If I work a lot today, I should be free on both Saturday & Sunday, which has been pretty rare around here lately. Some girlfriends and I are planning on going to the Mount Hood area to hike and forage. I can't wait to escape the city for a bit!

I hope you'll have a great one and in the meantime, here are a few links from around the web:

• Zero Waste On The Go.

• Braving the Wilderness.

• Know your worth.

• Explore. Collect. Protect. (On Two Wheels and Two Feet)

• Why should we read Virginia Woolf?

• My Favorite Conscious Brands for Women.

• Vanlife as a Solo Female Traveler

• Test your own racial and gender prejudices.

• These reusable magnetic false lashes made me look.

• This perfectly illustrates the reasons for my mixed feeling about essential oils.

What are you up to this weekend?
