Hey y'all!! As most of y'all know I just returned from my trip to Glen Haven, Colorado. I go to Colorado every year with my whole family to visit my great grandmother. I love it up there even though there isn't any wifi or cell service!! I thought I'd share a few pictures from our trip! 

 I took this picture going into Estes park, which is about 15 minutes from our cabin. The Rocky Mountains looked so pretty! 

This was in Rocky Mountain National Park it was only about 48 degrees but in this photo it looks warm! 

On our way back from pikes peak we saw elk and even snow! Crazy right? Snow in the middle of July! 

This stream goes right by our cabin. It's so close at night you can hear it! It actually flooded two years ago and wiped out most of the town of Glen Haven. 

I took this on our hike up to deserted village. Since the flood, you can't make it to the village anymore because the trail was washed away. 

Behind the cabin, there is the perfect trees to hang our Eno and enjoy the scenery! 

In front of the cabin, there is a meadow with wild flowers growing. It's gorgeous! 

We went horse back riding at moraine  stables. The gorgeous view was worth being sore the next day! 

This is where we feed the chipmunks at my great grandmothers cabin! In the morning we put out feed for them and all during the day they sit on the rock and eat! 

That's all the pictures I have for today! If you find yourself near Glen Haven, visit Steve and Becky at the general store and get one of Becky's famous cinnamon rolls! 

XO, Taylor

What's in my beach/pool bag?

Hey everyone! So as all of you might know ITS SUMMER!! And summer means you can do whatever you want and because I live in Charleston, SC that means i have a beach literally in my backyard.  Me and my friends are always in the water so a beach bag is essential!

Mine is from Ooh Baby Infinity on Etsy

Its super cute and click the link to get yours!!

Now for the good stuff: what's inside!

The most important thing when you are doing water activities is a towel and mine from belk!

Another thing I love to have is a hat but i forgot the seller but you can get one similar from easy!

I kinda have a bathing suit obsession but I love this suit from Lilly Pulitzer

Everyone should have a good pair of flip flops like mine from rainbow.

YOU CANT FORGET YOUR SUNSCREEN!!

I love using my monogram shirt from Charleston Monograms as a coverup!!

Everytime I go to the beach or the pool I ALWAYS bring this box to keep water from getting on my important things!

This is what I keep in my box: my phone, body spray, a brush, kookie, my wallet, sunglasses, and some hair ties.

And that's it! This is what I keep in my beach bag and I hope you enjoy!!

So if y'all wanted to know what our instagram looks like this is it!

Very bright and colorful and stands out!

Well guess what WE ONLY USE ONE APP!

AVAIRY

it looks like this

These are our steps to editing!

1.) crop it into a square  

2.) go to the enhance tool and press the scenery button.  It makes the picture   

brighter and more vibrant with one button!

3.) go to the color tab and press the warmth button and turn it all the way down

4.) go to the color tab again and turn the saturation up a little bit

5.) sharpen the picture a little to make it more better quality

6.) brighten it up with the brightness tool

NOW YOU ARE DONE!!

You should now have an @thescprep worth picture to post!
