Finale in LA

We made it to LA around lunchtime on Friday and already had plans to meet up with a friend. When we drove up to our hotel, Mr. C, I was a bit apprehensive. One, because the name of the hotel makes it sound like it’s a carnival funhouse, and two, if I’m totally honest, we [...]

Sun and Sand in Palm Springs

We were out in the desert from late Tuesday afternoon through Friday morning, and our timing couldn’t have been better. Palm Springs was in the midst of a freak fall heat wave, which meant temps in the high 90s and lots of sunshine. Since Joe and I had planned on doing nothing but hanging out [...]

Sun and Sea in Santa Barbara

We arrived in Santa Barbara on Sunday afternoon, and the weather was BEAUTIFUL. 80 degrees, not a cloud in the sky. Our hotel was a quick walk to State Street, so we camped out at a sports bar for a while, eating snacks and drinking beers. Sports bar, you say? Yeah, yeah, I know. But [...]

Road Tripping!

{via SF Girl by Bay} I love a good road trip. And it’s been a long time since I’ve done a proper one. Sure, there’s been the odd drive to Los Angeles here and there, but the last time Joe and I hit the road in search of adventure was probably our sophomore year of [...]

Eat, Learn, Move

Have you seen this awesome trio of travel videos circulating the Internet? Commissioned by STA Travel Australia, the films are described as “3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage… all to turn 3 ambitious linear concepts based on movement, learning [...]

From the $10 Kodak

Looking at photos from the disposable cameras we took to Cabo was like taking a trip back to 1998. I love my DSLR, but there’s something to be said for the fun of using a disposable camera then eagerly awaiting what you get back. In the digital age, these photos have such a distinct vintage [...]

Strange Invisible Perfumes

Of all the places I was excited to see on this most recent trip to LA, Strange Invisible Perfumes was at the top of the list. I first learned about SIP when they first debuted on Taigan several months ago, and ever since, have been intrigued by the idea of all-natural, non-synthetic perfume. Also, with [...]

A Day on Abbot Kinney

It’s kind of embarrassing to admit, but in the four years I lived in LA for school, I never once made it down to Venice. Well, except if you count that one time I drove through really quickly, but didn’t have time to get out of the car and poke around (which I definitely don’t). [...]
