Travel Log // Reykjavik
So far in Iceland... Here are a few of the awesomes and not awesomes:
Local Love // Watts Towers
When I first moved to LA, I had a list of things to see and do. I haven't conquered that initial list, and it's grown longer. One of the first places to visit on my list was the Watts Towers. I road the blue line from downtown and alighted at 103 Street / Kenneth Hahn...
Local Love // Snobar
It's beginning to feel a lot like summer here. After a lovely hike in Topanga Canyon with Barbara, we headed over to Snobar in West Hollywood for some ice cream.
Local Love // Griffith Observatory
Last weekend I took a short hike up to the Griffith Observatory. It's one of my favorite places in the city with a beautiful view (best on a clear day) of Los Angeles. You can check out the tesla coil, enjoy a show in the planetarium, or attend one of the monthly public star...
Quote // Destination vs. Journey
We are so often caught up in our destination that we forget to appreciate the journey, especially the goodness of the people we meet on the way. Appreciation is a wonderful feeling, don’t overlook it. -unknown via Chrystal of Northwick Park
Holding Pattern
Hello friends! Apologies for the lack of posts these last few weeks. Moving and travel kept me away. I’ll be back to my regular pace next week and will be excitedly and enthusiastically sharing stories from my recent trip to Iceland and England. P.S. Did you see the sky over downtown tonight? Simply gorgeous!
Wandering // The Original Farmers Market
A few weeks back, I had lunch at Short Order at the Farmers Market with my long-time friend Barb. It was a warm winter day in LA and we sat outside sunning our selves like lizards. The burgers were good, but I’m still on the hunt for my go-to favorite burger. If you have any...
Wanderlust // Bryce Canyon
When I was eight, we spent a few days in Bryce Canyon, while we were on our way to Wyoming for our annual summer family camping trip. I thought it was the scariest place on earth. Of course, I did spend a lot of time watching Rescue 911 which at that age instills a profound...
Local Love // South Central Farms CSA
As long as I've lived in LA I've wanted to join a CSA but was a bit intimidated by the amount of food and whether I would like everything. Last Spring a student group at the college I work at connected with South Central Farmers to make the campus a CSA drop off point....
Around the World // March
It's pretty fascinating to look at all of the festivals, rituals and celebrations that happen in any given month around the world. Aside from St. Patrick's Day, here are a few things that happen in March.
Mixtape // Sounds Like…
So the title doesn't necessarily relate to the last two songs/bands. It does, however, represent the other three nicely. ECC sounds like a mix Death Cab and Modest Mouse; Givers, a little Vampire Weekend-y; and Birdy's cover of The District Sleeps Alone Tonight is a lovely and a bit haunting version of the original.
Wandering // Chipmunk on a Fence
Have you stopped by the see the new bright green Sunset Triangle yet? I hadn't until yesterday. There were plenty of folks hanging out playing basketball and lounging with friends at the bright green tables. Just down the street, I found this little guy and a few of his friends perched atop a fence post....
Wanderlust // Beach Day
It's just to darn beautiful out today. I would much rather be picnicking at the beach, dipping my toes in the ocean and flying my kite.
