what should we see, eat, and do in Italy?

May 10, 2018May 9, 2018By JoannaPosted in travel

In a little less than a month, I will be in Italy for an incredible styling workshop… and I need your help! Sean is going to meet me in Pisa, then we’re going to travel around Italy, so we need your recommendations on what to eat, see, and do while we’re there. We have reserved Airbnbs in Pisa, Florence, Como, and Venice so if you have recommendations for those specific areas, we’d love to know. Also, if you have any tips on how to get around, fun adventures (we’re trying to find a good sailing excursion during our time in Como), or anything a bit out of the ordinary, we’d be interested in those, too! It’s our first time traveling to Europe together and it’s going to be great. And, basically, I am just so excited to explore so much of this gorgeous, romantic country and eat allllll of the pasta.

Thanks!
Joanna

monthly moments | photoshoot sneak peek, Alt Summit, & more

March 7, 2018March 6, 2018By JoannaPosted in styling, travel, video

How on earth is it already the first full week of March? Woof. I feel like I’m a bit behind! Between styling loooots of photoshoots, attending and teaching at my first Alt Summit, and living life, it was awesome to look back on the month of February through video. For such a short month, I really did a lot — and even had some ridiculous adventures thrown in (just wait til you see Nancy Kerrigan The Chicken’s cameo). I love giving you a glimpse into my life and wanted this video to feel like an even closer look than you may find on Instagram Stories. Welcome to a new monthly series called Monthly Moments!

January 18, 2018March 6, 2018By JoannaPosted in travel, van life, video

I can’t even express to you how excited I am to bring more video content to you here on the blog. As I was editing this video of our recent New Years weekend trip to La Push, I realized that this is the perfect way for you to get a sneak peek of all the adventures that Sean and I get up to… and to really get to know us! Both of us have been itching to leave the city and take it on an excursion, basically a mini trip.

our full 5 day Sayulita travel guide + video

January 11, 2018March 6, 2018By JoannaPosted in travel, video

I had sooo many travel goals for 2017, but because of my leg I barely got to leave Seattle for about 7 months. As soon as I felt confident in my ability to walk and stand for long periods of time, it was officially time to book a trip! So last month Sean and I booked a last-minute, 5 day long trip to Sayulita, Mexico and it was precisely what we needed. Sun, swimming, margaritas… I don’t really have the words to describe just how much this trip meant to me and how badly it was needed. Tons of you have reached out to me on Instagram asking for a Sayulita travel guide, so here we go!

travel diary // palm springs

June 7, 2017June 6, 2017By JoannaPosted in travel

It’s been 4 weeks since our trip to Palm Springs for a friend’s wedding and I’m finally able to share my visual diary of that trip! Things didn’t go exactly as planned (more on that here) and, to be honest, this trip felt like it was world’s away from where I am now. I finally feel ready to look back on the photos and how much fun we had, ready to share some of my favorite parts of the trip and all the places you should go if you’re also planning a trip to Palm Springs!

when things don’t go according to plan (aka our recent trip to Joshua Tree)

May 22, 2017October 24, 2017By JoannaPosted in personal essays, travel

Now that I’m 2 weeks out from my accident, I feel like I’m finally about to talk to you guys about it. If you followed on Instagram, we went to Palm Springs for a wedding and then drove the short distance to Joshua Tree for our first outdoor climbing trip of the season. I was so excited… I had trained all winter and the past 2 summers were a wash for me in terms of climbing because of injuries (2 years ago I suffered a bad sprain and only climbed half the summer. Last year I had a dumb finger injury that kept me from climbing for about 8 weeks). Really, I was ready for this trip and to climb. So ready, so eager. And feeling so good! It felt like this would be my summer to reclaim the joy I have for climbing. That Monday morning, I approached the rock with an open heart, ready to climb hard and kick off a great summer.
