This past weekend totally hit the spot. It was the first time it felt like REAL summer over here. We traded chilly SF weather for a day-trip up the hot and sunny Sonoma county, where I organized a fun river-float trip with a few close friends. The Russian River is a popular day-trip from SF … More River floating day-trip on the Russian River
This past weekend was a quarantine first for us: we packed our bags and headed out of San Francisco for the first time since the start of the pandemic for a weekend in Lake Tahoe. Tahoe is one of my favorite, go-to weekend spots in California – I’ve lived in SF for 3 years now … More Refreshing weekend in Lake Tahoe, Nevada
The highlight of the weekend was going to wine country for a girls trip (plus partners) to celebrate the engagements of Kayla and Princess. Princess is always throwing thoughtful events for our girl gang, and so we thought it would be nice to do something for her this time. 🙂 First up, our group met … More Celebrating our brides-to-be in Sonoma
I’m back from a sunny, outdoorsy, active weekend at North Star Ski Resort at Lake Tahoe. Joe and his friends from work got a house for the weekend and I’ve been wanting to ski at least once this season, so this trip was the perfect opportunity to get some refreshing time in the mountains and … More Refreshing ski weekend at North Star, Lake Tahoe + a video!
I’m back after 5 wonderful days of surf and sun in Sayulita, Mexico – a small, hippie town on the west coast of Mexico near Puerto Vallarta. I’ve been to Mexico three times and this was by far my favorite trip of all. For being such a small beach town, there is SO much to … More Surfing and active trip in Sayulita, Mexico
The grand finale of my 2 weeks on the east coast was spending the weekend in NYC to see Christine, Anna and Ben. Between living in NYC for 6 years and Anna/Ben recently moving there, most of my closest friends are living in NYC. With a short weekend trip, I decided to spend most of … More Best friends reunion in NYC
Last weekend was basically pure happiness. Joe and I wanted to do something special together before my 2-week solo trip to Kenya (leaving this Friday!), and so we somewhat spontaneously booked a weekend trip to Mendocino, a small coastal town 4 hours north of SF. We ended up having the most relaxing, refreshing few days … More Cozy, outdoorsy weekend getaway in Mendocino, CA
Earlier this summer, Kim, Sophie, Chloe and I booked a trip to Malibu on a whim during a happy hour – and after weeks of anticipation, the trip was finally here! On that theme of spontaneity, the whole weekend ended up being a relaxing, go-with-the-flow, fun-loving time together that we all needed. As I’m looking … More Girl’s weekend in Malibu
Surprise, surprise, another weekend in Lake Tahoe! This was my 7th time up there in my 1.5 years of living in the Bay. I guess you can say I’m obsessed…Tahoe has become my home away from home. From the big beautiful Tahoe trees to the fresh mountain air, every time I go up, I feel … More Ski weekend in Squaw Valley, Lake Tahoe + reflection and happiness at work
This past weekend was quite the rollercoaster! Between a last minute decision to head up to Tahoe and then getting snowed in an extra day from a huge blizzard, last weekend definitely had its fair share of crazy stories and memories. Friday – last minute drive up to Tahoe The decision to go up to Tahoe … More Spontaneous, snowy, ski weekend in Tahoe
