Desert Days- Joshua Tree
“The desert is the theater of the human struggle of searching for God.”
The desert is a very spiritual place. Across the span of time many cultures and religions make reference to going out into the wilderness for clarity of self or to deepen a spiritual connection to a higher being. I wanted to make Joshua Tree one of the first places I visited since starting this blog and leave any fears I had about taking on this new venture behind. The desert is a place I can come to recharge, reflect and simply express gratitude.
Joshua Tree is just forty minutes outside of Palm Springs so it's easy to get in a two for one trip if you decide to visit both. If you're making a trip to Los Angeles I highly suggest you work in a few extra days to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and visit this magical, mystical place. I would suggest staying in one of the airstreams you can book through Airbnb, like this one for a new and fun travel experience. Enjoy a night under a starry sky, set your intentions and release them into the universe.
I love easy breezy desert looks. Comfort is key for me on trips like this. Shop some of my favorite dessert looks below!
