Arizona 10/10 for nature hikes. Absolutely breath taking views, and literally breath taking because of the altitude difference! Ha!

H&R Bakery is a local staple and a MUST visit if you’re in Salem, IN.
Nestled right on the town square, you get gorgeous views of our stunning courthouse while enjoying arguably some of the best donuts in Indiana!
They also have great coffee. My favorite is a large iced coffee, 3 pumps brown sugar spice and 3 pumps vanilla, with oat milk! The atmosphere is pretty hard to beat, too. 🍩 🤎
Have you been to H&R yet?!

I’m bad with makeup, so a Korean lash lift and eyebrow lamination makes it so I don’t have to be! I can go out bare faced and feel super confident. Thank you MaiLash Brow Aesthetics !!

POV: you finally walk into that place on the Salem square you’ve passed a hundred times... and immediately wonder WHY you haven’t been going here. 🥃🤌🏼

The Bourbon Lounge is seriously one of Salem’s coolest little treasures. Exposed brick, velvet seating, cocktails, a piano, a pool table downstairs, a gorgeous back patio... the VIBES.

And despite the name, you absolutely do not have to be a bourbon drinker to love this place. It’s cozy, intimate, a little moody, and perfect for a date night or drinks with friends when you actually want to sit, sip, and enjoy the atmosphere.

Is it normal to have ONE Hercules banana pepper plant decide it’s no longer a pepper plant, but a full blown tree?!

Ma’am, you were planted in a raised garden bed. Please act accordingly.
But seriously, garden people, is this normal?! This is only my second year having a garden, so l am very much an amateur and genuinely need to know why ONE pepper plant has decided to become the ruler of the garden. 😂
