Route. I had no idea what I was in for or how challenging climbing Whitney would be--I had only heard a few stories in the past. MW is the highest summit in the continental US at around 14,500 feet. If you've ever climbed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_Dome">Half Dome</a> in Yosemite, the trailhead of MW starts at around 8,000 feet, which is close to the elevation at the <i>top</i> of Half Dome. Crazy? Yes. Intense? Mmhmm. Amazing? Most definitely!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
Unfortunately, we didn't make it to the top, but the journey was beautiful. I couldn't believe how much the terrain vastly changed from mile to mile. During the climb I swore I would never attempt it again (it was painful at times!), but now that it is after the fact...I may reconsider another attempt. Maybe...<br />

</span> <span style="text-align: justify;">It was a day of firsts for me--using an ice pick, putting on crampons, glissading...there's something about learning and experiencing new things that keeps me going. Time to train for the next adventure! </span><br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">San Luis Obispo is beyond gorgeous right now--I wish I could show all of you around. Besides allergies, spring is my jam! Josh and I took a hike up </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishop_Peak_(California)" style="text-align: justify;">Bishop Peak</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> today and we stopped so many times to admire the wildly growing mustard grass. It was a great way to welcome the weekend. Speaking of the weekend--we are attempting a big hike on Sunday and I can't wait to share photos with you (that's if we make it to the top). I'll report back soon!</span><br />

So I know we've all heard of <a href="http://www.jenis.com/">Jeni's</a>, but it was my first time visiting one of their scoop shops--I've been wanting to try their ice cream for such a long time now! We hit up the Jeni's in Nashville and it did not disappoint. My picks were the <a href="http://www.jenis.com/brambleberry-crisp-pint/">brambleberry crisp</a> and <a href="http://www.jenis.com/products/Wildberry-Lavender-Pint.html">wildberry lavender</a>. Yum! Ice cream is just one of those treats I can't live without...<br />

Yep, you read right. <a href="http://www.sleepingaround.eu/">Sleeping Around</a>. Sleeping Around is a unique, green pop-up hotel made up of shipping containers. The "hotel" consists of four rooms (aka containers), a breakfast/lounge container, and a sauna container. Its current location is at the <a href="http://www.sleepingaround.eu/locatie.asp?taal=en&id=JPGMPRN0">Scheldekaai in Antwerp</a>, but the hotel will soon move to a new location with new views and new surroundings.<br />

If you've been following this blog for some time, you're probably aware that I'm a fan of companies that give back. When the kind ladies over at <a href="http://www.lydali.com/">Lydali</a> contacted me, I jumped on the chance to feature their brand and host a giveaway (it's been a while, hasn't it?). <a href="http://www.lydali.com/">Lydali</a> is a curated collection of high quality (one-of-a-kind) goods from remote areas around the globe. From <a href="http://www.lydali.com/collections/jewelry">jewelry</a>, to <a href="http://www.lydali.com/collections/accessories">bags</a>, to <a href="http://www.lydali.com/collections/house-home">house and home accessories</a>...there's a little something for everyone. <a href="http://www.lydali.com/">Take a look-see</a>!

Alice from <a href="http://www.forestbound.com/">Forest Bound</a> posted a photo of an <a href="http://www.earthtuface.com/">Earth Tu Face</a> product on Instagram and I had to look it up immediately! I love the bold graphics/packaging and I'm a fan of anything au naturel. Major plus--their awesome <a href="http://www.earthtuface.com/pages/glossary">glossary</a> for natural healing goodness!<br />

The last stop in Tahoe took our breath away. It's a good thing Josh was prepared with a pair of gaiters for the both of us! We explored and took photos non-stop...the light was to die for! This trip left me feeling incredibly grateful...<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">We camped out at the new(ish) </span><a href="http://basecamphotels.com/" style="text-align: justify;">Basecamp Hotel</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> in South Lake Tahoe. I have so many good things to say about this place. This list is long--I loved the attention to detail throughout the hotel, the design elements, their customer service, </span><span style="text-align: justify;">rooftop hot tub (yes!), </span><span style="text-align: justify;">evening s'mores,</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;">their minibar with happy hours (think local brews and hot chocolate), complimentary breakfast every morning with simple eats from a local bakery, the coffee and tea that was available at all hours...the list goes on. To top it off, they're dog friendly and encourage community with their comfortable/inviting lobby and communal dinners. I promise the people at <a href="http://basecamphotels.com/">Basecamp</a> didn't force me to write these things, I just loved it that much!</span><br />

Have you heard of <a href="http://www.restylesource.com/home.php">ReStyle Source</a>? It's a national guide to local shops, businesses, and restaurants.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy New Year! Josh and I celebrated four years on the first! We met on January 1, 2005 and married on January 1, 2009, so the new year is a special time for us. This year was challenging, and beautiful. We've learned and grown so much over the past year and are looking forward to what 2013 holds--I'm thinking we'll be collaborating on more projects this year because we've come to realize that we're a great creative team!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On another note, I can't believe the holiday season has come and gone so quickly. In 2013, I look forward to getting to know more of you in the blogging community and getting out from behind my desk more often as well. I hope to spend more time shooting portraits and also work on taking on more personal photo projects to keep learning, growing, and being inspired. This blog continues to be such an awesome creative outlet for me and I'm thankful for each and every one of you!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, your turn. What are you most looking forward to in 2013? </div>

We've been exploring places to shoot our holiday card for this year. These images were from a failed attempt, but I love how they turned out--thanks to Josh. It's been a simple holiday season for us here in San Luis Obispo and I'm loving it. What has your season been like?<br />

The good people over at <a href="http://www.woollypocket.com/">Woolly Pocket</a> kindly sent me their newly <a href="http://www.woollypocket.com/living-wall-planters/woolly-living-wall-planter">re-imagined living wall planter</a>. It's been a few weeks since we planted our herb garden and it is thriving like crazy! The things I love about the new planter: the affordable price, the self-watering tank, ease of assembly, and most importantly, it's eco-friendly! I will miss the "woolly" of the old "Woolly Pocket" (note: they are still <a href="http://www.woollypocket.com/living-wall-planters">available</a>!), but overall I am pleased with the design of their new living wall planter.</div>
