Monterey

Oh man, have I been living the dream!  As I previously mentioned, Kyle and I have been (blissfully) adding more mileage to our new civic this past week… We worked our way down the state, stopping in Monterey for a few days before settling in Santa Barbara for a few more. We stayed at the CUTEST B&B in Monterey called Old Monterey Inn.  Have you ever stayed at a Bed & Breakfast?  I loved everything from the decor (we were in “The Library”) to the fireplace to the happy hour (with chocolates and pistachios) to… Read more >

Hey Mickey!

Prepare yourself for some rather graphic images.  Gigi and Lulu, you have been warned. Going… Going… Going… (Still) going… Gone! The obituary of Mickey Mouse: Mr. Mouse was violently murdered over the weekend.  The main cause of death was trauma to the head.  After each ear was removed, the culprit next moved onto the facial features.  First to go were the eyes, followed by the cute button nose, and finally, the face as a whole.  There is no telling why the head was demolished with such speed, but the beloved mouse will definitely be missed….

Disneyland for the veg lovers

People don’t go to Disneyland for the food.  Period. The fact that things cost six times what they should isn’t even the worst part (and I’m no stranger to paying $20 for a salad – Whole Foods hot bar?).  Nothing screams gourmet like a Pluto Dog (how sad, by the way, for kids to associate their meal’s “meat” with a beloved character).  But, like I said, that’s not why people go to the “Happiest Place on Earth.”  Expect the worse, and you’ll never be disappointed right? So, in the interest of being prepared, I did… Read more >

Peek-a-boo

I’m here!  I’m alive!  I swear.  I’ve just been busy with too many fun things to remember to blog. Like a Disneyland trip for my mom’s birthday. And my wedding shower! 🙂 Momz, me, and my Auntie Wendy   …and a vegan cake, of course (thanks to my cousin’s baking brilliance).  I’ll be back with the deets about my shower (or at least the food part) and how to do a vegan(ish) day at Disneyland. 

The happs

To even try and show all my food over the past few days would be impossible.  I’ve just been livin’ it up.  So happy!  Friday I woke up at 5 for work, but my stomach was realllly unsettled.  I quickly threw oats, cinnamon, NuNaturals stevia, raisins, and carob chips in a baggy to take to work.  I rarely eat so early in the morning (even on work days), but for some reason, my stomach’s turmoil was leading me to believe food may be the answer.  I still got my usual soymilk-ified Starbucks, obvi. The night… Read more >
