I decided to start this blog as a creative outlet, as a way to connect with new friends and as a resource for ways to live a happy, healthy life in a busy urban environment.
I am a born and raised New Yorker and am happy to be able to live with my family in such a great city, but I also love the outdoors and spending summers in Maine -- thus the blog name. My fantasy is one day to retire to a cabin in the woods and eat copious amounts of lobster. I try to bring some peace, positivity and nature into my super-hectic city life and plan to post things that encourage others to do the same!
Part of my struggle to keep my life simple is managing to carry around all the stuff I need for my daily life without having a car or an office to store things in. On that note, I just scored myself this adorable new LeSportsac gym bag with a bunch of coupons and discounts that made it come out to under $30 (from $75):
I am planning a post soon on how to shower and get dressed at the gym without leaving looking like a drowned rat (something I struggle with daily).
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for future posts!
