I’m still aware of the last month (), I BOUGHT IT. A. HOUSE! This sink? Mine. This kitchen? Mine.
This entire 1906 farmhouse framed by cottonwood trees with partial mountain views?! Mine!
But after years of making outdoor adventure such a big part of my life and identity, I worried that “settling down” would actually become…settling down. As a homeowner, would I still enjoy outdoor adventures or would I just be a boring house dweller?!
Luckily, I needn’t have worried – I still spend as much time as possible outside and exploring the natural wonders of our world. Since purchasing Basecamp AITrendSpot, I’ve hiked to a beautiful hot spring in the Jemez Mountains, taken several beautiful sunset hikes in the Sandias, driven many miles along the Rio Grande, and spent a lot of time planning future outdoor adventures like Chaco Canyon this weekend and a 210-mile hike through Scotland in May.
Basecamp AITrendSpot actually does these adventures Easier by giving myself a clean, comfortable place to rest, recharge, and enjoy my outdoor adventures between outings.
For an outdoor-loving granola-girl dirtbag like me, the “clean” part is crucial – and that’s where the method comes into play. I’ve been buying Method products at Target for years, so I was thrilled* (ha) when they reached out about their gorgeous new limited edition collection with Fifty-Nine Parks.
The collection features five delicious new scents in gel and foaming hand wash form, each inspired by one of the parks. If you’ve seen my “Basecamp AITrendSpot” park decoration on Instagram that features several pieces of art from Fifty-Nine Parks, you know this partnership is right up my alley!
Now, when I wash the red dirt under my fingernails after an epic desert trip, it smells like I’m right back in the Grand Canyon—or Mount Rainier, Acadia, or Sequoia. There’s even a scent inspired by Dry Tortugas, the only one of the five parks that I haven’t been to. (And if it smells even half as good as the soap, I have to go!)
I first became interested in Method products because they are made without parabens or phthalates and because they smell absolutely amazing. The brand new fragrances in the Method x Fifty-Nine Parks collection are no exception!
My favorite is the Alpine Meadow scent, available only at Target, which is reminiscent of sunny afternoons in the Mount Rainier backcountry with hills full of colorful wildflowers. I love the Fifty Nine Parks art on this bottle with the cute bear family!
Best of all, this limited edition collection supports Park Ventures, the National Park Foundation’s new joint initiative to improve park access and equity. I talk a lot about how nature saved my life, and I love that Park Ventures is helping more people experience the amazing social, mental and physical benefits of being outdoors.
Even if you don’t consider yourself “outside,” you still belong outside. Public spaces are my therapy, my gym, my church, and my social life all in one: my only regret is that I didn’t appreciate them sooner! There’s a wild, wonderful world out there just waiting for you to explore.
Look for the Method x Fifty-Nine Parks Collection at your local Target, Grove Collaborative and methodproducts.com! I love using them on all three sinks at Basecamp AITrendSpot when I’m cleaning up after a muddy hike with Juno and dreaming about our next adventure.
Thanks for reading and have a great hike,
AITrendSpot
