Napa Newbies
I have a few friends visiting Napa for the first time in the next month. So I compiled a list of what to drink and eat while in Napa along with one of the best spas I’ve ever visited. Happy tasting! Eat/Drink Dim Sum Charlies – A gourmet (airstream) food truck, serving delicious buns and[…]
Iphoneography in Pacific Beach
TDH, the Frenchies and I take a weekly sunset walk on the beach. We live in a 1940’s house on the cusp of Pacific Beach and Bird Rock. I snapped this photo on my iphone of a surfer right after he hopped out of the ocean. I then edited and added filters using Camera+. Which[…]

Drive – Yoga on the Cowell-Purisima Trail
TDH and I explored the recently opened Cowell-Purisima Trail a few months ago while visiting Half Moon Bay. You must walk the 7.5 mile trail next time you find yourself on the NorCal coast.

Visit adorable little shops, snack on buttery bagels and take some time off of[…]

Can you tell I’m excited?
Lemon Thyme Whole Wheat Scones

Shooting Borelli’s Spring/Summer 2012 Collection in Belize
For this season’s Borelli campaign we headed to Belize. We spent a week shooting the new Spring/Summer colors at Matachica Resort and Spa and Ak’bol Yoga and Eco Retreat on San Pedro Island. The bright teal ocean, vibrant casitas and white sands were the perfect backdrop for our new palette of Tangerine, Lilac, Bahama Green,[…]
Crushed Red Pepper & Herb Focaccia Bread
I have a confession to make. My parents didn’t cook much growing up. We grew up on take out. I used to be AWFUL in the kitchen. One time I baked cookies for a boyfriend in high school and he unfortunately shared them with his entire math class. The teacher was horrified while everyone else[…]
