The Trip That Helped Me Get My Creative Spark Back 🌿 Summer Days in Upstate New York Travel Vlog

Hello lovely friends! It's been a hot minute, but I'm excited to share a little summer vacation vlog with you! I spent a few days in the Finger Lakes in Upstate New York and had the loveliest time disconnecting from reality and escaping into nature. I've been feeling pretty burned out creatively and was hoping that this trip would give me my spark back. At the end of the video I have a heart-to-heart chat post-trip to share how I've been struggling/feeling lately and how this trip really helped me come home to myself. I hope you enjoy!
