Cheers to love!🥂Love of adventure Love of travel Love of the outdoors Love of pets and animals Love of food (hopefully not those same animals) Love of friends Love of family (that you get along with) And, of course, romantic love. Happy Valentine’s Day, here are two cutesy things I wanted to share. Cheers, Hanna 💕 I wrote for Well + Good! About XC Skiing!Yayyy!!! I got another byline writing an easy, breezy, beautiful story of “How Learning To Cross-Country Ski With My Partner Brought Us Closer Together” for Well + Good. Published just in time for Valentine’s Day, I am proud to have written this personal essay. Okay, I had too much fun writing this article, incorporating as many cheesy romance lines and fun phrases as I could because I wanted the story to reflect my joyous attitude toward learning to cross-country ski. And, of course, my partner is always right there with me, making me laugh the entire time. See if you can catch my Flight of the Conchords reference in the text. For a light and fluffy read, check out my article on Well + Good, “How Learning To Cross-Country Ski With My Partner Brought Us Closer Together“!! Caught on Social Media: XC Skiing at Hoodoo Ski ResortMy XC Skiing love is not imaginary. It is real and corroborated by Hoodoo Ski Resort’s recent Valentine’s Day Instagram post. This last Saturday, they had a fun “Enchanted Nordic Trek,” which my partner and I ended up participating in. We got roses, chocolate-covered strawberries, and some fun swag from Five Pines Lodge, a hotel just over the pass from me. It was a gorgeous bluebird day out, and we did 8 miles making loops around the tracks. Peep the social media post below - too funny. |
