Joel and I knew that on our recent trip to Palm Springs we'd make at least one excursion outside of the city. Originally, we planned on going to both Salvation Mountain (an art installation 1.5 hours outside of PS) AND Joshua Tree National Park (45 minutes outside of PS), but I'd rather not spend an [...]
In an exclusive group of people over in Blog Land/Instagram, Palm Springs, California is the Bee's Knees. It's a desert oasis filled with color, coolness, and mid century design.

It's been two years since the most fun wedding I've ever been to: mine! Honestly, it feels like Joel and I have been married so much longer than that.
