About Samantha
Hello, lovely soul. I’m so glad you’re here!
If you’ve been searching for a quiet corner of the internet to slow down, catch your breath and find inspiration for a more balanced life, you have found your space.
My name is Samantha. I’m a mountain-town entrepreneur, designer and deep believer in the power of holistic self-care. I live in the beautiful, crisp landscape of North Idaho with my husband, daughter and our two incredibly spoiled affectionate cats, though we make frequent trips to see our son and grandbaby.
Let's Begin Your Self-Care Journey.
For a long time, I found myself navigating the fast-paced, high-stress demands of daily life, always looking for that elusive sense of balance. What I eventually discovered is that true wellness isn't a final destination or a perfect state of being; it's a daily, intentional practice of nurturing every single part of ourselves: our minds, our bodies, our spirits and the physical spaces we call home.
Wander and Wellness was born out of that realization.
Designed for Comfort, Made for the Journey.
Beyond the words and resources on this site, my heart is deeply poured into creating tangible comfort for your daily life.
As a designer, I spend hours creating unique designs for apparel, journals and lifestyle essentials through my Shopify store and creating curated Amazon collections. Whether it's a cozy, perfectly lived-in sweatshirt for a crisp morning or coffee cup to start your day right as you watch the sunrise, everything I offer is created to support your daily rituals and bring a little extra warmth to your personal journey.
Thank you for being here!

Fetch Rewards
Fetch Rewards
This app tracks your steps throughout the day which you convert for coins at the end of each day. Those coins build up and can be exchanged for rewards. It takes quite a while which is where patience is important. I currently have over 1,100 coins so I could get a $10 card right now, but I'm aiming for the $50 gift card.

This app is super cool because all you have to do is scan receipts to earn rewards which can later be exchanged for cash cards or a variety of other rewards. It can also connect to your accounts to scan for digital rewards and you can play games to earn even more rewards. I currently have almost 38,000 points!
Mistplay

Rewarded Play
If you enjoy playing games, I highly recommend Mistplay. You open the app, download the games you're interested in and play the games to earn rewards which can be exchanged for a variety of rewards including cash cards. I play Sims Freeplay through this app mainly and have over 15,000 points built up.
Rewarded Play
Fetch Rewards
Rewarded Play
This app is the first rewarded game play app I used and it's actually pretty cool! You can install games through the app. The games aren't always the best, but I have played MeChat, Ava's Manor, June's Journey and Match Factory though it and you can also do anonymous surveys for even more points. I've won seven $5 cards thus far!

I absolutely love this app! You set goals you need to accomplish and you mark them as "done" as you go. You get to choose a location for your pet to explore for the day so each day you learn something new about the location and you earn gems as you complete tasks which are used to buy clothes and house decor for your pet. I love it!

Want to learn how to meditate or simply need some guided meditations? Check out this app. There are a variety of meditations and a variety of workout routines as well, including dance workout routines, yoga, cardio and more. I use this app in the mornings while waking up and in the evenings to unwind before bed.

This app is actually for long-term retirement, but it's NEVER too early to get started. It allows you to set up a goal for when you can access the money (mine is set so I can't access it until 2051), recurring payments allow you to add to your account, you can invest in an account for your kids, create a Will and even add stocks & bonds to your profile.

This game/app is interesting. You "match" with characters similar to dating apps, but each one has a different story that you go through a little at a time. Full Discloser: This app is not for conservative/reserved people due to the sexual content in the conversations/stories, but very compelling stories so you feel like you NEED to know what happens.
