I do a lot of thinking in my car during my commute to work. I thought one day that I need to intentionally seek out adventures. I need to plan ahead, need to plan fun trips and need to take some time off. I am ready to take on new adventures. Actually, I’ve been […]
This past weekend, we headed to the beautiful Kern River area and set up tent at a campsite right next to the water. We went water rafting. We got thrown off our raft after we hit a rock and went down this rapid on my back. Ouch! It wouldn’t be camping without making any smores. […]
One of the main reasons that I started this blog was to have an online journal that I can look back years from now and be reminded of the things I did, foods I ate and places I went. I’ve always enjoyed reading other blog posts that were similar to a journal entry. I enjoy […]
Anytime there is a window of time that we can travel, we jump on the opportunity to do it. Three day holiday weekend coming up? Why not go on a road trip. We headed away from Orange County and drove north along the Pacific Coast highway. First stop on the road trip is the Danish […]

While my friend Cher ran her Disneyland Half Marathon race, she inspired me to do my own workout at the gym. I spent 45 minutes on the elliptical and all I can think of was her having so much fun at the race with Mickey and friends. I think I have the racing itch again. […]

Last night, my sister and I got dolled up We attended a really fun event. The People’s Choice Awards!!! We screamed and yelled and clapped…and almost lost my voice by the end of the night. I was star struck many many many times…. I almost didn’t recognize someone. P.S. I sported my new dark […]
Weeknight dinners has to be quick and easy. Because my commute from work gets me home around 7pm, my dinner is either pre-made and portioned on prep Sundays…or some nights, I get to cook a quick and easy dinner. I have been craving Mexican food lately so I wanted to make Mexican Pizza or Enchiladas. […]
We are 7 days from Halloween and we still haven’t decided on our costumes. Me personally, I own three costumes and will start recycling them this year. We have a high employee turnover at my work that I figured, if I wear a costume I’ve worn 3 years ago, nobody is around to remember […]
POM Wonderful sent me a box of pomegranates. It’s pomegranate season and I have been enjoying making different recipes that incorporate pomegranates. The holiday season is here and I welcomed it with open arms with this festive loaf. This bread is definitely different with nutty taste of pistachios, the unique tartness of the pomegranate and […]
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch (5 out of 5 stars!!) I loved this book and finished it in four days. I just could not stop reading. This is easily one of my favorite books this year. I didn’t know anything about this book until it popped up on my Instagram feed, read the quick […]
