Big announcement! We've received our first brand partnership. Western Rise, a men's apparel brand, reached out to us. They sent Chris a pair of their incredibly versatile pants, perfect for the outdoors. Chris has been loving them, wearing them on his hikes in the St. Croix River Valley and Up North, as well as on Monday Night Date Nights. They're comfortable and classy, and their versatility makes them a great investment. We're delighted. If you'd like to buy a pair for yourself or someone on your shopping list and save money, click our link westernrise.com/CHRISMELISSA15 and then enter the code CHRISMELISSA15 to receive 15% off.

You can see them in our video, "Is Glamping in a Tent Glamorous? Our 1st Experience in Wisconsin!". Watch the video to see the pants in action and how they hold up in the great outdoors. ‪@WesternRise‬ #westernrise
