Bar Harbor, Maine is one of those New England destinations I keep coming back to. And Thousand Trails offers the most comfortable & remote camping experience. @thousandtrails #ad  Some of my favorite travel memories involve slowing down and spending time outdoors, so being able to truly connect with nature like this is such a treat. Here you can pitch a tent, rent an RV or stay in a cabin, while soaking in the serene atmosphere.  There’s just something special about ending the day around a campfire with s’mores, good conversation, and nothing but the sounds of nature around you.  If you’re planning a trip to Maine this season and want a more laid-back way to experience Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, check out Mt Desert Narrows Campground with Thousand Trails.  Use code JESS15 to save 15% off your stay!  #ThousandTrails #100DaysofCamping

These niche summer feelings can be experienced almost anywhere and I know I’m not alone in feeling giddy when they resurface every year, especially all the “firsts” of the season.  Here are a few specific summer things that make me insanely happy:  1. Waking up & getting ready on the first day of vacation down The Cape or the islands.   2. Watching everyone collectively lose their minds on the first 80-something day.  3. Talking and laughing for hours on someone’s back deck or restaurant patio.  4. Saying phrases like, “Can you believe this weather?” and “We earned this.”   5. The first time you drive with your windows down on the way to the beach.  6. Looking for seals every single time you’re near the water.  7. Deciding to go to the beach in the late afternoon instead.   8. The first lobster roll of the season. It’s not summer until you order one of these, even if it’s the only time you do.   9. The smell of the grill, burgers, and hot dogs at a cookout.  10. The first outdoor concert, festival, or town band performance.  11. The buzz you feel in a lively atmosphere after ordering your second Aperol Spritz as the live band warms up.  12. Getting an ice cream cone at the local creamery at dusk in a sweatshirt and shorts  13. Realizing the water is actually warm enough to swim in August.  14. Getting that spontaneous text from a friend: “Do you want to come over for a firepit?”  15. Watching the sunset and thinking “We are so lucky to live here.”  But the one that always hurts: hearing someone say, “Summer’s already flying by.”  Enjoy your Summer in New England, my friends. It is always fleeting.   What would you add to the list?  #newengland #newenglandsummer #coastalliving

A little BTS of my brand trip to Nantucket with @cruoftwopr ☀️  While every trip is different, this Nantucket retreat with Cru of Two PR was one of the best examples of how brands can create meaningful experiences instead of simply showcasing products. We had the opportunity to meet the people behind the products, learn their stories, and connect in ways that felt authentic and memorable.  As someone who values experiences over things, these are the partnerships that stand out.  Here’s the itinerary:  ✨ DAY 1
• Arrivals and check-in
• Relaxation by the pool 
• Welcome sips and snacks with @mahigold
• Sunset cruise around Nantucket with @discoverboating 
• Dinner & interior design tour at @thenantucket  ✨ DAY 2
• Morning yoga with @yoga.with.emmy & @oofos 
• Lunch at @ciscobrewers with @oofos 
• Free time to explore the island - Went to @bartlettsfarm, @nantucketlooms, @mitchellsbookcorner, & @nantucketjuicebar 
• Happy hour and charm bar with @reebok 
• Waterfront dinner at @straightwharffish with @reebok 
• Mudslides at @tavernandgazebo_nantucket (RIP?🥲)  ✨ DAY 3
• Bike ride to Cisco Beach
• Needlepoint class with @ericawilsonnantucket & @drinkolipop 
• More relaxation by the pool before departures  Huge thank you to @cruoftwopr for bringing together such an incredible group of women and creating an itinerary that showcased both the brands and the magic of Nantucket so beautifully. 🤍  Let me know if you have any questions about the brands or things we did!
