This month was definitely a good one, it was great one spent with friends and family. 

I can't believe the end of the year is here! I have to say it went by super quick but I'm grateful for this year despite the many ups and downs.

 I'm so ready for 2019 now! :)

Wishing you guys a happy new year spent with friends, family, and loved ones!

El Dorado Nature Walk

♫ Mazzy Star- Sparrow ♫ 

Wow can't believe Christmas Eve is here! It's been a very busy past few weeks but I finally got a chance to relax and go to El Dorado nature center in Long Beach for a morning stroll. I know it's officially 'winter' but from these pictures it actually feels and looks like fall haha, it was so nice getting to see all the beautiful golden trees and leaf colors. This is one my favorite local spots to get in touch with nature,  it just helps me unwind ....love it so much! This was a perfect day trip before diving into the Christmas Eve festivities with family.

How are you guys spending the holidays?

Renegade Craft Fair '18

♫ The War on Drugs- Come to the City ♫ 

This year's Renegade Craft Festival in LA was definitely way bigger than I remember, the last time I was there was like 2 years ago but I have to say I definitely enjoyed it more this year. The vendors, the weather, the vibes...loved it all!

My favorite part about this festival is that I get to meet up with some local artisans and discover new ones too! Some of my faves include: Hey Moon Designs, Mien Studios , Rex Design Ceramics, West Perro, and a bunch of others! If you guys haven't been I definitely suggest checking it out next year! Renegade Craft Fair is also held in many other cities like San Francisco, New York, Dallas, and Chicago to name a few. Have you guys been before?
