I’ve been driving by a gorgeous landscape in Menifee filled with beautiful rock formations and greenery for weeks on end now. And every time I passed the patch of untouched desert-land, my soul cried, “Needing!”
At the same time, I’ve been spending a lot more time with my extended cousin and new friend, Shariah. She’s a college freshman, with a beautiful down to earth and carefree spirit. And oh, did I mention she’s former Miss Riverside County?! Yes. If I was ever looking for a perfect adventure partner and model, I thought of Shariah and my soul cried, “Needing!”

So long story short, that soul of mine was pretty much oozing with happiness when we put the two together. And then out came these snapshots of beautiful Shariah in the beautiful desert and setting sun.

It couldn’t have been a more perfect night. Despite a few areas where some wanderers have clearly made a home amidst the rocks or deposited their waste, we couldn’t get enough of the mostly untouched rocks and colors.

Basically, I’ve already told my husband to be prepared to pack a basket and blanket, cause we’re heading to the hills for a sunset dinner date one of these days!

But being real, though.
Thank you Shariah for adventuring with me.
You rocked.
No pun intended. 😉
