Things to do in the DMV~Great Falls Park! 💚

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?

Mac Face and Body Foundation Review

One of my most used foundations is the Mac Face and Body liquid foundation. I've been promising a review on it, so here it is. Product Claims "A water-based, water-resistant foundation that provides long-lasting, natural coverage for face and/or body. Ideal for all skin types.

It's in a 4 fl oz bottle. -Because it's water based it doesn't feel heavy, it feels very light on the face. ...

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.

Update & My Current Beauty Faves

Hey, Glamour Dolls! How are you all?! Long time no post...it feels good to finally write something on here. What's been going on with me? Just life. I've been busy and focused on a few things; which has been leaving me drained and given me a lack of desire to do anything else. Things have been all work and no play for a while and I'm finally getting my balance back again (sigh of relief!). Thankfully, I go on vacation in a few weeks. I hope to write a few more posts before I leave :-) As far as beauty news, I have been using products in my own stash-I have bought a few things here and there and I did purchase a big haul from a Mac Pro class I took the beginning of October (more about that in another post). Here are some of my faves that I've been using constantly using since the last time I posted. KISSABLE COUTURE GLOSSES I bought these glosses at The Makeup Show back in May and I've been loving them every since. The glosses are really long wea...
