Rent the Runway, Europe Edition

August 7, 2022 by stephanie.cornais |

I realize showing my Europe trip outfits is super bougie, but fashion makes me happy and sharing outfit ideas is fun. Here are some pictures of my Rent the Runway outfits that I wore this summer while my family and traveled to the UK, France and Italy.

Things To Do in Chamonix, France

August 1, 2022 by stephanie.cornais |

Chamonix, France is located in the Alps, near Switzerland and Italy.

I just finished up a three month long course on Co I just finished up a three month long course on Coastal Ecosystems with UF/IFAS. I’m working towards my Florida Master Naturalist Certification. 

One of my assignments was to give an interpretive presentation on a species that lives in a coastal habitat, but not give any facts. 

I talked about how I love Brown Pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis), and watching them fly and hunt is such a delight, because they remind me of my Dad. He was a fighter pilot, air jumper, and straight shooter. I could watch these birds all day!

No gym for me today! Not pictured: breaking up t No gym for me today! 

Not pictured: breaking up the old, dried out soil with a shovel, lugging soil bags from the nursery to my car, then lugging them from my car to the garden. 

This will be my first time gardening in a community garden. I grew up on an avocado farm with a vegetable garden and chicken coup, and have always had gardens at my house and/or at school, but gardening in a shared space like this is a first for me. 

I wasn’t sure how things were going to shake out for me in Jacksonville, but I immediately put my name on the waitlist for this garden when I got to town.  A year and half later, I finally got a plot!
