It’s time for December’s recap! So much holiday cheer, a Lean In retreat, and this post doesn’t even include our trips to Maui, Oahu, and Redwood National Park, all of which will come in future posts (hopefully soon-ish). We kick it off with our monthly Office of Accountability meeting, hosted in Meg’s wonderfully decorated apartment,…
Melbourne! I first visited Melbourne three years prior on our whirlwind tour through New Zealand and Australia. My time in Melbourne was brief but wonderful. This time, visiting Australia with Alex, we had different work schedules which meant that he arrived in Melbourne three days before me, we then took off for our road trip…
My great Thanksgiving adventure this year was a jaunt around Australia. We started in Melbourne, and from there rented a car to take a road trip along the Great Ocean Road, Australia’s analog to our Pacific Coast Highway in California, although perhaps a more concentrated version with epic landscapes along this 150-mile stretch. Our overall…
It’s become an annual tradition for me to collect small gifts along my travels and to gather them as holiday gifts for my wedding clients. I really love choosing the items as I go and curating these one-of-a-kind packages, never to be repeated from year to year! 2019 was such a full year for travels….
Connection From the start of 2019, I chose “connection” as my theme for the year. Connection is the heart of what makes us human, and yet, I so often resist it, setting it aside for comfort, introversion, and an attempt to protect myself through isolation. I wanted to push myself beyond that and to practice…
The last couple months have been very packed with travels! But we’re catching up now with the November Bay Area recap! First, dinner at the new, much-lauded Nari. Very delicious, and a beautiful space inside Hotel Kabuki. Alex’s monthly wine club pickup! And a visit to Heath Ceramics. Watched the movie Parasite with Dan and…
As part of our trip to attend a New England wedding this November, we also got to spend a couple days in New York City, eating our way around town. Here’s a little recap below! Night one, dinner at Cosme with our wonderful host Julia! We took note of their use of Heath Ceramics. Duck…
We caught the tail end of fall when we visited the East Coast to attend Alex’s friend’s wedding in New England. We flew to New York and then took a road trip to Connecticut and Rhode Island, making a quick tour of New Haven, Mystic, and Providence along the way. Glimpse a bit of the…
Let’s take a look back at October: a month filled with delicious meals, lovely gatherings, and a pumpkin patch! First off, I had a meeting with a team at Pinterest! Here’s a view of SF from their roof deck. Working on my Pinfluencer ambitions… Dinner at Besharam. I got to host this month’s Office of…
The months just keep flying by. It’s time for a recap of September! We start with a business meeting / friends’ outing! First I met with Dan and Jeri for brunch at Grand Lake Kitchen Dimond District in Oakland… we’ve officially booked their wedding for 2020! And then we headed to Alameda for a visit…
I got to spend the first weekend of September up in Seattle thanks to Jen & Gary who flew me up for their engagement session. It was a quick but full trip. Despite meeting a crazy thunderstorm and the first rains of the season, I was armed with my new rain shell that I had…
It’s already time for another monthly recap! And this one is going to be a long one, because I was actually in the Bay for almost the entire month, and I was lucky enough to have many little adventures filling all my weeks. We start with a beautiful panoramic view from Tomales Bay! Fresh oysters…
