Stylish Blogger Award

Hey my loves! The other day, my sweet friend Katie at What Katie's Baking tagged me with this:


Katie is such a sweetheart and I love her blog. Be sure to check her out if you haven't already. Thanks Katie <3

The rules of the "Stylish Blogger Award" are:
  1. Say seven things about yourself.
  2. Pass on to other bloggers.
  3. Contact them and let them know you have done so. 
Since I was recently tagged with the "Versatile Blogger Award" and had to share seven random things about me already, I thought I'd try something different this time. I was thinking I'd go heavy on the pictures and kind of let them tell the stories instead of doing much typing. 

Here we go! Be prepared for LOTS of pictures :-) 

1.) This is what my room looks like:





2.) I go to a lot of shows and music festivals. (You know, the kind that are 3-4 days long where you camp out and get wild and there's tons of live music and beautiful people and you have the best time ever?! That kind.) 

Joshua Tree Music Festival 2006

4.) I have family in Hawaii so I usually go there 1 or 2 times a year. Part of my heart lives there <3 It's a magical place :-) 


























5.) My yoga teacher training program that I did at Yandara in Mexico was one of the most beautiful, amazing, profound, transformative experiences of my life :-)



















 My 25th Birthday :-) Epic. 









6.) My experiences at Herb School were also beautiful, magical and transformative :-) 



























7.) Yeah, I know I'm "supposed" to post seven things about me, but I think six is plenty!


This was fun! For me :-) I hope that you enjoy pictures as much as I do and that this wasn't an overload for you!

Now I have to tag some other bloggers with the "Stylish Blogger Award." I'm going to tag some wonderful bloggers who I have either recently discovered, who I absolutely love, who I really resonate with, who inspire me or all of the above!
