Silver City is kind of an underrated city of #NewMexico, and those who do know of this are those who are most likely traveling to Gila National Forest since it’s an hour apart. New Mexico is known for its vibrant art culture! Coming upon and seeing the not-too-big downtown of #SilverCity, you can see so many nice artworks created by local artists randomly on walls of buildings or on the street. I love the use of bright colors too to give the city life!

“Hey Gabby, what you doing tonight? Did you want to go to a holiday party with me?” -my friend
“Sure.... when is it?”
“At 6pm”
“OH SH*^%T, I got to find something to wear!”
Did not expect to enter a fancy hotel with free delicious foods, play casino games without putting any real money in, dancing all night, and being entered into a raffle where I unfortunately didn’t win anything. So much fun 🎄🎅 (I cleaned up for once 😂) #holidayparty #happyholidays

The last few days I’ve been thinking back at all the amazing people I’ve met and made memories here in Arizona within the past year. I been blessed to come across such unique personalities and learn from them with their stories and more about things of life in general. I may not show people on this IG (that’s usually on my personal IG) or talk about them, but those people all know who they are. They taught me about what it’s like to put myself out there in a new place, to make me laugh so hard, how to be more comfortable with the outdoors since I never grew up knowing about or being in the outdoors, and to embrace the simple things in life when I’m going through a hard time. They especially taught me to not spend so much money going out all the time to have a good time. .
.
I never knew what a move can do to help you grow, to be confident, to be excited about many things, to be here in the moment. 3 years ago, I never would’ve thought of moving here, in fact I refused to, no matter how fun the first time I visited it. I couldn’t picture of just starting over a bit but if it wasn’t for my dad convincing me, I think I would’ve felt stuck of how broken I was prior. THANK YOU growth for playing its role. 🙏🏼 You made me stronger in many ways, and not just the fact I had very little experience in hiking a little more than a year ago, terrible balance, and now I can conquer 900+ elevation gains, though those contributed to a big part of the reasons.
.
Anyway, this hike was pretty cool. Heard a pack of coyotes howl in the distance (this is their territory) here in #SouthMountain and there’s a nice hidden tunnel to find here. Unfortunately, it got a bit too dark which made it eerie, but nonetheless a gem to see. Got to also continue out of the mountain night hiking. #Hike45/52 of @52hikechallenge ✅

Finally put up a picture of me that ain’t just nature lol. 💛 Tbh I been feeling more self-accepting and healthier. Just focused on my passion projects/work and consistently praying. I’ve been writing up some blog posts on my site lately about personal development and looking back at the hard 2 years I had in 2018-2019, I can say I’ve felt the growth. I don’t want to go in further details because you can read more about those on the site and my other posts. ANYWAY, I’m excited to keep up with this blog and I want to say thank you to everyone’s support with me for the last 2 years with @from1girlto1world! 🗺 And here’s to 3k followers! And to the hundreds of readers coming thru weekly. 🎉😬 Thank you guys!! 💕 #findingpurpose #sundayvibes #growth #valueyourwork #HappyDecember1st

Part 2: These #GilaCliffDwellings in #NewMexico has 40 rooms built inside these caves, they’re also a great highlight to visit in the Gila National Forest. 🌲The Puebloan people built these and used rock, mortar, and timber to build their Pueblo home inside the caves. To see these ruins is really going into the past, they are incredible ! The details of the artifact structures are very intricate. Sadly, these dwellings were vandalized by non-Indians but the @nationalparkservice does such a great job preserving and protecting this spot. It’s one of my favorite cliff dwellings I’ve seen so far (the Southwest has a lot of them) - I’ll probably say that again when I see more haha. .
.
The hike here is also not the easiest despite some reviews, but that is of course subjective. It’s pretty steep and the end to the cliff dwellings comes with slabs instead of stairs to step on then it becomes stairs again and then a ladder to climb up to the cave. You also get views of the forest and the river (which you can surely hear the water flowing while climbing to the cliff dwelling!). It’s beautiful all around. #Hike44/52 of the @52hikechallenge ✅

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 🦃 I’m thankful for another year to be here and for all my friends’ and family’s support and company and for YOU guys. I’m also thankful for my health, the freedom to enjoy nature, and for all the growth I’ve experienced within a year alone. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 💓 #thanksgiving

On another note: Did you know #GilaNationalForest has the Gila Wilderness, which was considered to become the first wilderness in the world in 1924? IT’S HUGE. Exploring Gila National Forest in New Mexico was such a wild drive, the mountain driving here goes over steep drops with no guardrails and has many winding roads but nonetheless, it’s beautiful at over 7,000 ft elevation. The Forest also cuts through the Continental Divide Trail! Experiencing this 3.3 million acres of unspoiled and remote beauty in New Mexico is incredible. In fact, the forest has about 337 bird species! 🦅 #findyourpark

I been loving the @seafloraskincare products that I use after feeling aches on my body! Especially since I’m always using my phone and computer to type up some marketing-related duties and when I go hiking - overusing your muscles is no bueno. The Sea Silk CBD Massage Oil and the CBD Healthy Healing Gel will reduce all types of aches, pains, and inflammation as you directly massage these products on your skin. They consist of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that you need, especially with the component of organic seaweed, just the richest mineral and vitamin source! .
.
Just like the soothing and beneficial properties you can find in hot springs, @seafloraskincare’s head-to-toe CBD massage oil and gel can help with skin problems (like scars and skin irritations) and relieve your body pains. Can’t find a hot spring near you? These products are seriously the closest thing. 😌 #sponsored #seaflora #organicproducts #healthylifestyle #CBD

New Mexico was an absolute gem to check out, even in the fall time. ✨ The Gila National Forest has the Gila Wilderness, the first designated wilderness in the world in 1924. Also part of the forest are a few hot springs you can find! Hot springs are rainwater or groundwater that are heated by the Earth’s surface (the magma). 💦 They are so beneficial to soak into because they can: boost blood circulation, relieve pain and aches, promote sleep, heal skin problems, and reduce stress. The Gila River is also right next to these set of springs. I felt so in touch with nature by the much needed healing of these hot springs😌 🙏🏼 I was able to sleep earlier that night after having sleeping problems for days and my skin felt exfoliated. I also felt more peaceful than usual... hmmm? #newmexico #gilanationalforest #hotsprings #natureheals

#TBT and because mood. ❄️ More snowy throwback shots!! There’s something about the way of clouds that surrounds snowy mountains. Oh and Bob Ross painting feels. 😌 Hope these pics bring you cozy vibes! #flagstaff #lastyear #winteriscoming #OptOutside

Can you believe it’s going to be Thanksgiving soon then when we get right into December, it’ll be the holiday season? Oh and winter!! ❄️ AND LASTLY, it’s about to end a decade (I read that technically the new decade is 2021)! 2020, here we come... 🤯 Are you guys excited or feel like time should slow a bit?
.
2019 felt a bit like 2018 for me but much more spiritual and eye-opening. Much more healing. I also felt more of an entrepreneur this year!! 2018, I was a college student and I felt like it was the beginning of actually experiencing adulthood. 2019 taught me more about what my purpose is and how to love myself and do things that will allow me to do that. Reflecting back is always interesting...
.
Anyway, here’s throwback pics of me from last winter when I was celebrating the holidays with my family and friend in #Flagstaff. ❄️ Since Flagstaff just experienced their first snow today since this storm that’s been happening in AZ last few days.

Today was #NationalTakeAHikeDay! 🥾 I love the sport of hiking. It’s changed me for the better and something I thought I’d never be capable of but it’s hands down my favorite way to exercise. Since participating in the @52hikechallenge in January, I have been more motivated to try to hike at least once a week. I’m 9 hikes away from completing the challenge as of now!
.
When I signed up to do the challenge, I did not think much of it. I came across their IG, it was a new year, and I moved to a new state (with a goal to have a new mentality) so I thought maybe I should go for it and it came at a perfect opportunity. Because of my consistent hiking, my mental health improved. My self-love strengthened. My body feels more physically fitter than its ever been. My ideas became clearer and I had more motivation to keep being this writer. I made memories. I got inspired by my profound obsession to see nature. I also traveled more because of it because if you want to truly see places, going by foot is the best way to. I’ve felt fears but I loved it. I’m excited to see where more of my hikes will take me and even when I get done, of course, I’m gonna continue. 😉
