I haven’t been cooking or baking in the last few weeks, it is just too hot around here and I get sweaty just thinking about me standing in the kitchen. There have been lots of Trader Joe’s salads, sandwiches, fish tacos and anything that can be cooked or re-heated on the toaster oven. I recently […]
Eleanor & Park Synopsis: Two misfits. One extraordinary love. Set over the course of one school year, this is the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds—smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. Wow, I loved, loved this book. This is now in my top […]
Our neighborhood had a block party and we had a fun time getting to know more of our neighbors. It’s hard to interact with our neighbors because we are all out of the house for work and daycare most of the week and on weekends, we do family time together. This was a great way […]
I’m travelling at the end of the week to Northern California with my sisters, San Francisco to be exact. I am inspired to post these travel pictures from 2011, to dust them off from my computer and finally post them on the blog. My youngest sister Hazel hasn’t visited Big Sur yet, but I’m encouraging […]

Since the weather is heating up around here, my workouts has been less intense. Which is fine because I’m more active in other ways like pool time, bike time walking at the farmers market and walking at Disneyland. Since I want to be out as much as possible for the whole summer, including my workouts, […]
I woke up this morning and didn’t really feel like going to the gym. Probably because it was cold outside and the covers where holding me back from getting up. Whenever I have days like these, I do some tricks to get myself motivated to workout. I put the workout clothes in the dryer to […]
What took me so long to post a salad recipe in January? I mean, are we all detoxing from the sugar rush of last year’s holiday season? I know I am. I’m still trying to kick the habit of eating sweets every afternoon, even if it’s a mini-size chocolate treat. I find that if I […]
This week I attended Nasoya’s Tofu University event in L.A. Nasoya gathered local foodies to the event to experience Tofu U and get schooled on tofu recipes. The event was held at the Palihouse, it’s a cute urban luxury hotel and residence in West Hollywood on La Cienega and Holloway. It has modern and unique decor in […]
Thank you so much for the sweet comments on the pregnancy announcement! We are so excited to be on this exciting and happy journey and we can’t wait to meet our little one in March. I have been journaling from the very beginning of the pregnancy. it’s just a matter of transferring what I wrote […]
So it has been 10 days since Halloween and I still have a large Costco size bag of candy in my pantry. I don’t know how to get rid of all that candy, probably have the hubby bring it to his co-workers, but I do know what to do with the leftover candy corns. I […]
It’s so easy to get caught up in our every day routine and stress brought on by our job, school, family and etc. We often take a lot of things for granted. We should realize that a lot of the simple things in life are the ones that brings us the most joy. Lately when […]
I will have the remaining Mammoth trip recap coming up soon. We went to a beautiful lake the second day and also saw a deer. It was my first time seeing a deer and it was amazing. If you missed Part I, check it out here. Thank you for the email suggestions on activities in […]
