Almond Milk

After much too long, I have finally discovered the source of my occasional stomach discomfort. Milk! I decided to test this theory and go dairy free for a little while. I bought myself a bottle of almond milk. I tried a couple of different ones. They were… decidedly meh. They certainly did not work in coffee, which is what I most use milk for. Some were watery, others were very grainy, and all of them were too heavy on the vanilla and cinnamon. I thought I would try making my own. It is worth it. It is cheaper. It is DELICIOUS. It is very easy. Here is what I do. UPDATE: I have decided to […]

Social Distancing 101 If you are anything like me, you love being out. Being stuck inside when spring is just beginning to show herself is not ideal, but with everything that is going on right now, it is the best thing to do.

All over shop windows in the city are flaunting lovely outfits for warm spring days. I managed to snap a few pictures of some of my favorite shop window outfits in the city, just to give you an idea of what to expect when the weather warms […]

Paris 2020

This Sunday, I am off to Paris for a week. I absolutely love traveling. I find that there is nothing like it to get you out of a funk and refresh your spirit. As winter draws to a close, I am ready to shed this mild funk I have been in, and I think Paris is just what the doctor ordered. So on Sunday, I will hop on a direct flight and wander around the city for about a week. Of course, it IS still winter. And February in Paris is not like February here in California (all of our trees are currently in full bloom). It will be cold and rainy, but it will […]
