It’s been forever since I’ve had any travel-related blog posts to share (for obvious reasons), so I’m extra excited to talk about my visit to Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve this past weekend.

I’m also excited to announce that I’m collaborating with seven other fabulous bloggers to showcase cute activewear looks and spread the message that style is for every age.
