I took advantage of Virgin America’s final 2-for-1 deal at AT&T Park and booked me and the misters a trip to Puerto Vallarta last weekend. We stayed in the small town of Sayulita for 2 days and then the remaining day and a half in PV. It was a short trip, but action packed although I’m kicking myself for not booking one more day. This trip was just the right amount of culture and tourism, simplicity and boujee. Sayulita reminds me of the movie Coco come to life. It’s a little

Last week, me and a few of my favorite people went to Hawaii to celebrate 3 birthdays. Although I’ve been to Oahu 4 times, Hawaii is always a good idea. It unfortunately rained a majority of the time but if there was any group of people you’d want to be stuck in a beautiful house on the North Shore with, it’s US. Eat, beach, sleep, repeat. That was the theme of the trip, and I have the pot-belly and sunburn to prove it. Below are a few photos from the trip, as well as a video

I traveled to Oahu solo once, and it was probably my second best trip there. My last solo trip was a little different. After much debate and hesitation, I booked a flight to Kauai. Although it’s still Hawaii, it’s one of their more rural islands with less tourists and city life so I envisioned myself stranded on a dirt road with a dead cell phone and no gas. Paranoid much? Always. Not that I thought Kauai was riddled with crime, I’m just a Virgo and worrying is what we do. I

I visited the island of Kauai for the first time last week and must say … it was everything I didn’t know I wanted. For five days I was laptop, makeup, TV, and worry free (except for that one time I thought I was going to drown, and that other time I envisioned getting pummeled by a wild boar). I spent my mornings reading in a hammock, my afternoons baking on the beach, and my nights sleeping underneath the stars. But the majority of my trip was spent out of my comfort zone.

The new job is kicking my ass so hard I barely have time to eat, what more blog. I’m not complaining, I’m just explaining. I swear I’ll get my shit together in time so that I can get back to the old me (just not the broke me), and make time to write and work out again. For now, here’s a few pics from the beginning of the year when I went to San Diego and L.A. More after the jump! This is the view from Ed and Rolls’ loft in DTLA. I absolutely love their place, because it has a

Imagine a bunch of drunk people slip-n-sliding. Then, imagine them slip-n-sliding into a game of flip cup. And then, throw a body roll into the mix. This video doesn’t even do our Labor Day Weekend BBQ justice. Shout out to the SoCal fam for the hospitality, esp Anna, Patiwut (Patiwho?) and Dr. Dre for house sitting lol.

On a whim, me and Rach took a last minute trip down to L.A. during 4th of July weekend, and I am so glad we did! When did L.A. get so fun? Filled with sun, beach time, uni, and good people, it ended up being my favorite trip to LaLaLand ever. #gallery-18359-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-18359-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 25%; } #gallery-18359-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #galle

I sincerely apologize for my lack of posts last week, but if you follow me on IG (instagram.com/gatnb) then you’ll know I was in Hawaii. While I was having an amazing time, I will say I missed blogging like a mother misses her baby after a long vacation. This was my 5th time visiting Oahu, but my first time there with my mom. I can definitely say it was a different, but amazing trip nevertheless. Here’s a few pics from the beginning of my stay, enjoy! #gallery-16272-2 {
