California Drifters

♫ Woods- Creature Comfort ♫ 

One of the many things I love about my hometown, Long Beach, are all the new small businesses popping up in just about every corner and most are all owned by women, which is definitely very inspiring!

I'm all about supporting small businesses, especially in my city, so when I heard that California Drifters was opening up on 4th street I had to pay them a visit. 

If you're into concept shops filled with cacti, home goods, organic/natural skincare, vintage clothing, and minimal goods with a boho flair then you must visit this shop. It's nestled in the heart of Long Beach in one of my many favorite areas of LBC, 4th st!

One of my favorite things about the shop was the interior decor...so mellow with a boho touch and it has plenty to offer despite its size!

Check out their IG here and make sure to pay them a visit if you're in the LBC area!  :)

San Francisco Summer

♫ Crystal Fighters- Lay Low ♫ 

Hey guys!

I hope you all had a fun long weekend!

I just got back from my NorCal trip, we ended up going to San Francisco, Muir Woods, and Santa Cruz. It was about 2 or 3 years since I had gone back to the Bay area so here are the first set of pictures from SF. You guys won't believe how hot it was out there though, the past summers I've been it's always in the low 60s with fog and rain, which is the typical weather out there anyways.  However,  this time around there was a major heat wave which is so unlikely for a summer in SF, I was expecting chilly weather but good thing I packed summery clothes too..truly saved me! Besides the heat wave, we had a great time though! We walked around Fisherman's Wharf, cooled down with iced mint mojito coffees, walked around the Embarcadero, went to Alamo Square to chill at the park, and afterwards we just drove around the city before heading out to Muir Woods for a hike.

I always love coming back to SF I'll just make sure to come back when it's not 100 degrees haha. Can't wait to come back sometime again though, I just love this city!

More pictures coming soon :)

Had to get Philz Coffee's Iced mint mojito coffee...so refreshing and one of my faves!

Swell Days

 ♫ Wolfmother- Vagabond ♫ 

Hey guys!

Happy Weekend! So excited for another fun-filled and relaxing weekend! 

I've been trying to squeeze in time for the beach as much as I can since we've been having a major heat wave here in SoCal, so what better way to cool off ...the beach of course...aka my happy place!

You guys probably already know from my pictures that Laguna Beach is definitely one of my favorite beaches in Orange County.  The clear waters, the waves, the hidden beaches, the sea caves, and the overall natural habitat/atmosphere does not compare to other beaches.

I'll leave you guys with a few snaps I took this past Wednesday on my day off....it may seem like a gloomy day but it was actually around 90 degrees and super humid with a bit of rain drizzle! The sea breeze helped a bit though and the water was so refreshing!

Do you guys have any fun-filled weekend plans?
