RIP, Pescadero Flowery. While I was writing my Pescadero Travel Guide, I made the unfortunate discovery that the adorable Pescadero Flowery is now closed! I was looking forward to coming back during the summer so I could do the pick your own dahlias that they’re known for. But sadly this cute lil spot is no …
I love a good staycation, and we’re lucky to have so many opportunities for that in the Bay Area! Our most recent staycation was at the Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley in Palo Alto, where Omied and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend together. Over the last few months they’ve had a pop-up ski lounge called …
Dylan’s Tours: San Francisco Now that I am blogging full time, one of my goals this year is to bring you all more San Francisco content! When I was working at Google and traveling a bunch, by the time I got my travel content from other destinations up, I really didn’t have time to be …
Getting regular facials and have a great aesthetician (or two!) that you can rely on is a super important part of your skincare routine. I recently got to visit Turning Point Spa in Marin, and had such a lovely experience. The owner, Laurence McKee, is a second-generation skincare specialist, and was born and raised in …

And everything is on Amazon with two day Prime shipping! ?? This gift guide could be for your Galentine, treating yourself for V-day, or send it to …
Valentine’s Day is kind of a silly made up holiday, but I’ll take any excuse to celebrate my loved ones. That’s why I think Galentine’s Day is so fun! 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 …
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 …
During my recent trip to Scottsdale, I was excited to see that it has its own foodie scene going on, and there are several can’t-miss restaurants. We definitely ate well while we were in Scottsdale, and there were several other restaurants that we didn’t make it to during our long weekend, but that I’m looking …
Back in October I had the awesome opportunity to participate in a Tech2Empower volunteer trip to Cusco, Peru. Tech2Empower is run by the nonprofit WAKE (Women’s Alliance for Knowledge and Empowerment), and the program aims to use the power of technology in supporting women’s rights and social justice leaders and organizations to help amplify their …
This post is sponsored by Wayfair. Home organization ideas Omied and I just kicked off the new year with some serious Marie Kondo-ing of our apartment, and it felt freaking amazing! Nothing like starting a fresh new year with a cleaner, lighter, more organized home. It took a few days, and of course the state of …
Last year I got to fly business class on Fiji Airways from Nadi Airport to LAX, and it was a pretty lovely experience. Before my trip, I read other bloggers’ posts about their experience flying business on Fiji Airways, and it got me so excited for my flight! So I thought I’d share some pictures …
Things to do in Pescadero Last year Omied and I did a day trip from San Francisco to Pescadero, and we had so much fun! I’d never been to this adorable little town, but Omied had visited with his family a few times when he was a kid. He planned a whole day for us …
