A Weekend Getaway | Portland, Oregon

This birthday was the first that Jake + I have traveled. It was nice to get away for a bit. We settled on Portland, Oregon! I have never been. Here are the places I be bopped to during my latest orbit around the sun.

We chose Canopy by Hilton because of the asthetic! I am a sucker for jewel tones. The bed was very comfortable, there were windows in the bathroom and I loved the view of the city from here. A really solid choice if you want to stay downtown. The International Rose Garden, Voodoo Donuts and very cute dispenseries were all within walking distance and or public transit from the hotel.


SITE SEEING
The gardens were so beautiful. The lines were long for the Japanese- and why wouldn’t they be. So much beauty!! After going through the past two years looking at our 4 walls it was so good to breathe in fresh air and see all that nature has to offer. We walked a ton, but it was a really covid friendly experience.


Being a holistic esthetician, I had to drop by an natural based spa. Echo Natural Beauty squeezed me in and I got to relive some good moments with ladies I met a few years ago at a Laurel Whole Plant Organics Retreat.

My facial was done with Marie Veronique products. I enjoyed them so I took home a prebiotic mask.

Getting a facial was the top of the list because we have no one else in Evansville giving plant- based facials!









The food everywhere SERIOUSLY makes my top 10. There was more Asian inspired dishes than I would have thought possible in Portland. Every soup we had was freaking life altering. It is really hard to pick a favorite, but I really loved the vibe of HunnyMilk. I love sweet + savory and this place gave me the best of both worlds.

Found the cutest drinks everywhere we went! One of my favorites was Stem Wine Bar - we booked a wine tasting through Airbnb Experineces and it did not disapoint. Ahead of time they ask you questions to tailor the tasting. The place was adorable and the service was amazing. I also can’t forget how my bestie sent wine to my room to wake me up on my birthday!

All in all we had a good stay. Not a lot of cannibus content here, but it is plentiful in Portland.
