Our last day in New York! Monday was bittersweet, I suppose. Although, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t more eager to get back to CA. Still, it was weird knowing that this would be our last time in New York for a very very long time. Like every other morning, we made Starbucks coffee in our hotel room before heading out. For some reason I have never seen this African Kitamu blend anywhere else, but I was in love at first sip, and am now determined to get my hands on it. Has… Read more >

Oh hey, I know I said my blogging schedule would be jacked up with this NYC trip, but I guess I lied. Thanks to Virgin’s power outlets I was able to use my computer for longer than 35 minutes (no lie, that’s seriously how long my laptop lasts sans power cord). Anyways, you can thank Richard Branson for this (semi) timely post. Wednesday started with an anxiety ridden soccer game, followed by a fruity celebration. ‘Twas nearly patriotic. Red, white yellow and blue. Sorry Landon Donovan, next game day I’ll get my act together. The… Read more >

Sunday was an absolutely GORGEOUS day in the Bay. I actually took this picture Saturday night when Kyle and I decided to take a stroll down memory lane (through Crissy Field). For new readers, it’s where Kyle proposed to me a year ago. It’s now two months until our wedding and I still feel as giddy as I did the day he popped the question. Anyways, back to Sunday morning… Kyle and I woke up bright and early, said goodbye to the Marina, and headed to the East Bay to spend Father’s Day with my… Read more >

It’s a rough life – enjoying good food, good celebrating, good(ish) soccer and more in Santa Barbara, and the fun just keeps on coming… The day after my sis’ graduation we woke up bright and early to go on a hike. Our friend took us on the Cold Springs Trail in Montecito. The fact that we managed to escape without any poison ivy (I was a tank-top and shorts wearing daredevil idiot) was a semi-miracle. It was a fun, leisurely 1 1/2 hour hike with great views. Afterwards we lunched it up at The Natural… Read more >

After spending time relaxing in Monterey, we packed back up and headed down south…off to Santa Barbara! I was driving so my personal hand model Kyle snapped this picture for me. I thought we could forge ahead without any detours, but we hit some serious traffic so a stop in San Luis Obispo for lunch was very necessary. As good as it is, Strawberry Serenity Kombucha does not a meal make. What is Mondeo? I’m still not quite sure… As far as I could tell the restaurant had meal concepts (for lack of a better… Read more >
