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 >

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 >

Before leaving Newport Beach to head up to the Bay Area, Kyle and I made a detour and headed down to San Clemente. Some of Kyle’s fam live in the area so we spent a day with them relaxing at the beach. For dinner, we tried a Hawaiian inspired restaurant called Happa J’s. It was really nice and spacious with several rooms (the lounge, the main dining area, and the bar) surrounded by windows with a cool surf ambiance. They brought us edamame to snack on while we browsed the menu. I decided on the… Read more >

Hello from Cabo San Lucas! Last time I was here was January of last year and it was so fun I have no idea why I haven’t returned sooner…oh wait…there was that little job thing… Now, I feel like I’m on summer vacation. Even though living out of a suitcase can get old, I’m very aware of how lucky I am to be able to spend time off (post-move/pre-wedding) relaxing, visiting with friends, family, etc. Prior to heading to the airport on Thursday morning, Kyle and I made a few essential stops. 1. Starbucks [non-pictured… Read more >

There are several areas on the Westside that I adore, one of which is Montana Ave. Since our friends live nearby, they took us to Pradeep’s. I love Indian food! (Side note: I just discovered that this place has nutritional information available online if you’re into that…for some reason that seems a bit bizarre for an Indian restaurant in my opinion…not sure why, but whatever). We started with the “famous samosas” which were filled with vegetables, mint and tamarind chutney, and then fried to crispy perfection. Yum. Not heavy or greasy at all. Simply delicious…. Read more >
