Poolside Chillin

Took a quick trip to Palm Springs for Easter and stayed at the Avalon Hotel. It was so relaxing getting away from the concrete jungle, hang by the pool, and think about nothing but food and sun. We also got massages, where the masseuse kneaded all my knots out. I think I'm still sore from that! It was 87 degrees but still slightly chilly in the shade. I rocked this jumpsuit all day, super easy to slip on and off. If you ever get to visit Avalon, definitely try Chi Chi at the Avalon, their poolside restaurant. For lunch, we had the pork belly hash and fish tacos. For breakfast we had the brioche french toast and veggie frittata. All amazing!

A Trip to the Desert

We took a road trip to Joshua Tree this weekend. Though it's only the beginning of February it was close to 80F during the day and as you can see from my super blue photos there was not a cloud in the sky. We went with our friends Christie and Derek and stayed at an awesome geo-dome, which you've probably seen on Instagram. We spent the morning driving through the park, then headed down to check out Salvation Mountain and watched the sunset by the Salton Sea. Will be posting some photos inside the Dome soon! :)

Hey Yeh Takes LA

If you have siblings, I encourage you to always keep up with them and try to make time to see them at least once a year, if not more. We all live quite far from each other and are embarking on very different parts of our own adventure, so we hardly have time to keep up with each other on the daily, which made this sister trip so important and so much fun!

We chose to stay in California because we wanted a nice and relaxing trip where we didn't have to worry about getting lost, language barriers, and pick pocketing. We took it easy, did a lot of shopping, eating, and spent time catching up! We have a video coming really soon to show you all the fun stuff we did, and all the yummy food we ate! I'm super excited about it, and hope you are too! 

Thanks Ashlyn for your apartment!

SacTown

Took a quick weekend trip to Sacramento. The city is small, but very beautiful and full of little quirks. We had a very eventful three days sight seeing, attending a dance battle, and shot the behind the scenes of an open field photo shoot that I can't say much about until the photos are out. We spent most of our free time in Old Sac, where it really felt like we were in an old western movie scene with cowboys and tumble weed. I didn't prep myself well for the cold weather, and came down with something the last day. After multiple airborne drinks, claritin-D and nyquil I'm feeling much better now!
