I set out all the things I needed for the race the night before. Fairy tutus. Check. I filled my hydration belt with water. Ipod fully charged. My wake-up call the morning of the race was 4am. We had to be at the starting line and at our corral at 4:30am. I live close […]
Before I start the recap of the race events this past weekend, I just want to say that…I DID IT!! I am proud to say that I am now a two-time half marathon finisher!!! I had a great time running the race. It was even more special because I ran it with friends and […]
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 hope you are having a good weekend. Mine has been fun with all sorts of outdoor activities (my forehead is a little darker that it was last week). It is very windy right now too, the Santa Ana winds are blowing full force. I don’t mind the wind, I’m just glad there are no […]
I know a lot of people say that we don’t really notice the change of seasons here in Southern California. But I disagree. I think that if you pay close enough attention to your surroundings, you can see the change in the seasons. I found a pumpkin patch that our farmer’s market had set-up. You […]
One of the easiest thing for me to make for breakfast is oatmeal. It’s even easier when it’s prepared ahead of time. I try to make a few dishes on Sundays, I call it my Sunday-prep-time, for us to eat throughout the week. Now that the temps are heating up around here, it is best […]
I am a visual person, and I love capturing things, places and people that makes me happy. I love posting my pictures on Instagram, and have completely ditched Facebook for most part. I also love that I can catalogue pictures that are alike by using a hashtag. Sometimes, seeing the whole series of pictures creates […]
I’m inspired by quotes I read and love saving them so I can be reminded of them in the future. Picture below was taken at the flower fields in Carlsbad, a full afternoon just enjoying the flowers…..slowing things down.
One of my favorite snacks in the afternoon is greek yogurt with nuts, fruits or granola. I’m also trying to add different variety of greek yogurt, and using plain yogurt instead of the flavored ones. I find that a little hint of honey goes a long way. Recently, I made a grain free granola. I’m […]
When I first started the blog, I knew very little about designing a blog. I didn’t spend a lot of time fretting about the design because I just wanted to get started. I just wanted a medium where I can talk about the fun stuff that happens in life, a place where I can post […]
I don’t want summer to end yet. I still want to spend time at the beach or have a bonfire…but this week it feels like Fall is coming on too fast. I woke up at 6am and today it was completely dark. Fall is here. I usually wear my running shorts for my morning runs. […]
It has been a ruby filled day. I baked with pomegranates, ate cranberries for breakfast and I am currently wearing a ruby dress, blogging from our ruby themed hotel room. I received the granola from my granola exchange this week. I love it. I love the tartness of the dried cranberries. We have relatives visiting, […]
