Outdoor Divas.

Forty minutes from hiking with dirty socks, ponytails, sweaty Ts, and Nalgenes, to dresses, heels, mascara, and curls. Yes, we are Outdoor Divas.

The phrase is coined from a cute shop in Boulder, where we decided it was perfect, quintessential us. We both love to hike and get dirty in all sorts of outdoor things -- from water to horses to quads to workout -- but love just as much to pull out our dresses and skirts and pearls and heels.

So, Kate, here's to us, and all the others like us. Outdoor Divas, who love the dirty and the climb, but can pull of a dress and gloss at the same time. I love it. Bring it.

Random Side Notes: [My sister once told me that this is why its hard to set me up with guys, because I like too many things.

My dad takes pride in the fact that my mom was that way. She would have waders on in the pond muck during the day and be as classy as every in a dress that same night. He loved that about her... And I love that part of her in me...]
