Favorite Photo from March

March was very snowy, but that doesn't mean I'm not constantly adventuring!

I am also trying out some new hiking pants because mine are falling apart...what are your thoughts?

Adventure Amazon Product of March

Rumpl Original Puffy Blanket - Warm Puffy Camping Blanket, 100% Recycled Polyester Insulation, Lightweight, Packable, Water-Resistant, Outdoor Puffer Blanket, 52"x75"

Back when I was in Bryce Canyon, I noticed this heavy-duty adventure/camping blanket. And impulsively, I bought it.

Needless to say, I'm OBSESSED! It's warm, adventure-proof, and very high quality. Also, I can wear it like a cape and pretend I'm a wizard.

If you need an outside blanket for anything, I would check it out!
