  • Walking along the Embarcadero

    I can’t help but feel that walking is the best way to get to know another city. And it is easy to take a walking tour of San Francisco, just following the Embarcadero. Here are some stops we made along the way. Fisherman’s Wharf: We stopped here for people watching, and to take in the…

  • 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…

  • Smelling Cafe Rose by Tom Ford

    Based on the name, Tom Ford’s Café Rose led me to believe it should smell like a rose growing in a coffee shop. Maybe that is a good way to describe it. Perhaps there is an essence of coffee here, but what comes forward is rose. I don’t notice the coffee as a distinct element…

  • Rooting for you

    I felt great the other day. I cooked a fresh vegetable filled dinner, worked out, and overall had a productive day. I was glad to be getting back into the swing things, back in to myself. It was clear that I was on the path to build the good habits I’ve been hoping for. And…

  • It’s just marketing: Earth Month edition

    I came across an article on Vogue Business discussing why they didn’t cover any Earth Month fashion initiatives. The short answer- no one is really doing enough work to warrant a post. It got me thinking about how sustainability has moved from authentic concern for the earth to  is turning in to a buzz word.…

  • Bad reviews are good

    Word on the street is that MKBHD destroys companies with his bad reviews. Somehow I doubt that. (He does, too) But, the idea that that a creator shouldn’t upload negative reviews? That is something we should think through. Let’s get this out of the way. Negative reviews are not bad; they are information. Regardless from…

  • Victoria Beckham’s collection with Mango is available now.

    Real quick: The Victoria Beckham x Mango collection is now live. If you were a Spice Girl fanatic or are just enamored with the polished and refined style of her eponymous line, get interested. I like this as it brings the connection to the Victoria Beckham brand down to a more affordable level. Please note…
