5 packing essentials for co

1. Polaroid
Polaroid print outs are almost cool enough on their own. Can you imagine throwing up a photo against a snowy mountain for a background? Insta gold.

2. Knitted Socks
​I can't give you any other explanation other than the fact that one day you might be super sweaty in the Garden of the Gods, and then find yourself freezing in a few towns over. With this in mind, I'm packing knitted socks for my next trip. 

3. Baseball Cap or Snapback
Who has time to shower when you want to see as much as you can?! Packing your fav hat can save you a bucket of time when it comes to getting ready. Plus, hats are artsy and keep those dang baby hairs out of your face.

4. Drug Rug
Don't roll your eyes! You can't tell me you've never envisioned yourself hiking up a mountain with this comfy attire on. 

5. Journal
I feel like I remember things at the worst times. If I'm hiking up a mountain, and remember I didn't reschedule a coffee date with Cynthia, I'm gonna wanna write it down. Yes, using your phone is so much easier. But, wouldn't it be cool to jot down some mini revelations and be able to hang it on your mirror? I don't know, "What I learned in the Mountains" has a nice ring to it, but I'm also pretty lame.
