The east facing cliffs of Presque Isle. You can access this spot via car when the drive is open, and if you park along the side just beyond where the lookout/boardwalk view is, you’ll find a tiny path, that’ll take you right to this spot. Stunning. Vast views of Lake Superior, the Presque Isle Breakwater Lighthouse, cliffs, and if you head there early enough, a sunrise view.

I headed over to the east side of the Upper Peninsula to capture some content for a video I’m working on, and it was a lovely excuse to spend an evening in Paradise and make my way up to Whitefish Point. I stayed at the Paradise Lakefront Lodge, walked over to dinner at The Inn, drank blackberry wine and ate wings, got their famous carrot cake to-go. Relaxed on the balcony with a view of Lake Superior, took a drive up to Whitefish Point to snap photos, windows down and music up on the way home, some of my favorite kind of moments.

Popping in with a short and sweet blog post today from Bum’s Beach! It’s still been quite chilly here in the Upper Peninsula, so I’ve been layering up a lot, rockin’ this 90s trucker jacket over everything in a pinch, but definitely ready to just wear my spring/summer outfits without always having to layer up! But I mean, it’s pretty much that way until the 4th of July, even beyond. Before I moved here, I used to joke you could still wear your heaviest sweater in summer in the UP. It’s true! 😆

Ahhhh, lilacs blooming in June in Marquette. 💜✨🌸 One of my favorite times of the year. I mean, fall is still my favorite, but this is definitely a close second. Along with… the end of August warm beach vibes, and the quiet, fresh snowfall-y day in winter. I mean, every season up here is a dream (well except maybe mud/bug season), but once the lilacs pop off… swooooon. You’ll catch your girl going out of her way running on the trail or walking outside to hit a fresh whiff of a lilac bush, that’s for sure.

Seul Choix Pointe Lighthouse, pronounced Sis-shwa, means "only choice". It was named by the French who found it was the only harbor of refuge in this part of Lake Michigan. This was my first time back here since living in the Upper Peninsula. I love revisiting places up here, I swear it just never gets old, I think it’s a good sign I was meant to live here, and not just be a visitor. So grateful life worked out in a way that one of my biggest life dreams could come true while I’m still young enough to enjoy a lifetime of it. Ugh, did I just tear up?! 🥺

Another year in the books at the tulip fields! 🌷 I ventured over to Veldheer Tulip Gardens this year, and timed it out just right. Yes, it makes for a pretty outfit backdrop, but it’s just become so much more meaningful than that. I love tradition, love seasonal activities, and this just checks the box in terms of… filling up my heart and soul cup! But yeah, beautiful as always, magical AF, what a dreamy location.
