    January 9, 2020 /

    Image by David Mark from PixabayΒ  If you’re planning a trip to Los Angeles and you don’t know where to start then don’t worry, you have definitely come to the right place. Whether you’re booking a long vacation or heading to Disneyland, it’s important for you to prepare as much as you possibly can. From booking the perfect hotel to finding activities you want to do, the more you’re planning in advance the better.

    Happy Friday! I could use a vacation right about now, but that’s not happening so I’ll settle for a flashback Friday in the form of a photo from my vacation to San Francisco back in August. This is a view from Angel Island. How amazing would it be to live in one of those houses across the water? Okay, that’s about all the pretending I can do since there’s still a day of work to get through before the weekend!

    #fbf San Francisco Hills

    September 27, 2019 /

    When most people think of San Francisco they probably think of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and fog. Sometimes people think about the steep hills in the city and they are seriously steep. It’s hard to capture the steepness in photos. You have to be in just the right spot for it to translate on camera. While I was looking through photos on my phone I came across a photo that I think really shows off the steep streets. The photo I’m sharing today in this #fbf, Flashback Friday, is from the morning I went to Lombard St. aka The Crookedest Street. After taking a ton of photos and waiting…

    San Francisco Eats

    August 10, 2019 /

    Now that I’ve wrapped up my recaps of each of my days on vacation in San Francisco, I’m sharing what I ate on my trip! I didn’t take photos of every single meal because things like breakfast and snacks get repetitive. Below you’ll see the breakdown by day and meal and I’ll link to the restaurant if I can! Tuesday Dinner We arrived in time for dinner on Tuesday and went toΒ Tratto for dinner. It didn’t look too crowded inside and the menu looked good. The hostess said it would be a 3 hour wait without a reservation! But we were able to sit at the high top tables without…

    I have to start this post off with a disclaimer that this is an extremely picture heavy post. I tried to narrow it down, but there were too many good ones! And trust me, I have about 3 times more photos from each day of vacation than what actually makes it on here! On our last full day in San Francisco, we went to 3 tourist stops we didn’t get a chance to get to yet in the city. Oddly enough this was our first day of the trip that we stayed in San Francisco the whole day! When we first arrived it was already late afternoon so I don’t…

    Happy Wednesday! I hope your week’s going well so far. I got back from my trip to California on Monday night, but I’ve still got some travel posts coming your way. Today, we cover my day trip to Monterey, Carmel, and the scenic 17-mile drive. On Saturday morning we went on another day trip tour with Gray Line. This time on a drive down part of the California coast. Years ago when I visited San Francisco, my family and I drove down the coast via the Pacific Coast Highway over the course of 2 days down to LA and Disneyland so we saw a lot more of the coast. On…

    Muir Woods & Sausalito

    August 6, 2019 /

    Friday was a slower paced day with a day trip to Sausalito and Muir Woods. It wasn’t part of a tour, just a day trip on our own so we could go at whatever pace we wanted. Granted, we did have to follow the ferry schedule and make it to our reserved shuttle time from Sausalito to Muir Woods. Before getting on the 10am ferry to Sausalito, we walked around and got breakfast at the Ferry Building. It’s similar to Chelsea Market in New York City (but smaller) with lots of little shops and food places. Mostly artisan. They have one of those old fashioned schedule boards where the letters…

Jessica, a mixed media art student, is spending the summer there with her 3 best friends and roommates, waitressing, and trying to save money to study abroad ✈️ . This coming of age novel was a fun and realistic read about punk rock loving girls with big dreams as they navigate life and love in their early 20s πŸŽΆπŸ’—. I was hooked on the story the whole time and really enjoyed it! My full review is on the blog βœ¨πŸ“š

I loved You Deserve Each Other πŸ’–. It’s going I loved You Deserve Each Other πŸ’–. It’s going to be one of those books that sticks with me for a while πŸ“–. Naomi and Nicholas are engaged, but can barely stand each other these days. Naomi doesn’t think she can go through with the marriage, but she’s broke and thanks to a meddling future mother-in-law whoever breaks off the engagement has to foot the non-refundable bill πŸ’. Naomi comes to realize that all the annoying things Nicholas has been doing lately are to purposely get under her skin. Now it’s game on and the two pull pranks on each other in an attempt to drive the other to be the one to end things. But all this extra time together trying to bring each other down might just bring them closer together πŸ’•. 

This book was so funny that I actually laughed out loud while reading πŸ˜‚. It also had really touching moments and I was rooting for Naomi and Nicholas the whole time. I loved them and overall it was just such a good story! My full review is on the blog βœ¨πŸ“š
