Fall vibes😍🍁🍂🧡 - The drive to get to Mesa Verde was sooo dreamy💛🧡🌲 - But we’ve been here for two days and all it’s done is rain 😩 So David & I watched lots of football (bc that’s what you do when @deeboles is in 2 fantasy football leagues🙄😬), I baked some delicious pumpkin spice chocolate chip & walnut muffins🎃 & we did some decorating to make our 5th wheel feel like “home” 🏡☺️ - Hoping that the rain lets up soon so we can check some places off of our list of things to do and see here🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 (at Ancient Cedars At Mesa Verde Rv Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/BorngDfH2-2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sy1ra08fsh1l

Our last adventure before we head southwest to Mesa Verde, Colorado involved 224 steps at Broadmoor’s Seven Falls💦 - It’s the only waterfall in Colorado to make it on National Geographic’s list of international waterfalls👌🏼 - We’ve been around the same area for a few months now & are so excited to explore a whole new spot! We will be in Mesa Verde for one week before we head to Albuquerque, New Mexico for about a month. - If you have any tips for these areas please share!🙏🏼🤗 (at The Broadmoor Seven Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/BomnHyTHQng/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=peb6dfwqteji

Hot springs with my 7th grade bestie 😍👯‍♀️ We soaked for 9 hours talking about all the things & I’ve come to the conclusion that as of now Colorado is the #1 state I would want to live in permanently, because I want one of these in my backyard 👌🏼 (at Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoXCVwgH1Xl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=158ia8jkcwtu2

I have seriously struggled with MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity) lately so this sound cloud episode was perfectly timed: Anthony Williams on Breast Implant Illness. If you haven’t listened, do that it’s free! - This is one of my rare vulnerable posts. But if I can help save one person, it’s all worth putting myself out there🙏🏼 - I sometimes forget that I never had MCS before implants. I forget what my body has gone through. I lose faith, get frustrated, overwhelmed & want to give up. But listening to this was just the validation I needed at just the right time. God’s perfect timing🙏🏼 I have a newfound motivation to keep doing everything I’m doing, living 100% toxin free, eating super clean & vegan, always actively detoxing. That it’s all necessary & working even if I don’t always feel that way. I have to look at the big picture🌎 - 5 years ago I was told by my plastic surgeon implants were completely safe, despite my questioning. I was never shown ingredients, or warned they could cause an autoimmune response, MCS, cold urticaria (hence the ugg boots while hiking lol), burden my liver, etc. “They are totally safe, they aren’t the same as they were 20 years ago!”🙄 - Solvents, heavy metals, & plastics aren’t meant to be inside the body. They burden our immune systems so that just living a normal life becomes hard. Believe me, MCS is emotionally & physically draining when your body can’t handle the oxidative stress toxins cause, & toxins are everywhere in this world sadly. (For me lately my worst exposures were painting & getting a new roof on our 5th wheel) - It’s been 2 years since I explanted & my health journey isn’t over, but I know removing them was the best decision I could have ever made. I am so thankful for my amazing explant surgeon @drurzola for giving me my life back. & for the BII community that is ever evolving & expanding. - Love your body & yourself enough to live the healthiest, cleanest lifestyle you can. Never lose faith & always remember where you started🙏🏼 & if you ever need to talk about BII, MCS, or living healthier I’m happy to help💞 & if you are thinking of getting implants just don’t. They aren’t worth your health, I promise✨ (at Rocky Mountain National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn_raaOHXZi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cbi4lnna2ne0

Home is where you park it continued💙 Let’s talk about that pretty blue dually that’s needed to pull our home... she’s ~22 feet long & 8 ft 7 inches wide 📏🤓 - Did you know❓the average vehicle lane is 9.8-10.2 feet wide, and 12 ft in high volume areas🛣 So that literally leaves me a foot or two of leftover lane when I’m driving on most roads🤭 She’s a beast, and not the most fun to park (I find myself laughing at my parking job quite often lol) and all errands are carefully planned to get done in one trip🚙🛍🛒 - Silver lining is that I feel super duper safe driving that big girl🙏🏼☺️ (at Town of Green Mountain Falls, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn6oqRkBkmd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vd6vujm3b5vo

Horses have always been healing for my soul💙 Missing this grumpy mare lately!🦄 I made fresh apple juice and had no horsey to bring the cores & pulp to 😭 Wishing I was a capable wifey & could pack up our 44 ft home-on-wheels and drive back to Cripple Creek to have my horsey neighbor again😅 (at Cripple Creek Hospitality House and Travel Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnuCvpfhXnE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w5srrj8w23t5

So much beauty in a short 3 mile hike! 🏔 Totally worth waking up early to avoid the crowds that flock to this beautiful trailhead with views of Long’s Peak and Glacier Gorge🤩 12,713 ft Hallett Peak is above us and the alpine lakes are supplied by glacial and snow melt ❄️ Emerald Lake fills a deep bowl carved by the Tyndall Glacier, and the green colored water is from the minerals in the glacial melt🤓 (at Rocky Mountain National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnjcG6zHuRo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xf1w3qvzdmnj
