Eveyone loves their plant babies and we all want the best for them so I rounded up some of my favorite plant stands, planters, and accessories for you.
Last week I was lucky enough to get my hands on some of the Hilton Carter goodies at Target before they sold out. You can still find some of his items online and you might find some at your local Target. If you follow me on Instagram or Tik Tok @BuenoBrandi you might have seen some of the items I purchased.
I just went through and unpacked everything from our trip so I don’t think I left anything out. Once we arrived in Las Vegas we hit up REI for propane, went to whole foods for groceries and picked up a cooler, an extra sleeping pad, and an extra camp chair. Everything you see on the list is what I packed. Hope this list is helpful. If you have any questions about Zion or Bryce feel free to ask me. I also have ZION highlights on Instagram.
2 Person Tent - ours had lights inside and I love it, we also have a 4 person tent but we wanted to pack as light as possible.
Extra Tarp - to place under tent or provide shade when needed.
Self Inflatable Sleeping Pad- You want this if you want to be comfortable bc some of the ground does not have grass and its just rocks under you.
Sleeping Bag- Check weather to make sure you are bringing the right sleeping bag.
Head Lamp - just used it at night on the way to bathroom, no intense night hikes this trip.
Bio Lamp- We put this on our camp table while we cook and hang out.
Ear Phones- If you need to zone out and chill by yourself for awhile.
Ear Buds -If you wake up easy to noise, sometimes other campers are loud.
Power Banks - Because your phone and light sources are needed.
Phone Chargers - Charge every time you are in the car.
Compass - It’s always good to have one.
Hiking Poles- These save my knees.

SPF - Because you need it everyday. This isn’t sticky.

Life is Wild. We are already into March, can you believe that? A lot has changed in my world since last year.
I wasn’t able to work for two months because of this pandemic. This was not good for my mental health. I had a very unhealthy perspective of my importance or lack of importance during this time. It is something I am still working on.
I ended a 15 year relationship with my husband who I still loved and cared about but I knew this was what we both needed. There was a lot of “Christian Guilt” that I had to work out. That is all I am really going to say about that, at least for now.
About the same time we went through a very scary season with my Dad and not really knowing what was happening to him. This was the worst and I had to just keep going through the motions because life goes on. He is doing so much better now. I am so thankful for my Mom, Aunts, Uncles, Siblings, and friends who helped and supported us through this time.
I also love how God never lets me go through one trauma at a time. I actually appreciate him throwing it at me all at once so that I’m in so much pain that I turn into a zombie.
Moved homes. I love my house, its weird and old so there are some issues, but it’s fun living with my sister and her girlfriend Mik.
Even though there was a lot of pain there was a lot of good too, like reconnecting with Dante…
