We had planned the trip down to the minute. The Airbnb was cozy Victorian duplex in a fun neighbourhood. The beer tastings, the brunches, the coffee brews had all been planned out. I counted down the minutes until I got to fly to Portland and see my bro with Jacob, our best friend from childhood, and Evan. I was devastated when my Friday flight was … Continue reading PDX: BRO-CATION EDITION
Hello darlings – I’ve received such lovely feedback about my dinners and an interest in future ones, so I’m setting up a couple more dinners before year’s end. I unfortunately had to cancel my last dinner due to a post-vacation sinus infection (gross, I know), so peeps missed out on my Indian food. HAVE NO FEAR! Because I’m basically repeating that menu. An Indian Summer … Continue reading ANNOUNCING NEW POP-UP DINNER DATE – Indian Summer, Oct. 22
I supposed the whole point of the trip was Hvar. It hadn’t been at the forefront at all during our initial planning stages, but after Becky and Veronica’s friend filled us in on the must-sees, must-dos, it was clear it would be the apex of our trip. We hopped on a ferry from Split to Hvar town, which is roughly an hour or so long. … Continue reading Croatia – Hvar
I know that’s a rather salacious title, but would you have clicked on this blog post if I hadn’t used it? Didn’t think so. So minor tangent, I was watching Iliza Shlesinger’s newest Netflix standup show – Confirmed Kills – and died lol’ing by myself in bed last night. Thanks, Cass for the recommendation! She delves into female-only humor – the idiocy of “Je suis mermaid” … Continue reading Pothead
I’ve just gotten back from an absolutely life changing vacation and was immediately struck down by three trials and a sinus infection, tots hot I know. I’m currently healing in bed, which provided a perfect opportunity to edit photos and school you on the best trip ever. I’m starting with Dubrovnik, which big surprise is where we started. It’s gained immense popularity since Game of … Continue reading Croatia – Dubrovnik
Hello my darlings – As you all probably know, I love feeding people. And perhaps more than that, I love hosting the sh*t out of my dinners: creating a comfortable space where my friends can meet new people, trying new things, and then give me all the compliments. And if we’ve talked in the last couple of months, you also probably know that I’m exploring … Continue reading ANNOUNCING NOTES AND NIBBLES, A POP UP DINNER SERIES
I’m recovering from my fourth (or fifth?) Coachella complete with an emergency eye procedure (Captain Jack, anyone?) and green juice for days. But as a seasoned and suntanned (aka not sunburned) veteran of this world-famous music festival, I’ve compiled my pro-tips for your Weekend Two Goers: PACK: Allergy medication, eye drops, and if you’re really on it: nasal spray – The dust storms were … Continue reading Coachella 2016: The Guide
I’ve been ploughing through housekeeping duties, like actually. The apartment is sparkling, my email inbox pared down, and my closet somewhat functional. My social and professional life need a bit more polishing, but I’m staying true to my word to keep things less cluttered. And in the midst of all that simplifying, the weekend was absolutely beautiful. I started with an outdoor happy hour at Jaimie’s … Continue reading The Descanso Gardens
The last week was a bit of an extravaganza and one that I didn’t well document. I’ve been trying to step away from constant phone-mediated life and in the process, totally forgot about this little blog. Last week, I stepped a bit closer to 30, celebrating my 28th birthday at the Broad Museum and Otium with Aline and Evan, followed by The Semi-Tropic‘s churro waffle … Continue reading The Getty Villa
My friends say I have an aversion to LA on the weekends. I don’t know if that is the case, but I certainly love taking off for a couple of days to destinations like SF, Paso, SD and, like in this past weekend, Mammoth. I’ve been to Mammoth 8 or 9 times now and really love it, if not just for seeing Sophie roam like … Continue reading Your Mammoth Weekend
