Babe Tripping

What an incredible weekend experiencing life and nature in the rawest of forms with my very, very best friends. Congratulations, Chelsea! Your wedding will be a direct reflection of your inner self. I'm so excited!

Kitchen Tour in my 13ft Scamp Trailer

I have NO fridge, NO microwave, NO oven. This is how the heck I survive. #StrongWoman #itsnotthathard

Back to the City

I'm leaving the mountains today and while I look forward to celebrating the love and marriage of 2 of my best friends, my heart hurts. Bad. This 2-3 week trip back to the city signals the end of my favorite and most influential summer in my life's history. What a blessing and opportunity it has been to meet so many wonderful new friends, to see pieces of nature so beautiful I couldn't have ever imagined them. My honesty will tell you I'm afraid of the unknown future, my courage will tell you I'm excited and welcoming of it. With nearly 1 year of Scamp Life under my belt, I've learned that I flourish and blossom with change. Though I don't know what city or state or country I'll be in one month from now, I know that I will be happy in my own skin and will love the life I am living. Thanks for the adventure, Colorado.

Turn your sticker into a Macbook sticker!

You need a sticker (like this one) and you need thick, white piece of card stock. I used the back sheet of another sticker.

Trace a circle the size of the sticker circle and cut!

Remove the sticker from its backing and place the white circle onto the sticky part of the sticker. Apply the entire piece to your Macbook and you now have a cooler Macbook than you did before!

Check out my latest sticker release video to see the rest of the stickers in release #3!

Off Grid Coffee

I live off grid in my 13ft Scamp trailer. Off grid means my camper is not connected to electricity or running water, so in order to have common luxuries like coffee, I have to get a little creative.

My ultimate, favorite off grid stove is my wood burning Biolite Stove. This stove is much better for the environment than stoves that require disposable gas canisters, but to get a pitcher of boiling water, it takes about 20 minutes of effort. I bit the bullet and bought an MSR Pocket Rocket 2 in order to save some time on early mornings and late nights. 

I heat the water until just before boiling.

This silicone coffee pour-over device was given to me by a good friend for my birthday. It collapses down into itself for easy storing and can withstand the heat of the water sitting inside of it for minutes on end. 

There you have it. A stove, hot water, coffee grounds, and some squishy, orange devices get you the same thing as an electric powered coffee maker. Give it a try and enjoy the most satisfying cup of coffee you've ever experienced.
