My Own 30 for 30

I’ve been skinny my entire life. Like, OMG I cringe when I look at old pictures because my legs are so stick-thin that my knees knock together and my collar bone protrudes, skinny. Eat a double cheeseburger, skinny. (I seriously ate Big Macs from a young age, so it’s not that, but thanks for the…

Fair and Lovely

The California Mid-State Fair is a huge deal here, and thanks to Travis’ job, we were able to score tickets to one of the concerts…

Travis and Jihan are domesticated

Apparently I have too much “stuff” and my “stuff” encroaches on the other side of the dresser. My suggestion was to buy a nightstand to store some of it. Lucky for me, I have a creative, do-it-yourselfer right next to me. After researching the types of nightstands I…

SLO, Here I am, West Coast

After four lightning-quick years in New York, I left a full time position, sold my furniture*, said “see you later” to friends and moved across the country to be with the love my life.

San Luis Obispo (aka Come Visit Us)

Here’s a peek of what I experienced before I even moved here.

Oceano Dunes

Just 20 minutes from our apartment, the Oceano Dunes are a pristine 3,500 acres. It is the only beach in California that allows off-highway vehicles (aka ATVs…

When in Rome…eat a lot

I really do not know where to start but to say that I barely scratched the surface of what Rome has to offer. Which is funny because of the years of history that Rome has been built on. How amazing that you can dig just a few feet and see pristine marble floors?

Focus & End (30f30 Update)

Week 3

I am officially requesting a refund from SoulCycle and Flywheel. Those classes did NOT prepare me for going uphill in real life. Biking these hills is HARD. My legs gave up on me three quarters of the way up a hill while I was “out of the…
