Hi friends! I am currently in the midst of prepping for my next international trip. This weekend I leave for a two week trip to Shanghai, China and various cities in Japan. I haven't been to Asia in many years so it's pretty exciting but it's also daunting. Any extended trip tends to make me anxious because there is a great deal of preparation that goes into them. There are certain things that help me feel more prepared before a trip that I like to do if I have the time. Here are some of my travel essentials that have been keeping me busy recently! Prep your skin. Traveling often means new climates, irregular routines, and sometimes unhealthy foods. I have very sensitive skin that's acne prone so traveling tends to be challenging for my skin. To be proactive, I like to get a facial a week or two before a trip. This helps prep my skin for the upcoming changes as well as getting it in good shape so that I am starting off with a good base. I used to see facials as a pampering treatment only however skoah has helped me get in the mindset that it's more a workout for your skin. To prepare for my trip, I recently went to skoah to get a power facial. I live in Capitol Hill so I love … [Read more...]
San Francisco’s Conservatory of Flowers
Greetings from San Francisco's Conservatory of Flowers for today's post! Well..I'm really just sitting at my desk in my apartment in Seattle but one can dream. This was one of my favorite parts of our trip and I can't wait to go back during my next visit to the city. Although I've been posting a lot of travel content lately I figured one more post would be alright since this one is also incorporating style :) If you haven't read my last post recapping my surprise birthday trip to San Francisco, you can read that here. BOMBER | SWEATER | BACKPACK (on sale) | SHOES | SKIRT (reversible and on sale!) ON JARED: Sunglasses are by Ollie Quinn (Use OQXIA for 10% off), watch is by Burberry, exact shirt Visiting the Conservatory of Flowers (located at 100 John F. Kennedy Drive) is a quick ride away from downtown. It's open Tuesday-Sunday and for adults who are non-residents of San Francisco, tickets are $9 each. The last time we visited San Francisco we didn't want to pay the admission because plants didn't seem that interesting, plus we were poor college students. It's funny how just a few years later we were so stoked to go inside. I am becoming more like my mother each day … [Read more...]
How to Spend a Weekend in Olympia, WA
If you take a quick browse through my blog or scroll through my Instagram, it's probably pretty clear that I love to travel, take photos, and eat. Since I entered post-grad life a few years ago, armed with more disposable income and spare time, I've done a lot more of these things with my other half. We've gone near and far (to other continents!) and we love it all. Something else you might have picked up about me is that I am a die hard Washingtonian. I've lived in Washington nearly my entire life and I intend on staying here the rest of it. Staying local and traveling within the PNW is actually one of my favorite things so getting out of the city for a weekend in charming Olympia was amazing! If you're planning a day trip or a weekend getaway to Olympia, WA then keep on reading and add some things to do to your itinerary! You can also check out my blog post from our trip to Olympia in September 2017 here. Day ONE We started off our trip by stopping in Tukwila to get a few pastries and some caffeine from 85C Bakery Cafe then continued to Olympia. I love that it's only an hour south of downtown Seattle, where we live, so we didn't even have to get gas! The route to our … [Read more...]
