After spending time relaxing in Monterey, we packed back up and headed down south…off to Santa Barbara! I was driving so my personal hand model Kyle snapped this picture for me. I thought we could forge ahead without any detours, but we hit some serious traffic so a stop in San Luis Obispo for lunch was very necessary. As good as it is, Strawberry Serenity Kombucha does not a meal make. What is Mondeo? I’m still not quite sure… As far as I could tell the restaurant had meal concepts (for lack of a better… Read more >

I’m glad you guys are enjoying my tips for navigating the veg friendly parts of Cabo San Lucas… For our last night in Cabo we went to Hacienda El Coyote for dinner. The interior was on the eclectic side, but this was still probably one of the more “fancy” restaurants we went to. In addition to the restaurant area, they had a Tequila Lounge, and a few different outside seating areas. Navigating the wine list was the first priority after being seated. Check. Second order of business, the menu. Kyle started with a tomato salad… Read more >

1. Cabo Coffee Co. This was some damn fine coffee! The Cabo Coffee Company has two locations in Cabo, and if I had even an inch of extra space in my suitcase, I’d find a way to smuggle a few pounds home with me. Looks like those souvenir shot glasses are gonna get the boot. 😉 Paired with some lactose free milk (leche deslactosada)… Nothing like some fresh local java to put some pep in your step (not that anyone needs to be productive while in Mexico…). Runner up coffee selection goes to Blason Premium… 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 >

Today was a good day for your truly. And it will be for you too, since there’s a giveaway involved (read on). I have nothing very interesting to report. I started a new book, watched mindless t.v. shows, did Jillian’s shred (level 1), and then made it to the gym for my last workout at NYSC. I also did some eating. The single serving Silk vanilla soymilk was a freebie from the 1/2 marathon. Honestly, the goody-bags you get at races is such a fun perk. I also made pumpkin/carob chip toast (and only took… Read more >
