We hosted Friendsgiving at my house this year, I hope it will become a yearly tradition. We have a few young kiddos now in our circle of friends, so we asked everyone to come early around 4pm so we don’t keep the kids up too late. We had a great time catching up with […]
I recently attended my friend Lora’s surprise Bridal Shower at the beautiful Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant in San Diego. Aren’t purple and silver great colors for fall? These are the wedding colors and they fit perfectly for the fall season. But during the Bridal Shower, we were still having summer weather and was surrounded by […]
We had a lot of weddings in our calendar this year. I was really excited for the summer weddings by the beach. In July, we drove north along the coast to Santa Barbara. This was the first beach wedding we attended since our own beach wedding last year. Lots of great memories flooded our minds […]
My friend Lizelle was in town recently and we got to hangout and meet-up for dinner with the rest of our circle of friends. Even if we haven’t each other for awhile, we always just seem to pick-up where we left off….I haven’t seen her since my bridal shower last year. I’m really grateful for […]
This week marks our first year wedding anniversary. Around this time last year, the husband and I, along with our family and friends, all vacationed to Puerto Vallarta in celebration of our wedding. Our actual wedding anniversary is May 30th, but because we got married last year during Memorial Day weekend, this weekend feels more […]

Wow, it’s already Nov 11, can’t believe it. The first week of every month is always a blur for me, it’s the busiest time at work every month, so the whole week just passes by really quickly. So now it’s the second week and I’m coming up for fresh air and have some time […]
This weekend I was in search for a healthy snack that I could munch on throughout the week. I knew I was going to have a busy week, and I didn’t want to be tempted to always grab the leftover holiday treats & chocolates that are still everywhere at work. I also wanted to use […]
I haven’t done my nails since summer but last week, I wanted to add a little shine and color to my nails. I chose Essie’s Shearling Darling nail polish and I think it’s the perfect holiday plum and hue. Picture taken during a date night with the hubby 🙂
I am so excited for tomorrow. It’s race day. I have been looking forward to this weekend since September. This is not just any race weekend, it’s a DISNEY race weekend. It’s double the fun. We are heading to the race expo today at Downtown Disney. We’re picking up all our official race items (i.e. […]
I have spent the last two weekends traveling. Which means, I did a lot of laundry and packing and unpacking in between trips. It also means, my workout and my healthy food choices have been inconsistent. I try to pack as much healthy snacks with me while I am away from home and make conscious […]
Thank you to California Grown for encouraging me to connect with California growers and encouraging California consumers to “Choose California Grown” when they can. I buy most of our produce from our local farmers market. Ever since I’ve made an effort to buy locally, I’ve gained knowledge of the different seasonal items that are available […]
It’s a proud day for my family. My younger sister is now a licensed Dental Hygienist. I walked in the door to her graduation festivities and was greeted with colorful cupcakes. Free desserts at a graduation? Her school is great. I think that it is ironic they offer sweet offerings during a dental event. I ate […]
Here are some of my healthy eats lately. Obviously I am just showing my healthiest meals here for ideas. I also still eat Mexican food and fried fish tacos, pizza and other not so healthy foods—but I try to limit that to weekends. My breakfast staple is always a bowl of oatmeal or some kind […]
