Hey Reader,

We've had a busy week — travel planning (mapping out our National Park road trip is no joke), a few great phone calls, filming some upcoming brand projects, some pickleball, and somehow experiencing snow, 75° temps, and 60mph winds all in the same week.

That being said, there are two things that dropped this week we wanted to make sure you knew about. First up...

National Park Playoffs!

We're kicking off the National Park Playoffs. It's a bracket-style tournament where all 63 U.S. national parks go head-to-head. Only one will be crowned champion.

Think college basketball brackets (that happen in March and April), but more scenic. And the best part? You can play along!

Every round, we pit two parks against each other, and the one with the most combined votes moves on.

Okay, here's really the best part... there's a prize. And it's a good one!

Win A Free Pair Of Blundstone Boots!

We just teamed up with Blundstone USA to give away a free pair of boots, up to $274 in value.
​
Katie picked up her first pair of Blundstones before we headed to Scotland last year and they ended up being her most-worn shoe the entire trip.
​
We've since become obsessed and have basically only worn them for the past few months.
​
We reached out to Blundstone when we got home and made this giveaway happen.

Our Latest Favorite Things!

​Haven Jogger: Katie has been living in these. Comfortable enough to lounge around in, but she's also worn them to dinner and out on the pickleball court. One of those pieces where you put them on once and suddenly everything else in your closet feels wrong.

​Daily Drop Pro: We've been spending a lot of time thinking about what our channel looks like once we finish the National Park trip, and we both agreed — we want to travel internationally a lot more. So every few days we jump on Daily Drop Pro and browse flight deals. Last week we were seriously tempted by deals to Hong Kong and Rome. Dangerous app to have on your phone.

​Kindle: We've been reading a lot lately, it's become our replacement for doom scrolling. We both finished the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and can't wait for the new book in a few weeks. In the meantime, Joey dove into DCC author Matt Dinniman's previous work — starting with the Dominion of Blades series and now he's onto Operation Bouncehouse. Katie is working through the Finlay Donovan series by Elle Cosimano. Highly recommend all of the above.

​Hydro Flask With Flex Straw: Joey picked this up at a creator meet-up. It's a special USA Red, White & Blue colorway, which is fun. First water bottle he's ever had with a straw and it turns out that's kind of a big deal — way easier to drink while on the treadmill. 10/10 would recommend.

​Darn Tough Hiker Micro Crew Cushion Socks: Extremely comfortable and built to handle wild temperature swings. It seems insane to wear Merino Wool socks when it's warm, but they do the best job at wicking away sweat — which means less smell!

That's it for now!
Joey & Katie
