Descanso Gardens with the Girls
We planned a last minute girls day to the Descanso Gardens on Saturday. I had not been since probably 6th grade and was glad to see all the pretty flowers and greenery, especially after all the rain! SO happy to have had a girls day with these ladies taking photos and creating some good memories. Enjoy the photos. xo

Pre-Birthday Celebrations
As I am typing this I am now 19 years old!! How weird is that?! My last year of being a teenager, which is so weird to think about, but so very thankful for this life of mine ❤️. Since my birthday is on a Sunday this year, I decided to celebrate the whole weekend because birthday weekends are fun. I’ve been wanting to go to a farmers market, but it seemed like all the good ones were on a Sunday. I ended up finding the Burbank Farmer’s Market on Yelp and asked my friend Bryana if she wanted to join me. She said she was free, so we planned…

Mazatlan // Mexican Riviera Cruise
Mazatlan was originally not a part of our trip, but since there was a storm coming to Cabo we had to leave. We planned to be docked there for two days, but plans changed. I am glad I got to experience another city in Mexico since we were already there. Mazatlan had some serious security. The police officers were on the back of trucks holding their guns and looking around… not intimidating at all… BUT we did have a fun time at the beach which I ended up swimming in! We got to also walk around downtown and shop for a bit. My dad ended up buying a really cool…

Cabo San Lucas // Mexican Riviera Cruise
This was our first port of call for our 7-day Mexican Riviera cruise! I have been to Mexico before, but only to Ensenada, so when we got to Cabo I was so excited to be there! On this day we took an excursion to the arch, downtown, and then Medano Beach. This was taken from our cruise ship, the Carnival Splendor! Played some music on the boat as we were watching the waves at Lover’s Beach and Divorce Beach. I’ve never seen the ocean this blue! It was absolutely beautiful! One of the things on my “bucket list” was to get a henna at some point, and I did on…

Malibu Adventures
In 2016, Alix, Sarah, and I went to Malibu Pier and adventured in that area during Spring Break. This year, I wanted to keep the tradition and asked Alix if she wanted to go to the beach and she said “YES”. I wanted to go to a couple places because it’s fun to find new places. Yelp is what I use to find new places, if anyone was curious. I have seen people go to SunLife before and was very interested in trying it out! It was our first stop of the day. I ordered the Brazilian Bowl, and it was delicious! I did not know this, but outside the…

Birthday Bonanza
Hello friends! A few weeks back it was my 17th birthday and my family and I celebrated. I love adventuring and we definitely did exactly that. The first adventure of the day was buying macarons. It was a treat because I usually make my own, but this time I got to choose already made ones with a variety of flavors. Our second thing on the to-do list was lunch at a Japanese BBQ place in the mall. I wanted to go to a place like that and I’m so grateful I did! (FYI if you didn’t know already Japanese/Korean BBQ is when you cook the meat yourself on a grill that is…

My First Baseball Game Ever!
Last Wednesday I went to the Dodger Stadium and watched the LA Dodgers play against the Arizona Diamondbacks. I had never been to the Dodger Stadium before and was shocked at how big it was! I never realized that part of it was open (you can clearly see the baseball field from the parking lot). I’m such a newbie at baseball and am not a sporty person so that could explain why I don’t really understand it much. Even though most of the time I didn’t understand what was going on I still had a great time! Major league baseball games keep the crowd entertained and that was my favorite part. There was…

Pasadena & Urth Caffe
Last week (Labor Day) my family and I went to Pasadena to put another check on my bucket list. We went to the outdoor mall there and ate dinner. I got fish and chips and it was pretty good! Afterwards my siblings got ice cream from Cold Stone but I opted out because we planned on going to Urth Caffe and I wanted to save my appetite. I love the details and vibe of this place. The color of the mosaics and the scenery are just so beautiful. It’s a casual place, but also fun to study or have a meeting as well. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Urth is such a lively…

Alfred Tea Room
This summer I made a “Summer Bucket List” because it was my last summer going into high school and I wanted to make it special. I will probably have another post specifically on it. My top thing was Alfred Tea Room in Hollywood. When I got the chance to go there yesterday I became so excited! It is so beautiful (from what I saw on Instagram) and when I actually got there it did not disappoint! I prefer tea much more than coffee and I love the color pink, so this place just screams my name! You can take a picture from any angle and this place will still look…

The Grove // Summer 2016
I went with Sarah to The Grove and we had a great time listening to songs on the way there and shopping. On the way there we got stuck in traffic because there was a fire near the freeway. As we were passing the fire + the firefighters Sarah waved at them and then said “I love firefighters”. It was a funny moment that I caught on snapchat! 😂 When we actually got there we went to Barnes & Noble and Sarah got some books. We were planning on buying flowers at their Farmer’s Market, but we didn’t find them (we also didn’t hunt for them so they could have…
