15 Adventure Ideas That Anyone Can Do
2 Hearts Coming to Theater near you in September
When was the last time you saw a movie in a theater? I haven\’t been to a movie in a theater at all this year, and typically I go at least once a month. It\’s crazy to think that I haven\’t stepped foot in one at all this year. The exciting news is that movies are finally getting theater release dates again. If you\’re like me, you may not be ready to step foot into a theater at this moment. However, in a couple months I think I will be ready. Especially for 2 Hearts, I mean who couldn\’t use a romantic drama in their life right now?
Freestyle Releasing has set a September 11 date for the romantic drama, 2 Hearts and I cannot wait! The movie will feature Jacob Elordi (that hunky guy from The Kissing Booth on Netflix), Tiera Skovbye (Riverdale), Adan Canto (Designated Survivor, Narcos), and Radha Mitchell (Man on Fire).
About 2 Hearts
For two couples the future unfolds in different decades and different places, but a hidden connection will bring them together in a way no one could have predicted. Based on an inspirational true story, 2 Hearts is a romantic journey that celebrates life, love and generosity of spirit, and challenges audiences to believe miracles are possible.
Charismatic young Australian actor Jacob Elordi (“Euphoria,” “The Kissing Booth”) plays Chris, a college freshman whose love for a spirited classmate played by Tiera Skovbye (“Riverdale,” “Once Upon a Time”) helps him find the purpose he has been searching for. In another place and time, Adan Canto (“Designated Survivor,” “Narcos”) plays Cuban exile Jorge, who falls for well-traveled flight attendant Leslie, played by Radha Mitchell (“Man on Fire,” “The Shack”). Though they were never meant to meet, fate has something entirely unexpected in store for both couples that dramatically changes the course of their lives.

Dune Ventures: 10 Ways to Take Control of Your Finances
Maybe you\’re stuck in a perpetual cycle of debt, or maybe you earn too little to maintain your standard of living, perhaps you\’re trying to save money to buy a home. No matter what your goal is these 13 tips will help you take control of your finances, and hopefully help you reach the goal that you desire.
1. Read books about personal finance
One tip that I learned when I was very young from a very wealthy man, was read books about finance. You can learn how to build an investment portfolio, how to manage money, and more. The internet is great, but books are better.
2. Start budgeting
The easiest way to change your finances is to budget. If you don\’t have a budget, then you are probably spending money where you shouldn\’t be spending money. Create a plan for how you want to spend your money each month. Begin by writing down your income and all your expenses, subtract the expenses from the income to determine spending. If you spend more than you made, you need to fix your budget by cutting out unnecessary expenses.
3. Cancel cable
Canceling cable is a great way to save a substantial amount of money each month. There are plenty of streaming options and if you share them with friends you can save money there as well.
4. Stop eating out
Challenge yourself to not eat out for a month and see how much money you have. I was eating out a couple times a week with friends, and then Covid-19 hit, and I stopped. The amount of money I was able to save was insane. If you\’re in the office bring a bagged lunch to work with you instead of eating out.
Pro Tip: Splurge occasionally at a nice restaurant.
5. Pay with cash
Stop using your credit cards and pay with cash only. This will help you make sure that you\’re staying on budget and not going over.
6. Grocery shop on your own
Make a list of the meals you\’re going to make and go to the store with cash to buy them. Using a delivery service will cost you extra money, and remember we are trying to save money here.
7. Start an emergency fund
You never know when you\’re going to need a little extra cash for something. Always make sure you have an emergency fund of at least 1000 dollars.
8. Pay off your debt
Work on getting your debt paid off as quickly as possible. List your current debts, credit card, student loan, car loan…etc. Paying the minimum amount will not get you out of debt you need to go over that amount in order to make a dent in your debt.
9. Create a financial plan
You have a budget, but now you need a plan for the future. If you don\’t feel like this is something you can figure out on your own companies like Dune Ventures can help you figure out what steps you need to take.
10. Seek additional sources of income
If you\’re not making enough money, maybe it is time for you to look for new opportunities that will help you generate more income. If you\’re sticking to the budget, not spending money on things you don\’t need and you\’re still having issues making ends meet, maybe it\’s time to look for a higher-paying job or getting a second job.
The 5 Best Michigan Summer Adventures
Michigan is an active and outdoor state, although I feel like people sometimes forget that. Michigan is home to three major things that a lot of states do not have: water, forests, and outdoor sports. With so much to do, you may be thinking that activities will break the bank, and that is definitely not the case.
Looking to get out on the water? Michigan is a giant peninsula. Whether it\’s a river, lake, or one of the Great Lakes, no matter where you are in the state you are never more than six miles from a body of water. Did I mention, no matter where you are in the state you are never more than 85 miles from one of the Great Lakes?
Are you more of the adventure time that likes to be where the wifi is weak? Then Michigan\’s forests will be perfect for you. With over 53 percent of Michigan is covered in forests you\’re sure to find endless trails, camping, biking, and adventures.
Maybe you\’re more of the outdoor enthusiast if that\’s the case Michigan is still the place for you! When it comes to outdoor sports in the summertime, Michigan is your place to be. From kayaking and mountain biking to jet skis and off-roading you\’re sure to find the perfect adventure.
The 5 best Michigan summer activities
1. Climb Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes
Located in Empire, Michigan, Sleeping Bear Dunes not only offer an amazing workout but a gorgeous view as well. Sleeping Bear Dunes was even voted \’Most Beautiful Place in America\’ and for good reason. The climb is something anyone can achieve you just have to try. From the top of the dunes, you will see beautiful landscapes and the waves of Lake Michigan welcoming you. The best part of climbing the dunes, running or rolling back down them. You just can\’t be afraid to get a little sand in your pants, I mean it\’ll come out…eventually.
2. Kayak out to Turnip RockLocated at the tip of the thumb you will find Port Austin, Michigan. Port Austin is home to one of Michigan\’s greatest wonders, Turnip Rock. The shallow waters surround Turnip Rock make it only accessible by kayak. The trip consists of a 7 mile out-and-back trip via the Point aux Barques trail located on Lake Huron. Since the water is shallow you\’re able to leave your kayak and get up close and personal with Turnip Rock for some amazing pictures.
3. Bike around Mackinac Island
Take a ferry boat over to Mackinac Island and rent a bike when you arrive. The M-185 Perimeter Tour is an 8-mile state highway that loops around Macinac Island\’s shoreline. The best part, it\’ll only be bikers, walkers and the occasional horse-drawn buggy since cars are not allowed on the Island. From start to finish you will find yourself on a flat and smooth asphalt road that places you between the forest and the shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron offering gorgeous views along the way. If you ride a leisurely pace it will take you about 1.5 hours, this includes a little bit of time for photo opportunities, which I highly recommend that you take.
4. Kayak the Pictured Rocks
If you\’re looking for a picture-perfect Michigan adventure, the Pictured Rocks are your place to be. Lake Superior has some of the clearest waters and is my favorite Great Lake to go and visit. Tucked away in Michigan\’s Upper Peninsula Lake Superior offers plenty of hidden gems, like Pictured Rocks. One of the best ways to explore pictured rocks is by heading up to Munising. You can either go on a guided boat tour or rent a kayak to explore Lake Superior\’s Pictured Rocks National Shoreline. Discover the magnificent arches and rock formations and you get up close and personal with Bridalveil Falls, Kissing Rock, Lovers Leap Arch, Caves of the Bloody Chiefs, Indian Head, Battleship Row, Chapel Rock and the sea caves of Pictured Rocks.
5. Visit Black Rocks
Located in Marquette, Michigan and tucked away in Presque Isle Park, you will find what is known by the locals as \”Black Rocks\” these cliffs range anywhere from 20-35 feet high. Black Rocks are best known for cliff jumping, where you plunge into the freezing depths of Lake Superior. Once you take the plunge into the waters of Lake Superior the only way to get back up to the rocks is to either free climb the cliffs from the water or to swim to a nearby beach. You don\’t need to jump off of Black Rocks to get the most out of the area, just wander around and take in all the natural beauty.
Five Things
Quarantine week 13 is complete. Today marks day 91 of quarantine/self-isolation. Restaurants were allowed to open here this past Monday at 50 percent capacity, and stores were allowed to open as well. Next week hair salons can open back up. To be honest, I am just not ready to eat in a restaurant yet or go to the salon. I am not sure when I will be ready to travel, but I am trying to get back into things. Have you gone to restaurants, stores, or on any trips?
This week the weather was hot and disgusting, so Jack and I spent a lot of time inside. I have been avoiding the trails because the ticks are so bad, and I am not about to mess around with that. Here is a look at some of my favorite things from this week.
