Have you ever smelled sap oozing from a balsam fir or white pine in the crisp air of early winter or late fall? It's chilling, revitalizing, enthralling and it makes you feel like you're using your lungs to the fullest capacity with every breath. I can't even begin to describe just how much this exact smell has made me want to ditch city life and move up to a pine grove in Northern Minnesota.
We Minnesotans know that our state is well-known for our harsh (and long) winters, often full of snow and no short supply of ice. But one of the most beautiful things about northern Minnesota, is being able to see it just as the ice and snow start to melt away, but there's just enough to give the area the moody, eerie, majestic feel that captivates the minds and hearts of many.
Loungewear - it's pretty much what most of us, including myself, are getting the most wear out of these days. With most places in lock-down, it can be insanely tempting to stay in our pajamas all day.
I love to travel. I’m just not willing to spend my entire savings account on a plane ticket. A budget traveler’s best kept secret? Layover flights. Think about it like this – the money saved could be another international plane ticket on an off-peak travel date. Crazy, right?
