Penn’s Cave exploration

 in Travel  tagged central pa / lifestyle by

Pennsyvania has a rich landscape with a huge number of natural resources. One of the perks of this abundance of resources is that the state offers several caves to explore. On a recent trip to central Pennsylvania, we decided to explore another cave. I had heard good things about Penn’s Cave and Wildlife Park, so we decided to check it out!

Since it was very cold, we only purchased tickets for the cave tour and not the wildlife tour. I am sure the wildlife tour is amazing, but on this day we were only interested in the cave. I am so glad we toured the cave! It was an amazing experience and would be fun to check out again, maybe on a warmer day not in the middle of winter. haha

The tour of Penn’s Cave is about fifty minutes and takes place on a boat. It is incredibly interesting to hear the history of the cave and how it has been created over centuries. Our tour guide was extremely informative and taught us the history of the cave and the area. It was so cool!

If you travel to Pennsyvania, be sure to check out Penn’s Cave! You can learn more at pennscave.com.

Pop of pink on a winter day

A black top and a comfy pair of jeans is a common go-to look for many people. It is easy to put together and always looks chic. When I wear a black top and jeans, I always like to add a pop of another color. Lately, I have been in a pink mood, so I added a pop of pink!

This black sweater has become my go-to black top these fall and winter seasons. It is perfect to wear alone, or under a cozy down coat. As with any black top, it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. You may have seen me wear this sweater quite a bit this season! It will carry me through winter and spring and will get pulled out again for frequent wear next fall too. Love that! It’s all about investment dressing!

I recently wore this outfit for a ramen meal with my family. It was the perfect cozy look for a cozy meal. Love!

If you are looking for a cozy sweater priced well under $100, this is it!

Thanks for stopping by.

Chanel spring 2025 nail polish: Chanel Artiste / Chanel Poete /

A happy and cheerful spring nail polish collection is here! For the spring 2025 season, Chanel is giving us a cheerful, peachy hue named Chanel Poete as well as a minty green in Chanel Artiste. There is an upbeat vibe with the Chanel Spring 2025 nail polish collection. Love!

Chanel has given us two vibrant pastels for the spring season, and I am here for it! With a peachy hue for traditional nails, which works well in a conservative office environment, Chanel Poete nail polish is ideal for the traditionalist. If you want a more avant-garde vibe, Chanel Artiste nail polish offers an on trend, mint green which is fun to wear and plays well with spring’s color palette.

I tested both Artiste and Poete out with one base coat, and two coats of color. They are both cream nail polish formula’s which go on smoothly in two coats, without streaking. Love that!

So, without further ado, here is the Chanel nail polish collection for the spring 2025 season!

I am currently typing away in Chanel Artiste nail polish. I love this color and plan to wear it often. Of course, I will switch things up depending on my mood and activities, but Artiste is definitely my favorite spring nail polish color of the season. Love it!

Which Chanel nail polish spring 2025 color do you like best?

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for more spring coverage!
