Guide to Mammoth Lakes

This past weekend, Jeff and I went on our first getaway to Mammoth Lakes and it was incredible! The area has so much to offer as far as sights go – it is truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever traveled to. Lucky for us, it’s about a 4 hour drive from the Bay Area. We loved that it’s less touristy than Lake Tahoe, but has endless charm!   

Cold weather destinations are my kind of romantic. We bundled up each day, Jeff made a fire each night (and morning, he was kind of obsessed), and I finally finished The Girl On The Train. I loved it! Definitely was NOT expecting that ending. 

Where to stay: Edelweiss Lodge

Our stay at Edelweiss Lodge was so lovely, and boasts the perfect cozy cabin experience. Terry and Dawn, the owners were so gracious and helpful. They even had fresh baked cookies waiting for us in our room! Jeff and I loved that we could stay in and cook – just what we need when we’re both high maintenance, everything-free eaters.

How adorable is this cabin?! The balcony was perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee while overlooking all of the beautiful trees.

You can book your stay HERE!

What to do:

1. Walk around Convict Lake

Convict Lake is known for being a great fishing spot and dramatic mountains that encapsulate the lake. The name does make you wonder, right? Well, during our walk around the lake, we read that the lake was named after a group of convicts who escaped from prison in Carson City who encountered a group of men led by a sheriff. There was some sort of fight, and one guy from the “good” side was murdered by the convicts. Creepy, right? 

If you’re looking for an easy walk, there is a nice paved trail around Convict Lake.

2. Take a dip in the Hot Springs!

We decided to visit Wild Willy’s Hot Springs at night since we figured no one would be there when it was pitch black out, literally in the middle of nowhere. Plus, neither of us brought bathing suits on this trip, so night time seemed like the perfect time to take a dip in the nude. WRONG. We walked out to the Hot Springs, which took a good 15-ish minutes from the unpaved parking lot and 3 mile long gravel road to get there…and were disappointed to see that everyone had the same idea. There were at least 3 hot spring “pools” filled with people….so no skinny dipping for us, although that is the norm there which was lucky for me, going in in my underwear.

3. Hike Obsidian Dome/Panum Crater

If you’re a geology nerd, you will LOVE Obsidian Dome. We hiked it, and there was not another soul there. Kind of creepy in my horror movie infested mind, but kind of cool also. It was like we were on Mars.

4. Hike around Emerald Lake

Emerald Lake has it all: tall mountain tops, snow (during some seasons), densely packed pine trees, and beautiful trails. It was the most grand body of water that we visited in Mammoth Lakes. So picturesque! 

If you’re looking for a romantic getaway, you will love Mammoth Lakes! Especially during this time of year when it’s just starting to get cold and there are snow on the tops of every mountain. You certainly won’t be disappointed. And being in freezing weather is perfect for lovers! 😉

a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritu a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritual:

1. experimenting with what you wear can help you see yourself in a different way & provokes inspiration.
2. Getting dressed in the morning is a way to have fun by expressing your beautiful soul for everyone to see. 
3. when you feel confident in what you’re wearing, you FEEL good.

my style evolution: I used to wear a lot of black & shunned expressing my femininity with the clothes that I wore because I was following trends. NO MORE. now: give me all the feminine LEWKS and colors 🌈

on motherhood & embracing femininity 💖 During on motherhood & embracing femininity 💖

During the first few months of my Z’s life, my body & soul felt burnt out. looking back, it was hard (and still is!) to prioritize just taking a few deep breaths each day. totally not trying to sound dramatic like so many Oprah IG captions 🤣 but it’s the truth.

during a meditation session recently, my intuition called out and invited me to reconnect with my feminine side. I realized I had abandoned much of this ‘side’. this is where the journey of activating my divine feminine energy began for me.  I’ll be sharing bits of my re-discovery here in hopes it will help you overcome the same and step in to your wholeness. 🤍

by wholeness, I mean not DOING IT ALL. being intentional & redefining the feminine experience. 

some of the words I have reclaimed include…

emotional, ease, wild, & healing 

do you have words to describe your feminine energy?

reflecting back on the past year has put into perspective how critical taking the leap and moving to a new place has been for my personal growth and development, and if you’re thinking about moving, this is your sign to do it!

the change of environment has been SO beyond magical for many reasons…it’s taken me out of my comfort zone, given so many new and exciting experiences, and expanded social connections.

Even with other clean products, my scalp was not happy and it’s such a relief to find a product that WORKS that isn’t medicated or full of crap ingredients. so excited to share with y’all as I have always shared my scalp/hair journey and finally feel like my scalp is THRIVING 💖
