Rumor has it that 'Murica is reopening and some travel destinations are preparing to welcome you back! ๐ง What kind of post-covid traveler will you be as we head into summer? ๐ #adโฃ

I'm floating between being B and C.... with a little bit of A sprinkled in on days where cabin fever is especially bad. I definitely feel a domestic road trip coming on for the summer, with socially-distanced activities on the itinerary. ๐บโฃ
โฃ
Which means, I'm kick-starting my summer skin routine for said trip. My summer will NOT be ruined - by quarantine or by strawberry legs! ๐ Skies out, thighs out (razor bump free!), thanks to this post-shave serum from @tendskin.usa. ๐๐ฝ Domestic trips, sunkissed skin, and gatherings of 10 or less are my vibes all summer! What about you?

A personality pic to celebrate because I can FINALLY say after months of work, my social media resource library has LAUNCHED! ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ After getting my B.S. in Marketing, my MA in Public Relations, and launching The Marissa Daily - I've learned SO much in the realm of blogging, influencing, and entrepreneurship! ๐ฉ๐ฝโ๐ปโฃ

So many of you have reached out asking for tips and pointers to get started, so I've launched a library of resources! ๐ For now, you can find a few things - from free Instagram highlight covers to a free content calendar for planning social posts. ๐ Over time, I intend to grow this baby MASSIVELY! โฃ

If the garden of Eden was in DC, this would be it. Weeping willows, beautiful ponds, National Monument views, and blankets of lush green grass encompass acres of tranquility. ๐ฟ๐บ This overlooked beauty is the PERFECT place to explore.โฃ

Old Town Alexandria's Waterfront Park is a charming escape on the Potomac River with swings, grassy areas, bomb places to grab takeout, and little art installations. ๐ผ Last weekend, I spent some time here alone and it was the most at-peace I felt in a long time! โฃ

While the fish market at the Wharf is still intense security measures, the boardwalk is relatively empty and open for walking! ๐ถโโ๏ธ Grab some wine or takeout from one of the waterfront restaurants, swing on the wooden swings, or just sit by the water and enjoy the peace & quiet. ๐โโ๏ธโฃ
โฃ
As always, be sure to follow social distancing measures! Have you been to any of these places? ๐

Who said summer vibes have to end with quarantine? My favorite activity these days? Socially distanced picnics! Grab your favorite food from a locally-owned restaurant, or chef it up the night before! ๐ฅ Don't forget the chocolate covered strawberries and wine. Here are 4 outdoor spaces to have the best picnic in the DMV. (Save!)โฃโฃ

By far my FAVORITE on the list, Gravelly Point is located right outside of DC - next to Ronald Reagan National Airport in Arlington, VA. If you're looking to watch the planes fly and imagine you're on them, this is the place to go! โฃโฃ

My heart melts at the sunsets on the Waterfront in Georgetown. I LOVE sitting along the boardwalk and staring off into an endless sky of liquid gold. If you told me I could find a tropical sunset in DC, I'd say you're lying. But, nevertheless - here it is. Hot tip: one of the local restaurants sells cocktails on the pier. โฃโฃ

An oldie, but a goodie. The monument lawn is the perfect spot to overlook the city. I love also that it has easy access to other landmarks to stroll off all that food! โฃโฃ

Nestled behind endless construction, is the beautiful Yards Park in South East DC along the Anacostia River. Stroll through the bridge, mosey through its endless green spaces, and enjoy people watching in this hidden gem. โฃโฃ

Where will you go first? If you made it to the end, drop me a sunshine emoji! โ๏ธ

I'm Marissa - a Northern Virginia girl who just finished her Master's Degree in Public Relations and Communication this week (AYYYYY!). ๐ฅณ The other day, I realized I've been in school for 18 years - and I'm officially done! PHEW!โฃ
โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โฃ
I just so happen to LOVE travel so much that I spend hours scraping up travel deals and secrets and giving them to you on my blog, The Marissa Daily! ๐ฉ๐ฝโ๐ปโฃ
โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โฃ
When I did a poll asking WHY you may not be traveling, money was chosen at an alarming rate. ๐ฅบ I'm here to dispel the travel #myth that it always has to be unrealistic or expensive. I love growing myself through experiencing other cultures, and it makes me sad to see that others aren't afforded the same privilege. So, my travel blog was born and we stay hustling for deals around here (cue cha-ching sound effect) ๐ค๐คโฃ

I'm a Sagittarius baby who's equally as organized as she is disorganized, hates sitting at home (imagine how I've been dealing with this pandemic), and enjoys inspiring and helping others when I can. ๐โฃ
