For the past few weeks, I have been smelling gorgeous flowers in bloom all around, taking peaceful strolls at 6, 7pm, while watching the sunset, and taking in a lot of sun as I wear T-shirts and my favorite maxi skirts. This can only mean […]
Before I met Michael, I admit: I didn’t go to the movies much. I find myself often anxious at the theatre, and much prefer kicking back in my own home, on my comfy couch and enjoying a glass of wine or a drink, with some […]
I know what you may possibly be thinking…Valentine’s Day?! The greeting card holiday?! Or, I am single! I can’t do this stuff! While, maybe, hopefully, some of you are eager to read about some Valentine’s Day ideas and my pretty sweet giveaway I have for […]
I think it is safe to say I love me a great Sunday fun day brunch. There’s nothing like knowing you can enjoy that extra hour (or two) of sleeping in and lounging, then still be able to catch a great late breakfast or early […]
During my time living in the Santa Ynez Valley, I always loved any chance I got to head to Cambria. Cambria is 30 miles north of San Luis Obispo, and 230 miles south from San Francisco. A humble, small town, Cambria is known for their […]

Having loved The San Francisco Bay Area since I was very young, this past month was a real treat for me as I headed out on The Fresh As it Gets Media tour with my fellow IFWTWA members and our hosts from The San Mateo/Silicon […]
