Adventure Woman Loves the Scottsdale Horse Show!

Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show

February 16 – 26, 2012

The Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show is one of the most regal events in Arizona (or in the USA for that matter). This premiere horse show dates back to 1955, when it first began at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel. Over the years the show has grown from 50 horses to over 2000, and has acquired a legendary reputation for attracting the crème de la crème in the Arab horse world. Today the Arabian Horse Show is held at Westworld in Scottsdale and attracts trainers, breeders, and the owners from all 50 states and over a dozen countries.

The horse show is well-worth the visit - the only other Arab horse show this grand is in Dubai. If you're in the area, make the effort to visit one of the most spectacular events in the Southwest. For more information visit AdventureWoman.com

Good Bye to the Holidays and 2011

Austin, Texas proved to be a wonderful place to spend the holidays. There is so much good cheer, great shopping delicious restaurants and cozy cafes that its hard to spend a minutes bored or unhappy. Christmas Eve was spent at the wonderful Barton Creek Resort (what a fantastic Christmas shop) and Christmas Day Brunch at the Four Seasons. Everything was spectacularly beautiful (except the guy who wore old jeans and a scrappy tee-shirt saying, 'I am a Pick-up Artist.' You have to wonder why - oh why - someone would wear such a get-up to Christmas Brunch. Ugh!) I mean show a little respect... really.

Well, it is sad to see 2011 go. It was an eventful and exciting year and it appears 2012 only has more fabuluosity and adventurousity in store for all of us. Buckle your seat-belts!!

So let be thankful for our 2011 blessings and a big cheers to 2012!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Wishing everyone a very Happy Holiday and a very Merry Christmas! May your holiday be filled with love, adventure and God's Blessing.

Love from,

Beth and the Adventure Woman Basecamp Family

I Love You So Much Austin!

Austin, Texas is Fantabulous!

Looking for a fun and exciting spot to visit? Check out Austin, Texas. The city is young and hip. The musicians are everywhere and you'll fall in love with the live music. Joe's Coffee is a great place to hang with friends and grab a cuppa Joe while listening to the local groups jam (see, the photo of the Love You So Much wall at Joe's Coffee).

The vintage boutiques are wonderful and a fun place to search for your next great unusual piece of clothing or furniture. And of course, the other specialty boutiques are 'to die for.'

The restaurants are fantastic and you can spend an entire week just eating your way through Austin. The BBQ, the wings, the unexpected, yet delicious, breakfast joints are all worth the extra pounds. And check out the Whole Foods (the headquarters is in Austin). This grocery store is amazing. Check out the goats cheese with jalapeno basil spread. Un-f@%*ing -believable!

Adventure Woman Loves Antioch University Los Angeles

If you wanna be a writer and you're looking for a fantastic MFA Program in Creative Writing you should check out Antioch University in Los Angeles. This low residency program is consistently ranked one of the top in the Unites States and for good reason. The instructors are excellent, the guest speakers/writers are inspiring and the structure of the program is flexible, yet intensive. The atmosphere really fosters comradeship and mutual support among students. There are several genres to choose from (fiction, young adult fiction, poetry and nonfiction) or you can have a dual or mixed concentration. This is the real deal and a writer's haven. If you have a novel or nonfiction book waiting to come out - this is the place to go.
