Ok. Honestly? I’m feeling a bit sick…great way to start off married life, huh? It’s not surprising that an illness should strike now, after the intense go-go-go nature of the past month I guess I had it coming. My body must’ve caught wind that my defenses are (finally) down. Too much travel, too little sleep, and on top of it all, my eating habits have been ridiculously (and abnormally) erratic over the past week (see above breakfast of crackers & hummus). I guess my immune system deserves a day off…I just hope a day doesn’t… Read more >

How I love thee, let me count the ways… 1. Prepared foods bar As you are about to see, I’ve been going through a few obsessions. Whole Foods makes it dangerously easy to slip into food ruts because each dish is better than the last and meals require no effort whatsoever (aside from determining if you want the Kirstie Alley size or the more moderate portion) because they are already prepared. Fumi Tofu Salad I was first introduced to this glorious dish back in my college days, when the Whole Foods opened in Westwood and… Read more >

In between apartment searching, we’ve been doing some exploring… Looks like WF has some competition (not really, but let’s pretend)! Can you believe I had never heard of Co-Ops until a year ago? I grew up with Farmer’s Markets, Health Foods Stores, and the likes, but somehow this amazing phenomenon eluded me. Luckily Santa Monica has one that I know will become a mainstay in my life. In addition to local growers’ produce, etc. this place has tons of great prepared eats…vegan and raw goods aplenty! The raw foods section was really $$$, but sometimes… Read more >

Hello from Cabo San Lucas! Last time I was here was January of last year and it was so fun I have no idea why I haven’t returned sooner…oh wait…there was that little job thing… Now, I feel like I’m on summer vacation. Even though living out of a suitcase can get old, I’m very aware of how lucky I am to be able to spend time off (post-move/pre-wedding) relaxing, visiting with friends, family, etc. Prior to heading to the airport on Thursday morning, Kyle and I made a few essential stops. 1. Starbucks [non-pictured… Read more >

After saying goodbye to this: And saying hello to this: I LOVE YOU CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about feeling like I returned home. Everything feels right in the world now. Seriously. There is no other way to describe it. I just feel like – at long last – I’m back to the city where I am meant to be. Kyle and I have been running all around So Cal, seeing friends, organizing our lives, buying a car, frequenting the WF hot bar, frequenting Starbucks, and y’know, just vegging out. Oh, did I mention the WF hot bar?… Read more >
