My favorite season and time of year is officially back, hello Autumn!! 🍂🍁 Interrupting the forthcoming blast of Europe photos. Yesterday we decided to get out to enjoy the last day of the fair and get ourselves back into normalcy. It’s bittersweet as always returning after a long holiday; missing Europe already but very happy to be back to my bed and regular water pressure showers lol! #travel #lifeofadventure #adventure #autumn #fall #blogger #lifestyle #ootd #lifestyleblogger #hippie #fromwhereistand #outfitoftheday #theflourishinghippie #fallfashion #happy #portraits #makeportraits #wastatefair #puyallupfair #washingtonstatefair2019 #washingtonstatefair #fair #statefair

I stood as close as I could getting drenched with my raincoat flying out behind me and I was completely moved by the beauty of nature. #theflourishinghippie #flourishinginiceland #travel #traveler #travelerinreykjavik #traveliceland #iceland #europe #europetravel #europeanadventure #adventure #lifestyle #lifestyleblogger #blogger #visiticeland #nature #waterfall #rainbow #skogafoss #skogafosswaterfall
