So a few months ago, I thought about taking Jules to Niagara Falls, because he’s never been. I got a bunch of plans together and then my parents wanted to jump in on the fun. So I thought, why not? We all piled into the car, with MHB (my 87 year old Grandmother) in tow and away we went. Continue reading “On The Road”
Alpaca Fun
Yesterday, I had the privilege of hanging out with some amazing alpacas. I’ve been obsessed with llamas and alpacas for ages, and I finally got to interact with them! Continue reading “Alpaca Fun”
Trying a new lip balm
Normally I am a Burt’s Bees kind of girl. But a little bit ago, I saw an ad for a lip balm in a black skull container. I’m kind of obsessed with black and skulls, so it was a no brainer.
Visiting Basquiat
Yesterday I ventured out to see a solo exhibition of the works of Jean-Michel Basquiat. I will say, I am not a super fan of his work, but overall enjoyed the experience. Continue reading “Visiting Basquiat”
New Glasses. Who Dis?
I’ve had the same glasses for like 5 years, so I thought it was time for a new pair. My prescription hasn’t changed, so I just added a pair to my collection. I chose to try out Warby Parker…
Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving
There is a new Frida Kahlo exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum . As a member, I was able to check it out a day early. If possible, it always helps to be a member at the museums you frequent. 1) early access to cool exhibitions and 2) tickets even when the event has sold out to the public. Right now, the Kahlo exhibit tickets are sold out but members can get them. Continue reading “Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving”
Museum of Ice Cream Miami
So after having a blast at the Museum of Ice Cream San Francisco, I jumped at the chance to visit the newest version, Miami. Tickets were easier to purchase and surprisingly they didn’t sell out very fast. I procured tickets for a weekend in January (I’m behind on posting, I know) and then got on to finding plane tickets. I was in dire need of a mini vacation and recruited a friend to tag along.
Museum of Ice Cream San Francisco
In November, when I went to my aunt’s wedding, I also arranged tickets to visit the Museum of Ice Cream in San Francisco. I missed my chance on the original in New York City. By the time I had heard about it, it was over. Then this year they opened one in Los Angeles. Yet again, I missed my chance because it had sold out by the time the news reached my ears. Fortunately I had an epiphany and I signed up for the newsletter. This enabled me to know when new tickets were being sold AND where the next museum would pop up. So the next time, I would be ready… Continue reading “Museum of Ice Cream San Francisco”
Sea Ranch,CA
During November 2017, we flew back to the West Coast for my aunt’s wedding. She chose beautiful Sea Ranch, CA and it was the perfect locale. We flew into San Francisco and drove a few hours north to get there. The drive was scenic, as it took you north, along the coast. As beautiful as it was, it was a nerve wracking drive. There were many spots on the road with no guardrails and just cliff straight down to the water. It was a very thrilling ride up, and, fortunately we had the sunlight most of the way there.
Orcas Island and So Long Seattle
The ferry to Orcas Island was delightfully simple. We drove our car into the bottom of the boat and made our way to a sitting area. The sun was shining through the window, creating a little heated area in our booth. It was soothing. Continue reading “Orcas Island and So Long Seattle”
