I travelled to Portland in January and I sorted thru my pictures recently to work on my travel album. I realize I didn’t want to print every picture I took, or the album would come out too thick once finished. Then I got to thinking, I could post a ton of pictures on the blog […]
I’ve never once considered making my own bread, that is until I started dating my hubby and he made me a home made bread. He used a bread machine to make the dough and I watched how easy it was to make delicious bread at home. Ever since then, we’ve made many breads at […]
I am in love with all the spring season colors that are popping up right now. This time last year, I was in survival mode taking care of a newborn that was only a few weeks old. This year, I can appreciate my surroundings so much more. It’s amazing how better sleep and consistently working […]
I’m surrounded with so many signs of springs. New flowers and pretty blooms, burst of yellow colors everywhere like these lemons I purchased at Costco. I wish we had a lemon tree, but since we don’t, I’ll be happy purchasing them at the farmers market or Costco. Any recommendations for lemon recipes? I think I’m […]

I’m back to my regular schedule and routine at home. It took 2 days to feel like myself again and get my energy back. But I’m up and running and excited to get ready for the next trip. I received some emails regarding Dreams Resort & Spa Puerto Vallarta, so here are my thoughts. Why […]
I’ve got seven weeks of wearing my wardrobe capsule and it’s clear which items are my favorite and will be carried over to the next capsule. I find myself gravitating towards wearing more dresses because they are so quick and easy to wear but I didn’t include a lot in this capsule, the 4-5 that […]
I told myself that this year I will take more pictures and to use my big DSLR camera more often. Since it’s digital, I can take as much as I want and can delete them if I want to. So I clicked away and on Sunday night, I found 200+ new pictures on my camera, […]
This week, I attended a free seminar at my local health food store. The seminar featured professional triathlete, plant-based nutrition expert, and bestselling author, Brendan Brazier. He shared how to thrive on a whole foods, plant-based diet. I sat right in front of him and noticed the shoes right away. We are matching in red […]
It was raining all night last night and all day today. It was really cozy inside the house and the perfect day for baking 🙂 I was planning to eat breakfast burrito today but since I woke up with rain outside, I did a switcheroo and ate my usual breakfast lately, protein oatmeal with melted peanut […]

Even though a little delayed, I landed safely in San Francisco. I took the BART from the airport to Embarcadero where my friend Charlene was waiting for me. I think using the BART is the easiest way to get to the city. It was a hot day today and I was sweating walking a few blocks […]
