Strawberry Fields Forever

(Wearing: F21 blazer, Target romper, Vans sneakers)

Perfect spring outing= strawberry picking!

I must say I missed my old stomping grounds (Oceanside and Carlsbad) in San Diego. This past weekend I felt like spontaneously driving out to SD with friends and we decided to go strawberry picking. I just love it out there, the weather was perfect and we got a bucket full of yummy fresh strawberries! It brought back great memories when my family and I used to go strawberry picking every spring and make chocolate covered strawberries, and strawberry lemonade. Good times!

We also checked out Carlsbad's flower fields right after, so stay tuned for those pics! :)

Taste of DTLB, food tasting event ^^

Chocolate pudding martinis ^^

Lately I have been posting tons of pictures of my hometown, Long Beach. I can't help it, I love my city! Growing up in Long Beach I've seen how much the city has evolved, it has definitely gotten so much better!

 One of my favorite things to do in LB is simply stroll the streets and explore every corner. My favorite area has to be the East Village Arts District in downtown. As you can see this area has hidden gems everywhere from : quirky cafes, yummy restaurants, art galleries, cool street art, record stores, boutiques, flower shops, and ALWAYS good vibes. I also love how this city is dog friendly, major plus! There's nothing you won't find out here. The last pictures are from the annual street food tasting event called "Taste of DTLB", it was held in the heart of Long Beach's arts district. There was a bunch of delicious food from local restaurants and live music, very fun! Can't wait for the next one. 

If you're ever visiting SoCal I definitely suggest visiting this lovely city by the sea.

Popbar

Celebrating the Spring equinox by indulging popsicles at Popbar in the Anaheim Packing District. I can't get enough of their popbars, I got a green tea flavored popsicle dipped in dark chocolate, topped with almonds, and drizzled in while chocolate, how can you say  'no' to that?

Hope you guys had a great weekend and first day of spring!

I'll leave you guys with a few snaps from last week. The weather has been sooo hot lately, but a quick drive to the beach and ice cream make up for it. I guess Spring decided to surprise us early this year! :)

Holi Color Festival

This year I finally got the chance to go to Holi Color Festival in Little India. All I can say is WOW it was even more fun than expected! Holi is an ancient Hindu festival that represents: love, happiness, the arrival of Spring, and new beginnings. T'was a fun experience! There was also a live band playing some Indian and reggae beats. Overall, there was such a good crowd, good music, good company and good vibes! This made me want to go to India even more than before. Thanks to our good Indian friend Devanshi for sharing her beautiful culture with us!
