I took a guided nature tour at Great Falls Park earlier in the month. The beautiful scenery and peaceful atmosphere is captivating. If you love the outdoors or nature, Great Falls is a must see!

Read on for the details and pics!

The Deets:

The park is located at 9200 Old Dominion Dr. McLean, Va 22102.

Admission is $20 per vehicle. An annual pass is $35.

Your $20 admission pass is valid for seven days, and it allows you entrance into the Chesapeake and the Ohio Canal National Park.

You have the option to choose a guided tour by a Park Ranger, this is a great choice if you want to learn about the history of the park.

I loved the guided tour option; I really enjoyed hearing about the history of the park

Ranger Chris was very patient and informative!

Be sure to bring bug spray and water to stay hydrated on the hike 😉

Great Falls is a cool place to experience with friends and family 💗

The most beautiful view, everyone was in awe of the Falls 😍

One of our last spots on the tour was this view of the mountains

Be sure to stop here to get your Junior Ranger activity book for kids!

Your admission fee includes admission to the other parks on the Maryland side

⭐Fun Fact: Did you know that most of the water from the Washington, DC area comes from Great Falls?

Well-Being: A Better Night's Sleep

Hello, Dolls A good night's sleep is something I've been chasing after for years. Like many people, my nights can be chaotic. Not to mention, I've been suffering with insomnia for years, yes years. It takes me a while to unwind and fall asleep, and when I finally do, I wake up several times throughout the night. I’ve taken several sleep aids and remedies through the years. I've tried teas, linen sleep sprays, over the counter and prescription aids, and almost every lavender night time product out there. Some were helpful at first, but after a while, I think my body got immune to it. So, I was very curious when Highline Wellness gifted me a bottle of their CBD Night gummies. I was skeptical at first, but they’re really working for me. The melatonin helps you to fall asleep, and CBD helps you to stay asleep. I’m able to fall asleep faster, and stay asleep longer. An added benefit is I don’t wake up the next morning experiencing grogginess like I’ve felt with ot...

Creme of Nature Lemongrass and Rosemary Leave-In Conditioner Review

After promising myself to take better care of my hair, I read in a hair care magazine that if you have breakage or dry hair (like my hair) to consider purchasing a leave-in conditioner, since you don't have to rinse it out-the conditioner keeps on working and conditioning your hair. This was perfect for me because I'm really lazy when it comes to styling and taking care of my own hair... usually I look for products that are easy and quick to use. I do use Creme of Nature's Detangling shampoo, so I figured I would buy their leave-in conditioner. FYI- Creme of Nature is a brand that specializes in hair care products for women of color, who have natural or relaxed hair. They mostly use natural ingredients in their products, which they call "Certified Organic." Product Claims "Pamper your hair with this creme-based formula to soften, detangle, and provide the ultimate conditioning. Perfect for color treated hair, organic Lemongrass works to tone and hig...
