As someone who easily gets scared by any horror film, and most “thriller” movies which might as well be labeled as a horror too, the last podcast I ever thought I would be listening to is one with “murder” in the title. I stumbled upon the podcast My Favorite Murder after the alleged Golden State … More Podcast: My Favorite Murder
Notes On The Film Ocean’s 8: Ocean’s 8 was already good before I even saw it just because they cast all of my favorite people. I will not tolerate harsh reviews for anything with my faves in it. Sandra, Cate, Mindy, and Sarah do not get bad reviews, they just don’t. Some party poopers have … More Ocean’s 8
I was very skeptical of a “drybar” concept, as my first thought was why not just go to a full service hair salon and get your hair done if you need it for a special event. I was also skeptical of the idea of paying to get your hair styled for everyday life. I was … More Drybar

When traveling on a budget, my family likes to play the “stay in a cheaper hotel and then pretend to stay in a fancier hotel” game.

Of course any Marvel movie does not need anymore hype surrounding it, and I am sure at this point most people have decided if they are seeing this movie in theaters or not, but I had to share my first impression while watching Avengers: Infinity War because it was a roller coaster (and I will … More Avengers: Infinity War
I never actually tried the food at Big Sur Bakery, but it is the thought that counts. Mostly I wanted to share photos from this little stop along Highway 1 because I found it adorable, I encourage you to stop by this restaurant to actually try the food, and I think these photos perfectly encapsulate … More Big Sur Bakery
