I’ve been looking forward to this long weekend ever since the holidays only 3 weeks ago, ha…my friend Julian and I decided to head down to Catalina Island off the coast of LA.

Happy Monday! It’s been RAIN.com over here! Even though this is my second winter in SF, it feels like there is 10x more rain this year.

First week back randomness and new routine

January 7, 2019

Happy first week of 2019! After flying back from New York for the holidays, I jumped right back into “normal life” in SF.

Last days of funemployment + a year of imbalance + excited for stability

December 3, 2018

After returning from my Puerto Vallarta trip, I luckily had a whole week to relax and recharge before starting my new job.
