Two years. Countless details. Endless love poured into every inch of this home 🤍 This project is truly one of the dearest to our hearts - from navigating the full permitting process to refining every detail of the cabinetry and pantry systems, and finally capturing it all through the lens with our incredible photographer. Today, seeing our clients fully settled in, enjoying their beautifully organized, highly functional spaces - hosting family, gathering with friends, and living in a home that truly works for them - is the most rewarding part of what we do. #interiordesign #customcabinetry #pantrydesign #luxuryinteriors #homedesign

Happy Early Waterfall Wednesday to all of you who find real peace, relaxation, and therapy in hiking out to a beautiful waterfall and do what you can to soak in all the feelings, experiences, and moments that waterfalls give us daily. Waterfalls are an important indicator of how powerful water and nature can be. Waterfalls like Wapama Falls (1,080 feet) are located in Hetchy Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park. It is the second most powerful waterfall in Yosemite National Park under the mighty Yosemite Falls, which gives it the nickname of "the Yosemite Falls of Hetchy Hetchy." Have you visited this waterfall before? What was your first experience like? It is important that we do what we can to view waterfalls like this safely, well prepared, and cautiously as we soak in the mist, the waterfall itself, the size of it all, and just the experience of the waterfall crashing to the ground around it. We also need to make sure that we are staying on the marked trails where we can, not overcrowding the trails leading to these waterfalls, and pack out what you packed in. We need to do what we can to protect these beautiful places for the future generation to enjoy as much as we have. Why is this important? How can we protect these places? Photo credit, inspiration, and first-hand experience go out to luisramirezphotos (I can not tag him) and @andy.sydney. Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful views and memories with us. We appreciate you both for what you do and just know you give us so much to look forward to when we visit these places. It is as though we are there with you while you experience these beautiful sights, sounds, and moments.

It was less than 24 hours since I had met these 7 women and here I am harnessed in, scaling rocks, hanging on cliffs and basically doing it all with strangers.
 This is a reminder that you don’t need someone you know to do these adventurous things with.  All you need is a sense of adventure and a willingness to try something new.   If you are up for trying a Via Ferrata in Banff here are a few things about the experience:
 Location 📍The Via Ferrata is located @mtnorquay in Banff 📆 Open mid-June to mid-October 
 Equipment/Safety 🪖You will be given a safety harness, helmet, and gloves. After getting the gear on and a safety lesson from your qualified instructor you are ready to go.
 🥾 You will want to wear good, sturdy shoes like hiking boots (if you don’t have the correct footwear they will provide for you)
 🎒 Wear a small backpack and bring water, snacks and sunscreen
 ⛅️ Depending on the weather forecast, pack layers. (I started with my down jacket and ended with my fleece, but if visiting in the summer it should be warmer)
 Experience 🚡 You’ll start by taking a chairlift up to the Cliffhouse Bistro (which is a great place for a bite to eat or drink after you have completed the Via Ferrata). 🧗‍♀️ You’ll practice on a short course to get familiar with the carbineers you use to clip in/clip out and the metal rungs you’ll use to walk along.
 ⛰️ And then you’ll begin your climb.  Mt. Norquay offers 5 different routes. Depending on your skill level (or comfort level) you will want to choose what is best for you based on the level and the duration. 🪜 You’ll start by climbing up some rocks, walk along paths hugging the side of the mountain, scoot across a tightrope, climb up a ladder, walk across a suspension bridge, continue scaling rocks curving around steep cliffs and eventually you will make it to the top. Phew! 
👀 Once you get to the top make sure you take the time to enjoy your surroundings and beautiful Banff below in the distance.

Surround yourself with the people you love. We've heard this saying a gazillion times. It's true and I get it and I feel very fortunate to have surrounded myself with an incredible family and group of friends. But you know what, I think you should also surround yourself with people who are passionate about the same things you are.  They might be your family and your close friends, but they also might be people you have never met before.  In 2020 I jumped head first into this travel community and I have not looked back once.  These people understand me, they get why I am so obsessed with travel and don't mind if I talk endlessly about my trips (or if they do, they just let me talk anyway!) At first it was meeting fellow travelers on Zoom calls, sharing our passions and tips for traveling.  Then it was meeting people IRL at travel conferences and events.  And lately it was signing up for a women's travel retreat with complete strangers and the only one person I knew I had met only a year ago via IG.  Funny how it all works. These new people are my tribe and I found them all online.  It's kind of weird to say that but it's true.  If you had asked me five years ago who some of my closest friends would be, I never would have imagined saying that they were "strangers I had met from the internet." So this post is just a shout out to all the incredible people I have met through this travel world.  I can't tag or share pictures of you all but every single one of you - whether we bonded at a travel conference, DM'd about a trip, went on a trip together, or shared just a quick conversation about travel - thank you all so much for continuing to inspire me, to teach me and to allow me to be okay following my passions.  Love to you all! ❤️ #travelfriends #travelcommunity #loveoftravel #passionfortravel

🧠 You want to know what’s been amazing for MY mental health? Adult friendships. Meeting new friends in my late 30s. Being unabashedly myself knowing these friends have no preconceived notion’s about me. I shed some tears making this… I can never thank @macs_explore enough for bringing this beautiful group of women into my life. These ladies all so different than me but so familiar 🥹 Choosing to make time for ourselves, exploring new business ventures in our 30s and 40s, brought together by our love of travel and storytelling! This trip had so many highlights but things I never want to forget: 🛶 Canoe photo ops on Lake Louise 🌈 Cotopaxi crew 🥵 Crying laughing at Miette Hot Springs 💃🏼 Dancing on lakes and mountains and sides of cliffs 🏔️ Singing Alanis Morisette on a Glacier 🍷 Drinking wine out of the bottle 💜 Late night heart to hearts with my roomie Pri 🗺️ Yelling OH MY GOD look at that!!! Every 2 minutes driving the Icefields Parkway . . #womensretreat #instasuccess

Changing careers at the age of 40 was not something I saw coming. Especially if that meant to become a “content creator.” To be honest, I didn’t even really know what that meant before. I just pictured girls putting on makeup or showing off their outfits. I had no idea I could create a career out of helping people to do things that I also love to do. To be fair, I can’t exactly call this a career yet. There is a necessity to make more $ than I spend before I feel comfortable doing that, but in the meantime I’m working on building the skills necessary to make my next career path exactly what I want it to be. It’s still teaching. It’s just a whole new subject matter: adults instead of children, experiencing the world instead of reading about it! Being in Banff with @macs_explore was an investment I made into this career path. We’ll call it part of my degree 😉. Maybe I can get some college credit for climbing that Via Ferrata!?! Christina offers an increíble course to get started as a travel content creator that I’ve been a part of for over a year now. This was like the best-ever field trip, learning from her and all the other entrepreneurs on this trip. The scenery was like my personal heaven, and I was surrounded by incredible photographers. What is one to do with so many photos of themselves?🤣 Thank you Christina and all my fellow travelers for an incredible learning experience!
