Where to See the California Super Bloom
Spring is in full bloom in California (SoCal especially) and I am here for it! I grew up on the East Coast, so I start to miss having actual seasons. With a trip to Oak Glen, CA to see the Fall leaves, my birthday trip to Big Bear, CA (seeing real snow for the first time in eight years!) and now seeing flowers almost everywhere, it feels like I am really getting my seasons back! For those who don’t live in California, we basically get super blooms (an event where wildflowers are found a’plenty) on years that it…
2018 Valentines Day Recap
We are just one day away from Valentines Day!! So exciting! This will be my second Valentines Day with Tom, so in the spirit of the holiday, I thought I’d give you guys a little recap of what we did last year to celebrate. Of course, it was a Wednesday, so just like this year, we only had evening plans (I mean, we do have full time jobs after all, haha). However, that didn’t stop Tom from sending me flowers at work. How sweet!*Address blacked out for my privacySo pretty early on, Tom and I decided…
My Experience Selling on Poshmark
I started selling clothes on Poshmark about a week ago after clearing out a huge portion of my closet and dressers (yes, I am one of those people obsessed with the Netflix show “Tidying Up With Marie Kondo”). All I can think is, “why didn’t I start doing this sooner???” I’ve used several selling apps, such as Letgo, Offerup, and Facebook Marketplace, but I’ve never had the level of success I’ve had with Poshmark. If you aren’t familiar with the app, it’s essentially a selling app primarily targeted towards clothing. Unlike Offerup and Letgo…
I Made My Own Custom Perfume
Over the weekend, I crossed one more thing off the bucket list and made my own custom perfume at KleanSpa in Burbank on Magnolia Blvd. The whole experience exceeded my expectations! At the end of the day, I went home with a perfume I not only loved, but was proud of for creating myself (with the help of the lovely Dallas, of course – more on that later). Of course, creating custom scents for customers isn’t all that Kleanspa does. They’re also a store! They sell shea butters, soap, perfume, jewelry, and more trinkets in the similar vein. The…
Big Bear Weekend Getaway
Over the past weekend, Tom and I went to Big Bear, CA to celebrate my 26th birthday. I had never been! I wanted to go somewhere new for my birthday, within driving distance, and somewhere I could bring my dog. A lot of my friends and coworkers suggested going somewhere warmer, but given that I hadn’t seen real snow in roughly eight years, I decided I wanted to escape to a winter wonderland. I decided on Big Bear, and I am so glad I did! I didn’t remember how much I missed the snow until I was actually…
