SOMETHING ABOUT FALL

All photos taken during my recent trip to Sewanee, TN

Of all the seasons, Fall is my favorite. I love it. The crisp mornings, the perfect shade of grey that covers the sky, the way the warm colors of the leaves pop against that perfect shade of grey, the crunch of leaves under your feet. Everything is in a beautiful transition. Seeing this season of change, every year, inspires me to make a few of my own changes. Looking back at previous years, I can confidently say that I make all of my best decisions in the Fall... or at least they alway end up being my favorite. I say this because the outcomes are not necessarily "good", but the journey is exciting and the things I learn in the process are priceless lessons I'll carry with me and pass on the rest of my life.

So far, this Fall has been pretty good to me.

Do you find yourself making bold/crazy changes in your life during the Fall? Perhaps another season?

This past weekend, I finally got my butt over to Parlour & Juke salon and barber shop. What an experience! My best pal has been with Owner/Stylist Cali Devaney since before this dream became a reality, so I've been hearing about it's greatness for some time now. Being the hair junky that I am, I've been dying to see Cali in action and check out the rad salon I've heard so much about. It was perfect. They also carry a few of my favorite product lines, including Kevin Murphy and Oribe. The staff, the vibe, the tunes, the design, the work... everything down to the smallest detail made this environment an experience. 
Note: A few P&J stylists book out months in advance, so do your research and plan your appointments accordingly :)

What salon in your city do you always recommend? What makes that experience a good one? We'd love to check it out next time we visit.

CUMMINS FALLS /// Cookeville Tennessee

After a long tricky hike Claire, Travis, Jacob and I were rewarded with one of the top 10 swimming holes in America. I love how we had to really work for it to arrive and enjoy a little slice of heaven. I have never stood under or inside a waterfall before so I was out of my mind stoked, you have no idea.

Tips /// 
-Pack up a cooler full of snacks and plenty of water
-Wear shoes with grip that you don't mind being submerged in water during hike, we watched some people trying to go barefoot and it was both comedic and painful.
-Apply Sunbum multiple times.
-Bring your Go Pro or Lifeproof case because you will be wanting to take pictures, even though the pictures don't do justice.
-Bring your portable speaker, towels, and large hat.
