We finally made it to The Shire (or at least the one less than an hour from Nashville - @forestgully) What an amazing little getaway and sanctuary this place is. I’ll be writing a full post on the blog soon with all the details! Have you ever stayed in a hobbit hole or LOTR themed accommodation?! #forestgullyfarms #forestgully #tennessee #tennesseelife #tennesseephotographer #tnvacation #tennesseephotography #tennesseegirl #hobbithouse #hobbithole #hobbiton #hobbitlife #theshire #lotr #lordoftherings #roadtrip #roadtriptennessee #tennesseelove #nashvilleexplorersclub #nashvillegetaway #thisissustainable #sustainabletravel #nashvillestaycation #staycation #instagramtennessee

Today is #Unthanksgiving and #TurkeyFreeThanksgivi

Today is #Unthanksgiving and #TurkeyFreeThanksgiving to me. I’m all about showing gratitude and spending time with family (although I made the difficult decision to not see family today), but I can’t celebrate the typical reason today is celebrated. My mind immediately goes to the 46 million turkeys slaughtered just for TODAY. Also, to the Indigenous people who continue to be marginalized. Unthanksgiving Day (also known as The Indigenous Peoples Sunrise Ceremony) is an event held on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay to honor the indigenous peoples of the Americas and promote their rights. #thanksgiving #thanksgiving2020 #thanksgivingday #unthanksgiving2020 #indigenouspeoplesday #indigenous #indigenouspeople #indigenouslivesmatter #indigneouspeoplesmovement #nativeamerican #nativeamericanheritagemonth #nativeamericans #veganthanksgiving #turkeysofinstagram #turkeystagram #veganlife #vegansofig #vegancommunity #friendsnotfood #turkeysarefriendsnotfood

I voted and all I got was this sticker.... and hopefully - basic human rights
- a right to choose what to do with my body
- to not continue to drown in student debt
- to see BIPOC and LGBTQ+ no longer treated less than
- to not be afraid to need to go to the ER
- the list goes on... Here’s to hoping I have fingernails still come Wednesday. #ivoted #vote #vote2020 #voteblue2020 #votehimout #voteforchange #votevotevote #votelikeyourlifedependsonit #voteblue #votingmatters #votingrights #votingplan #election2020 #election #blacklivesmatter #humanrights #humanrightsactivist

HOW I PLAN TO VOTE: This year, I plan to vote ho

HOW I PLAN TO VOTE:
This year, I plan to vote how I usually do – in person, early voting. I much prefer early voting even in a "normal" year as it spreads out the crowd (which I'm a fan of even in non-COVID times) and it gives you many more options to work with your busy schedule. Also, when you vote early, you can go to ANY of the polling locations in your county and not just your designated one. This is also very helpful for schedule conflicts and convenience.
THINGS TO DO BEFORE VOTING:
Have you made a voting plan yet?
Check that you're registered.
Have a plan (in person or by mail, where and what day).
Find the deadlines for voting where you live.
Make a plan to go with a family member or friend (safely, of course).
If you're immune compromised or have been around someone or you yourself have shown COVID symptoms, voting by mail is important. Make sure to check TODAY to make sure to request your mail-in ballot.
Text "POWER" to 668366 to commit to voting this November and invite all of your friends to do the same! (Msg and data rates may apply.) You will receive a personalized reminder to make your voice heard and vote before the voting period is over and by election day. It's like your own personal hype man!
@the.vegan.hobbit @coleman_concierge @endlessdistance – how are you planning to vote this year?!

Want to hear something ridiculous? Out of the 2.5

Want to hear something ridiculous? Out of the 2.5 year we’ve been together, we’ve been on zero trips together. We’ve done a couple staycations around Nashville and planned a few trips that got cancelled. So when the opportunity came up to reschedule our trip to Ohio after postponing earlier in the area, we jumped on it. @themohicans is PERFECT anytime but especially now when socially-distant and nature-focused road trips are the best way to get away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the newest treehouse at The Mohicans - The View - with its floor to ceiling windows. Look for more about our trip soon but I just wanted to share! #wildhearted #themohicans #mohicanstatepark #mohicans #treehouse #treehouses #treehouselife #getaway #getaways #unplugged #unplug #roadtrip #ohio #ohioexplored #ohiostate #ohiogram #ohiofindithere #ohioisbeautiful #fallvibes #fallfoliage #fallcolors #couplegoals #weekendvibes #weekendgetaway #weekendmood

Did you know that October is Fair Trade Month? This means I am super excited to partner with Fairtrade America to bring awareness to you about this important topic. @fairtrademarkus is on a mission to better the lives of farmers and workers all over the world and this month is meant to bring awareness to the importance of choosing #Fairtrade certified products and to celebrate the people who produce the things we count on (and enjoy – let’s be honest) every day such as coffee and chocolate. Fairtrade America has commissioned three new murals across the US and lucky me (and you!), one of them is in Nashville and it just got completed! A partnership with Turnip Truck on Charlotte and acclaimed local artist TaraBella Aversa (@tmamurals) produced this absolutely stunning piece of art. Rosine is the main focus of the mural and is surrounded by vibrant colors, the imagery of the cocoa plant, and the orange sunset (that seconds as a halo). Tara wanted to create a beautiful mural to honor Rosine’s beauty, strength, and independence. Tara says “the sun never sets on a badass!" This specific mural is inspired directly by a cocoa farmer and themed around a key area of impact for Fairtrade: gender equality.
Aside from obviously going and enjoying the mural, it’s a great time to take a step back and consider the choices you make every day, especially at the grocery store.
#ChooseFairtrade: Choose the World You Want. Choosing simple everyday actions like purchasing a Fairtrade certified product over a non-certified product makes a huge difference. Fairtrade America tackles unequal power relationships by strengthening women and girls’ human, social, financial, and physical capital via the Fairtrade Standards that ban gender-based discrimination and encourage democratic governance structures, and regional schools centered on sharing the tools and resources women need to succeed. Plus, Fairtrade America is giving away FIVE prize packs every WEEK for the month of October. Each pack will contain a mural print, a Fairtrade tote bag, a $25 gift card to stock up on Fairtrade groceries, and a bag of Kaladi Coffee Roasters coffee. Visit my stories or bio to enter!
