The Southwest Sampler Blog
Your guide to living beautifully in the desert & beyond.
Pull up a seat, pour yourself a coffee, and dive into the stories that shape this sun-soaked journey. The blog is where I share the heart of The Southwest Sampler — from secret weekend escapes and scenic spots to the best local lattes, wellness retreats, and everything in between.
Think of it as your digital guidebook to discovering Arizona (and beyond) — one curated adventure, charming café, or dreamy desert stay at a time.
Whether you're a Phoenix local or planning your next Southwest getaway, this is your insider’s guide to doing it all — beautifully.
10 May Events in Arizona

And TWO of them are events I am putting on myself, so be on the lookout for those!
