My flight(s) home were a disaster, but I’m here now! 🙂 I’ve actually been back for a couple of days, but I’m still trying to readjust to the time change. I was sad to leave vacation mode, but if I’m being perfectly honest, I was very ready to return home. I plan on doing more detailed posts (most likely in flashback fashion) about my trip and being vegan while traveling through Spain and France, but for now, I’m going to soak up everything I missed while I was away. Shockingly (or not shockingly, depending on… Read more >

I’m currently in our hotel room in Palo Alto watching Kyle nap. It’s not as creepy as it sounds. We woke up crazy early to get to Stanford for a weekend thing, and since I snoozed for 45 minutes on the way, he is getting his own beauty rest now so we are on level playing fields (sleep-wise). After doing Jillian Michaels’ yoga at 4:30 am I guzzled a Starbucks soy misto on the road. My on-the-go breakfast consisted of an apple and Larabar. Which explains why we were ready to grub when we finally… Read more >

In New York, I was a NYRR member. I ran almost every 10K during the two month period of decent weather (if I wasn’t working), and a few half marathons too. Truthfully, I think I could run Central Park with my eyes closed. Moving to California was a breath of fresh air in the running department. The weather is rarely an obstacle and (as I’ve already shared) the scenery is exceptional. However, I do miss the excitement of races. I’ve been keeping my eye out for local running events, but my schedule is friggin’ packed… Read more >

Happy Friday and Happy April (fools)! My parents are en route to So Cal at the moment, which thrills me to no end. I’m so excited that the weather has finally decided to cooperate when my family is visiting. Almost every other time the hippie clan visits, the rain clouds roll in. No me gusta. On the contrary, me encanta MUCHO these babies. If you’re not looking to brush up on your espanol, allow me to translate: these Mitica Spanish Cocktail nuts (from Whole Foods) are legit. Too legit to quit, in fact. Like… Read more >

The past week has been pretty restaurant heavy. It makes sense since our fridge currently has more condiments than anything else. After returning from Vegas, we stopped at the Culver City location of Tender Greens for some very necessary clean and organic meals. It was pouring rain and we had no umbrellas, so we decided take-away was the best option. After showering and unpacking, I dug into my “Happy Vegan” salad. For optimal photography, I removed the toast and greens that were resting atop the other parts of the salad and put them on a… Read more >
