February (and January), Instagrammed
So for the first time in literal years, I missed one of my monthly Insta recap posts. I forgot to do January’s Insta post, and then February ended up being one of the hardest months ever when Omied’s dad passed away. So I’m just going to combine both months into today’s post and call it…

Weekend in Yosemite
Sometimes you just need to spend the weekend in awe-inspiring nature to gain some perspective, and feel humbled. The weekend after I quit my job at Google, that’s exactly what Omied and I did. We high-tailed it up to Yosemite and it was just what we needed. Since it was snowing and we don’t have…

Four Seasons Silicon Valley: Après
I love a good staycation, and we’re lucky to have so many opportunities for that in the Bay Area!

Printable Galentine’s Day Cards

What’s better than getting together with your best gal pals just because? Whether you’re hosting a Galentine’s Day get together at your place, doing a Galentine’s…

The perfect custom Valentine’s Day gift for your man
This post is sponsored by Shinola but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. Valentine’s Day is coming up, and usually Omied and I keep it pretty low-key for V-day. We don’t even really like to go out for dinner on Valentine’s Day, because all of the restaurants in the city do a…
