Last year, a couple of friends and I took a late summer trip to Temecula wine country. We decided to go again this year and maybe annually. Our first stop was Miramonte Winery for their VIP tour and tasting, which we bought off Groupon. Afterwards, we went to our favorite Peltzer Winery for a tasting. They had $15 (instead of $20) tastings for teachers. We … Continue reading Sunday Bests: Wine & Whiny
Santa Monica – I intended to join the SoCal Stair Climbers but hit traffic. I ended up walking around anyways, stopping at Stout for a beer and shared fries. Mani/pedi and some Olipop – I had Friday off so I got some things taken care of. Our local Red Rock Canyon – In the evening, I took a quick hike. It got dark fast! Joanna … Continue reading Sunday Bests: Summer Days
I don’t go to a lot of weddings or baby showers, but when they come, they all come at once! Two of my closer friends are sporting baby bumps and they’re gorgeous! They served mimosas at the second baby shower, but I wanted “double crisp” fries from SOCIAL and since it was happy hour, got a paloma as well… followed by visiting a new brewery, … Continue reading Sunday Bests: Baby Showers
I’m home… for 12 days before heading off on my next adventure. Keep up on Instagram. 🙂 Bachelorette Monday at Native Son, with wine and pasta *We also went to amateur open mic comedy night at Chapter One (6pm-1am in their back room). Happy hour with Elle and friends at El Mercado – I got their happy hour chicken quesadilla and shared shrimp tacos ON … Continue reading Week in the Life: June 2019
This was a good week and weekend, despite it being busy. I was able to manage it all, taking on extra tasks without feeling overwhelmed. I made a list of all the things I accomplished daily to show how awesome I am and to feel grateful. Often, I feel like I don’t do enough, but I couldn’t be more wrong! Weekday Hike: Santiago Oaks I … Continue reading Sunday Bests: Perfect Spring Weather
Last week was busy and it left me depleted. I was completely exhausted at the beginning of the week – on Tuesday, I came home and immediately laid in bed, showered, and got back in bed. I felt similarly exhausted on Wednesday. I was hungry so I treated myself to comfort food (‘healthy’ orange chicken). I had a bit more energy so I took an … Continue reading Sunday Bests: Rest, Rejuvenate, Rally
This was an ultra-busy but fun week. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve gotten enough sleep, workouts, and work has continued to be good. I’m praying it continues for 3 weeks before I’m on spring break! Truth be told: As I’m writing this, I’m exhausted from being so busy, CBD, daylight savings, and I have a stomachache. Self-Care Tuesday I had a hair appointment, but … Continue reading Sunday Bests: Favorite Time of the Year
Saturday: The GOOD Fest I volunteered for The GOOD Fest pop-up in LA and it was a blast. I love working events – I worked 3 summer in the culinary department at the OC Fair (one of the largest fairs in America) – and in particular, I love health and wellness events! The team was great and my fellow volunteers and I meshed well. Afterwards, … Continue reading Sunday Best: LA & San Diego
This winter break is one of the more uneventful. 2 years ago, when we had 3 weeks off, I went to Tucson, Phoenix, and Sedona. Last year was similar to this one – we went to Las Vegas and San Diego. But after all the craziness thus far, I embraced sleeping 10 hours, staying up late, and sleeping in until 10am or so. To be honest, every year … Continue reading Kicking Off 2019
Holiday lights in Long Beach We made an attempt to see decked out yachts in Long Beach but ended up grabbing a couple of drinks at Parker’s Lighthouse. We met up with more friends for a night out in Long Beach: Riley’s, Saint & Second, and Good Bar, where we did a little dancing with the college kids. Sunday Funday Our friend Delmy showed her … Continue reading Pre-Christmas week with friends
