📍 Swan Lake Nature Reserve in Vernon, BC

Did you know that Vernon is an outpost of the @bcbirdtrail? How cool is that!

The Swan Lake Nature Reserve is a great place for a nice stroll and some peaceful bird watching. So many birds call this area home! And even more visit throughout the year!

I’ve always loved birds and it’s so relaxing to see them all hanging out in such a beautiful place ✨

Camping food that doesn’t suck!

Try this simple four ingredient recipe on your next camping trip — you’ll thank me 🙌

👉 SAVE THIS RECIPE

All you need are:
- A fresh peach
- Wheel of brie
- Thin slices of prosciutto
- Balsamic glaze

Make sure to keep your brie and prosciutto in your cooler so they don’t go bad — I have a @yeti and built it into our car camping set-up so it doubles as a bed! (RIP setup, I miss you 😢)

Simply slice your peaches and brie, then wrap them in prosciutto and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Yum!

Once your snack’s ready, enjoy it next to a pretty view! The view makes the snack even better — if that’s possible!

How to turn your spring garden into a bee’s para

How to turn your spring garden into a bee’s paradise (and help the bees!) 🐝

We all know that we need to save the bees. While there’s no quick fix, here are two things you can do!

1️⃣ Plant a spring garden full of bee-friendly plants.

They love flowers with wide petals (so they can land) and are extra attracted to purples, blues, and (according to my limited first-hand experience) white flowers!

Even with my very limited garden knowledge, I had bees coming to say hi as I was planting!

A few plants bees love:
🌸 Primrose
🌸 Buttercups
🌸 Daisies
🌸 Pansies
🌸 Sage
🌸 Lavender

Not only will the bees love your flowers, your veggies and eyes will thank you!

2️⃣ Grab a @because.tees tee like the cute bee one I’m wearing!

They have tons of cute outdoorsy designs and every purchase goes towards planting trees and other ecological non-profits like Pollinator Partnerships.

Use the code EXPLORETHEMAP to save 15% 🥰 and grab the link in my bio!

🐝 We can all help the bees!
