To preface this post, this is completely not sponsored. That would be super awesome but nope, I am a regular paying customer! I wanted to also share a little about myself before I tell you about my experience with Classpass. If you're not here for any personal deets, I totally get it, scroll down to the next heading below! I've almost always been less-than-average at being active. I didn't grow up consistently playing a sport so other than dabbling in swim lessons and playing one horrible season of high school tennis, I just didn't exercise often. As a result, my body wasn't strong and my endurance was really mediocre. The cycle of not trying to get better at a sport or working on my endurance turned into me disliking any activity because I wasn't good at it then that turned into me being bored by exercise. College was the very first time I actually went to the gym but it was occasional at best. I remember how accomplished I would feel afterwards but my goodness, it was just so boring. My saving grace is that I would bring my phone and watch Netflix while on some awful cardio machine. Looking back at that now, I'm laughing so hard at myself. (It could also be that I'm watching … [Read more...]
Taking the Clipper to Victoria B.C. & Travel Guide!
Years ago, I went to Victoria B.C. with my family in the summertime and we loved it. The summers are so mild and the city has so much history. When I moved to Seattle for college I went back to Canada multiple times with friends because it was just a short drive away. Now that I'm graduated and have settled into Seattle as my permanent home, Jared and I still want to travel to Canada since it's so close. We talked about visiting Victoria several times but never did it because it seemed like a lot of effort to get there, being that Victoria is at the southern tip of an island. Finally at the end of 2018 when we talked more about where we'd like to travel in the new year, I decided to surprise Jared with a trip to Victoria! My surprise was made super easy with the help of Clipper Vacations. I am so glad that we chose to take the Clipper to Victoria and am excited to share more about out trip with you! Why I Recommend Clipper Vacations Clipper Vacations runs a passenger-only ferry service between Seattle and Victoria. You'll depart from Pier 69 in downtown Seattle's waterfront which is a quick ride from where we live in CapHill. The journey takes just under three hours … [Read more...]
Wedding Planning Update #1: Picking a Venue, Photographer, and Dress
I recently wrote briefly about the wedding planning process being overwhelming for me. Some people have said this is surprising, but I'm not one of those girls that has dreamed about a wedding her whole life. I have dreamed about marriage but the actual wedding planning process? Not really. I'd rather spend more time and energy preparing myself for marriage, a lifetime commitment to someone, rather than spend all my energy and time planning for one party. Well, apparently that is not a satisfactory answer when people ask (every single day) how wedding planning is going so here's an update for all that are curious. Venue We got engaged on Labor Day weekend so we immediately had to start visiting venues since we wanted to get married in the summer of 2019. By this point, a lot of couples had booked venues or were in the middle of the process so even getting appointments to see venues was difficult! Plus Jared and I both had business trips right after our engagement so we really didn't get a chance to seriously tour places until the end of September. Some venues were no's right off the bat because of the size, cost, or availability. Then others were crossed off the list because … [Read more...]
