Mammoth + Highlights

Well, we’re halfway through January! I haven’t quiet gotten into the blogging flow that I’d like to yet but I promise that I’ve been productive in so many other ways. I’ve done lots of goal setting for the year, thrown a baby shower, traveled to 3 different places so far (San Diego, Colorado, and Phoenix), planned a trip to Mammoth (going today!), planned a trip to New York (going in February!), done community service, worked out, completed two weeks of work (I know we all have!), and more. However, I’d really like to start posting a bit more consistently – hello, I can’t seem to get a Monday post up. In the meantime, I’m heading to Mammoth to stay at an Airbnb for the long weekend with my boyfriend. I’ve never been to Mammoth so I’m very excited to go to a new place and to ski a new mountain! If anyone has any recommendations let me know! Follow along with my snowy travels on Instagram and be sure to shop all the sales I discovered (see below).
