Autumn Getaway


I’m so excited because this weekend is our camping trip! My husband and I will be meeting up with my sister and her family up here in Northern Virginia for a Fall-filled weekend. We’re staying in a cabin on the water, fully stocked with our own fire pit and front porch. We planned this trip well over a month ago, so I’ve been anxiously awaiting its arrival.

We used to go camping every Summer as kids and those are some of my best memories from childhood. There’s nothing like waking up and sitting around a campfire, cooking breakfast the old-fashioned way, just enjoying nature and quiet. The weather should be perfect, too!

Here’s a look at what I’m packing in my favorite overnight bag:

My favorite CC Cream for simple makeup + sun protection | my favorite Fall candle to burn inside our cabin | an instax camera to snap memories | a cozy thermal to layer when it’s chilly in the morning and evening | a pair of sunglasses | a baseball cap | my favorite puffer vest to layer | a french press to make fresh coffee in the morning | face moisturizer to keep my skin healthy | warm slippers to wear around the cabin | my absolute favorite leggings | a glass water bottle to stay hydrated and easily carry around with me | dry shampoo (because I have no idea if I’ll actually wash my hair) | a flannel shirt because #camping | a popcorn popper to make fresh popcorn over the campfire | a wireless speaker to enjoy music | a cast-iron skillet to make alllllll the things over the fire | my favorite sneakers
