These San Francisco coffee shops threw me for a loop
When I think coffee shop, I think of leisure. In my imagination, I am toting a book or a laptop so I can sit and savor the flavors and the experience. My San Francisco coffee experience was not that. It was in and out and keep it moving. I visited two shops on my stay…

Lets do a quick run down of a few of the restaurants I visited in San Francisco
Alright, on three we’re going to do a run through of some of the restaurants I visited while in San Francisco: Hinodeya I ordered the creamy vegan ramen. As the waiter walked away, I felt instant regret. “What even is creamy ramen? And how do you make it vegan?” However, when the food arrived, I…

I finally gave retinol a wee try- Verso Night Cream
One thing I have repeated for sure on this site is my weariness about retinol as an ingredient in my skincare products. Even though I used it unknowingly in an eye cream that I loved, I’m still hesitant. In my mind, it is going to make my skin instantly photo-sensitive. And as soon as I…

A fragrance memory
I remember it well. I was in high school and had received a bottle of Victoria’s Secret body lotion in the scent Rapture. It was a throwaway gift, one I imagine the giver didn’t think much of. But I wore it, as I dressed myself up as much as I did as a teenager and…

Getting the best view of the Golden Gate Bridge
As a visitor to San Francisco, I of course needed to see the Golden Gate Bridge. We drove to the observation deck. I was prepared for picturesque views. I was not prepared to have to fight to see them. The first battle was parking. The lot was tight, with few spaces, but a long line…

This San Francisco chocolate tourist site is way overrated. Here is where I’d tell you to go instead.
The Ghiradelli Chocolate Experience. I had such high expectations, but alas it is not accurately named. Granted, you might be able to find more flavors of chocolates for sale than in your local store, but to call it an “experience” was a bit much. Unless by you talking about the experience of long lines and…

The assumptions I had before going to San Francisco
I went on my recent trip to San Francisco with some assumptions. These are the two biggest things you might come across as you plan or go about your journey. Let’s have a quick chat about weather and safety. Before I left, I was told to pack warmer than I would think necessary for a…

I think this mask is making me like my hair again
Hair care has been a struggle for me, in both the noun and verb sense. I haven’t been able to find hai rcare products that I really loved, that made may hair feel amazing. And because I don’t like the results of the products, I just have dreaded doing my hair. All of the time…
