2020- The Year of New & Scary Things
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One thing I’m trying this year that I’ve never done as an adult is camping 🏕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve done ~g l a m p i n g~ with real beds and running water and walls and WiFi and I’ve loved it 😂 so when my best friend proposed an real life dirt + nature camping trip I was hesitant.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But there have been so many things I’ve written off as not being for me and I’m trying not to live with all this negative expectation, so we’re going!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s gonna be cold, I’ll probably have at least one meltdown (the negativity is hard to shake haha) but I already know I’m going to be so happy we did it 💕🏕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a camping newbie I am fresh as a daisy so please please drop me your camping tips in the comments or send me a DM! Nothing is too trivial, trust me 🥰

Any ~distanced~ plans for the holiday today? Self-employed people, I hope your boss gave you some time off too! 😉

Actually Good Avocado Toast 🥑

Okay, okay, this is controversial 🙈 I just don’t really like avocado toast, it’s just two flavors and that’s not enough to keep me interested. But Liv has been making this hella tasty avo-toast and y’all gotta try it

1 slice bread of your choice (multigrain because health)
A couple slices of kielbasa, diced
1/2 an avocado
Handful of arugula
1 Fried egg

This is easy~peasy! Toast your bread using your preferred roasting method. Meanwhile, throw your diced sausage into a hot pan with a little oil. Fry those babies up! Crack your egg in the same pan and get that dude nice and crispy too.

Mash your avocado with a little salt and pepper and garlic powder because Ms is always in my head (if you’re a badass like Liv you don’t even need a bowl and you can use the 🥑 skin as a bowl!!)
Combine it all
Bottom➡️Top
Toast+Avo Mash+Crispy Sausage+Arugula+Fried Egg
BOOM! Delicious & healthy & your dogs will 100/10 try to steal it off your plate. 🐶 (some sausage escaped and I wanted y’all to see how crispy it is. Sooooo good!)

Would you believe I took this photo with my starter DSLR? ✨

A little over a year ago I climbed a mountain in the dark at 4 am with my best friends and had the worst & best time 😂 it was truly the trip of a lifetime because who knows if countries will ever let Americans cross their borders again?? 🤦🏻‍♀️😷
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After I got back from this trip I was so happy with the photos but I wanted MORE so I upgraded to the full-frame camera body I have now! Been doing some reminiscing for a new blog post coming tomorrow 🌅🌱📝
Any ideas on the topic? Winner gets my love & respect! 💕💕
