Although this month felt soooo long, I can't believe it's pretty much over! 

Here are a few snaps from last weekend and the fun times spent kayaking in Long Beach with friends and family, we had such a blast. I can't believe my last time kayaking was like two years ago!! I have to get back into to it....I love it so much, it helps me unwind and it's such a good workout too. I remember kayaking almost everyday of the summer when I used to volunteer at a marine camp back in high school...good times for sure, brought back so many good memories :)

I'll be leaving on my awaited trip tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited :D

Feel free to follow along my Instagram to see my upcoming trip and more random adventures!

Hope you guys are enjoying your last days of summer!

Always a good time with these crazies! :P

Coffee Date + Beach Day

♫ Sam Evian- Sleep Easy ♫

I love playing tourist in my city and exploring all the small businesses opening up!

Although this coffee shop is not that new anymore it's still a gem in the middle of downtown, it's called Cafe Cabinet and they offer some of the best high-quality coffee in the city! 

We ended up getting the purple drink (which has a hint of lavender) and I got the iced rose latte with oat milk, it was so refreshing and delicious. They also have some of the best espresso in LBC and a secret menu, which I just found out haha.

It's been super hot lately here in SoCal so what best way to cool off than going to the beach, I usually try and go when I have free time or when I'm off work during the week since it's less crowded! Although "fall" is around the corner I still want to try and squeeze in as much beach time as I can...although let's be real...summer is not technically over here until late Oct-November.

Summer Hangs

♫ Jungle- The Heat ♫ 

Wednesdays have become one of my favorite days of the week, besides being hump day I also love that it's farmer's market day in Long Beach.

This has been one of my favorite farmer's market compared to others because A. it's in my hometown and B. it's next to the marina and they have some of the BEST food and organic products. haha.

My friends and family usually meet up there after work and catch up over fish tacos while listening to live music. Afterwards we eat popsicles and stroll around checking out the organic produce and stock up on some delicious yogurt and fruits!

Can't get enough, especially in the summer since the days are longer and warmer....definitely some of my favorite chill summer memories.

Good vibes.
