How to Stay Safe While Running in Your Local Area
Pexels – CC0 License Running as a form of exercise is great for the body, provided you learn good form and keep good practice without burning yourself out. But it’s also true that heading out into the world can come with its own dangers, especially if you’re going to be exercising and tiring yourself out a little. Putting yourself into a wider environment where other people, and often vehicles, are moving around just as much as you requires clear observation and an understanding of the risks involved. That’s not to say going for a tri-weekly run is a deeply dangerous activity, but like any external expedition, it’s best to be…

Build a Glamping Dome in Your Backyard with Phoenix Domes
Story by Cassie Hepler The price of housing is outrageous all across the United States. This is a not-so-fun fact we all feel from greedy corporate entities and our own government squeezing citizens for every last dime through creeping to 40% taxes on everything you do, eat, drink and where you live.

It was still the Wild West which reminded me why I moved here in the first place… laws are a little loosey goosey. That road trip also included an overnight in the wild, weird…

Explore Islas Marías, Former Prison Islands in Nayarit, Mexico
Story, photos, videos by Cassie Hepler If you have a dark edge to your soul like me, this all-the-feels Islas Marías (Mary Islands) will resonate well. I have this new thing I do, where I say yes to everything and figure it out later. This trip was one of those yes moments while I was still on a private press trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I had no clue what I was agreeing to but I’m always up for an adventure, twice if I like it. Here’s the thing about Mexico: it’s got a bad rap in the United States even though honestly, the United States is starting to…
