Canada Day and Garnier

On this Canada150 weekend I had the chance to get out on the boat.  It was such a great weekend but as always my hair was blowing like crazy in the wind!  But this time I noticed that my hair smelled amazing, and it’s because I used the new Moisture Lock Shampoo and Conditioner that arrived in my Garnier gift box!

My favorite thing about being a partner with Garnier is getting to have hair that smells incredible all the time.  I never would have thought that Cactus would be so moisturizing and add such shine and health to my hair.  I still love the Clean and Pure shampoo and conditioner, but the smell of the Moisture Lock collection is really winning me over!

Even a few days ago a friend of mine commented on how healthy my hair has been looking lately and I can’t help but think it’s in part because of this shampoo and conditioner!

Rapid Hangout

Got to play a show 30 minutes from my hometown and then spend some quality time with my family this month.  I have four siblings and two of them had their birthdays within a week of each other and my mum’s birthday, so it’s quite the busy last couple weeks of August.  On one of my mornings off, we were able to snap a couple shots by some rapids close to home.  Gearing up for a big fall, full of music and awesome adventures, so I loved having a couple hours to enjoy nature!

Paddle Boarding Percy Priest

I’ve seen people paddle boarding.  I’ve wanted to try paddle boarding. I’ve envisioned myself paddle boarding.  Finally, the chance to try this trend arose and I jumped at it.  When I witnessed people trying this new recreation it seemed quite a balance challenge, so I was hesitant about falling in. However, it was so much fun! The balancing act wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be, but the wind was another story.  It was somewhat windy out on the lack and actually pushed three people off their boards! (I fell in before this gust of wind).  Needless to say, I loved it.  I loved it so much I attempted some yoga poses and now I want to try a paddle boarding yoga class!  What new exercise trends have you tried, and how did it turn out?

Beach Essentials

I love adventure.  Sometimes that means new experiences, or revisiting favorite places, or even getting back to a hobby you love.  One things I love getting back to is the beach.  It inspires me to write great music, like most travel does, but I also love the feeling of being close to something as vast as the ocean. So here is a short list of must have beach items that I try to always have with me when I’m soaking in the saltwater,  trying not to get baked to a crisp in the sun, and laying on the sand.

1. Sunscreen

2. Beach blanket

3. Camera

4. Flip flops

5. Water for drinking

6. Sunglasses

What’s your list of beach must haves?
