Breakfast. Froth. Pumpkin coconut oats. Lunch. Whole wheat pita with faux “tuna” salad and roasted red pepper hummus. This is a new brand of pitas and I couldn’t be more in love. The fluffier, the better. Snacks. Three Sisters Cinnamon Sweets. Enjoy Life Boom Choco Boom bar. Do you really not know what this is? I totally Top Chef marathon-ed it for most of the day. With many chocolate breaks. How a hippie eats a Reese’s vegan fudge peanut butter cup. *Note: you may want tea for between bites because this is one rich dessert…. Read more >

After Saturday’s nightcap, Kyle and I found ourselves sucked into an A&E marathon. Has anyone else ever seen The First 48? Because we had finished our Netflix-ed Dexter DVDs the previous night (and didn’t want to pay $11.99 for the Hyatt’s On-Demand films) our TV options were limited. Turns out The First 48 is a really good show…so good in fact, that we’ve now seen the entire first season. 😉 Anyway, Sunday started the same as Saturday (plus football). Coffee, pool lounging, gym time, and eventually lunch. We couldn’t help ourselves…and so we headed back… Read more >

One of the things Kyle and I were most looking forward to on our honeymoon was getting pampered. Couples massages? Holler. So we decided to treat ourselves to an hour long rub down at the Anara Spa. It was heavenly. Not that I had much stress to relieve, but it was gone at the end regardless. Then we got coffee and broke the fast. What’s Malasada you ask? Basically Hawaiian donut holes. The pampering continued when we set up shop in our private beach front cabana. Just for us…all day long… With this view. The… Read more >

Our fourth day of honeymoonin’ started like the rest… Beachy keen. But after soaking up some rays and a few cups of coffee, we headed to the tennis courts for a complimentary hour of professional play horse play. You see, at this point we were deeply immersed in the US Open…funny how you can get so inspired by seasonal sports. Sadly, Kim Clijsters’ brilliance doesn’t automatically translate to skill. At least we were evenly amateur (the first set took up the entire hour because we kept going into tiebreak). Anyways, we returned to the hotel,… Read more >

After a fun weekend+ getaway in Chico, I am back in L’town for a hot second, before heading off to Monterey and then Santa Barbara. Can you believe we have already put over 1,000 miles on our new car! Summer break 2010 continues… But I’m getting a bit ahead of myself. We didn’t actually head to Chico ‘til Sunday because the Saturday before was a friend’s birthday. Since our schedules are more wide-open than Lindsay Lohan’s, we stayed in the Bay Area an extra day to help him celebrate (by which I mean drink heavily… Read more >
