I have been wanting to make candles for a long time so I was so excited to finally do this! What you need: Candle making wax – instead of buying new wax we used candles my mom doesn’t use anymore. We just cut them into smaller pieces so they would melt down easier. 2. Crayons- you can use the crayons to control the color of your candle you want. For example, we wanted our orange candles to turn out a…
The other day I was with my friend Bailey and we were talking about how we felt in life currently. The day before I had just gone to the strawberries fields in Carlsbad to pick some strawberries but mainly, take pictures. On the drive back home from San Diego I thought to myself “I should be happy right now”. I just did something fun with my friend, something new. We make plans to have experiences that make us happy, make…
I guess you can say my boyfriend and I have developed a tradition over the past few months of making fun food at his house. So far we have made sushi, key lime pie, and our own pizzas! It’s a fun little date idea and now we make it a point to plan what we will make next time. Ingredients: We got all of our ingredients at Trader Joes that even has a little at home pizza making area that…
My dad put in a garden about a year ago in our backyard. We are growing arugula, strawberries, dill, mint, and my favorite of them all…TOMATOES! Anyone who knows me knows I am obsessed with tomatoes. I will eat them like grapes out of a container. The tomatoes have been growing like crazy so we have been needing to use them and I thought of my favorite dish, Tomatoes with burrata cheese! I know some people cut out cheese from…
Once again Mckenna and I set out to do another thing on our bucket list last week. It has been nice that with my work and her work schedule we are usually off the same days and plan the weekend before to get together and do another new activity. Tie- Dying has been all the rage in what feels like the last few months. I know a countless amount of people who has done it as one of their quarantine…
Strawberry picking has been on my bucket list since last summer. Mckenna and I made plans to drive to Carlsbad to finally check it off! My dad was a little confused why we were driving an hour and paying to do something we could literally do in my backyard garden but hey! It’s for the experience right?! Some tips I would say about doing this would be: Wear shoes you can get dirty. My air force ones are still sitting…
My friend Mckenna and I made a promise to each other that this summer we wanted to try new wellness activities and explore new things we haven’t done before! So, we decided to go to The Chakra Shack in Laguna Beach! We started our wellness day with a nice hike to get a workout in and then had some lunch at Zinc Cafe. The Chakra Shack in Laguna Beach is the coolest! You walk in and are just transformed into…
My boyfriend and I had a fun date idea we wanted to try one night which was to make out own sushi. The rolls turned out much better than we ever expected lol. Everyone should try it! We got ingredients for making Philadelphia Rolls, California rolls, and some random toppings like masago and mango to play around a bit and make our own rolls! Ingredients/Supplies: Nori (seaweed paper, we got a ten pack) Spicy Mayo Masago Cucumber Mango Ponzo Sauce…
During this quarantine situation my family and I were fortunate enough to rent a house for two weeks in Palm Springs! It was so nice to just get away for two weeks out of our own house and make quarantine almost feel like a little vacation. My sisters and I were allowed to bring two friends who had been quarantining as well so we were safe. My friend Ellie and my boyfriend, Scott came out to me and made it…
It is hour # 4 of sitting in the Denver airport for my layover to get back to California. Yesterday my friends and I were sitting in my friend’s room in Tampa, Florida when our school announced that we will be off for another week then two weeks of online school following that. You could say this definitely changed the vibe of the trip. This virus thing is kind of surreal. I can’t really wrap my head around it to…
