Burning Man is such a fun way to express your style and creativity. I was hunting Pinterest for fun costume ideas when I came across all these beautiful sequined, rhinestoned, shiny, amazing hats. I found some to purchase on Etsy, but they can be a little pricy. With a little time and craftiness, you can create your own, and then it’s unique to your style and a fun DIY project.

In this post I’ll give you a rundown of the supplies you’ll need (subject to your own personal taste), and the steps and shopping links to create your own personalized sparkly gem.

Introducing the Landers Project, a beautiful new home we'll be building on a 5 acre property in Landers, CA. Landers in home to the Integratron, Landers Brew Co., Gubler Orchid Farms and Giant Rock. It's a short 20min to Joshua Tree National Park Entrance.

Landers is a city not many people have heard of, but its Joshua Tree’s neighbor of the north. In this blog post, I’ve listed five other fun things to do in this little town that’s only a 20min drive from the Joshua Tree National Park entrance.

Key's View is the best drive-up vista in Joshua Tree National Park. From the top you can see the Coachella Valley and the San Andreas Fault. You can also catch a view of Southern California's two highest mountains, Mount San Jacinto and Mount Gorgonio. On a clear day you can see California's largest lake, the Salton Sea.

Just over two hours from Los Angeles, there is little desert city called Pioneertown near Joshua Tree National Park. This expansive western set looks frozen in the old western days of dust and tumbleweeds. You can wander, shop, eat barbecue, and sometimes watch live music in this quirky little town.

The ruins of Tulum aren't as grand as some of the other ancient Mayan temples that have survived the test of time, but they have one amazing thing going for them, the beach they tower over is breathtaking.

If you are looking for a unique and festive experience in Mexico City, look no further than Xochimilco. Often referred to as the Venice of Mexico, Xochimilco offers a one-of-a-kind experience on the water with a lively fiesta atmosphere.

Ground Breaker is a great place for beer lovers who have celiac disease. All the beers are all naturally gluten-free and use ingredients like chestnuts and lentils.

The Frida Kahlo Museum, or "Casa Azul," is a vibrant and beautiful sanctuary in Mexico City. The bright blue buildings are so pigmented that it brings a liveliness and happiness to the space. 

The Straw Hut is a quaint little brunch spot in Seminyak. The menu is the perfect combination of Balinese cuisine and traditional American breakfast.

Ji Terrace by the SEA & Ji at Bale Sutra 1706 in Canggu are both part of one massive reconstructed 311 years old temple with a terrace to a 180 degrees ocean view.

Sedona is full of mystique and has a strong spiritual presence. Native Americans made this area of Sedona home thousands of years ago, where vortexes exist as centers of energy that promote healing, meditation and self-exploration. In this post, I’ll give you the info you need to hike Boynton Canyon Trail and some tours you can take if you want to explore Native American ruins.
