Mother Nature

So I was rummaging through some old photos, and I came across some I took on my 6th grade trip to Big Bear for science camp. Going through these photos made me remember what a horrible time I had on that trip- it was my first time away from my mom and I realized then and there that I was a mama's girl. I missed her and my family so much and I wanted to go home as soon as possible. They only gave us breakfast and dinner, which left me hungry for half the day and I remember my bed had a couple blood stains and some brown spots and I got so scared that someone got shot there. I

If I went back now, I would definitely appreciate it more and actually take in the scenery and that I am at the heart of nature. Also, I've become less of a mama's girl which is good, so now I can go places without missing them so much as I used too. Maybe one day I'll go back with friends and hike around. If you live in California and haven't been to Big Bear- what have you been doing? It's seriously so beautiful up there and I highly recommend a trip up there.

How to wear: Hiking boots (and Parkas)

If its two things thing I look forward to the the wintertime-it's wearing hiking boots and parkas. Whenever it gets the slightest bit chilly here in SoCal, I take the opportunity to wear all the layers I can. Great places to buy parkas are Topshop, Urban Outfitters, ASOS, and Zara- those are just the ones I can think of at the moment. For hiking boots, I feel that Sorel or Timberlands are the best of the best (I prefer Sorel just because of their versatility). Here are some sets I made if you're interested in wearing hiking boots, parkas, or both! xx
