Fun Stuff
Capping off my fall travel spree I zipped down to SF for a little fun. Let’s start with my old neighborhood, the Mission. Visited Mission Pie for a bite (and a drink) and even spotted Phil himself at the original Philz Coffee. All in all, a sunny and fabulous visit.
We’ve all been there. Meeting your friend’s significant other for the first time is always a little, well, sketchy. You just never know. All parts of you are hoping this will be the dream scenario: the person is great, your friend is happy, and bonus you dig them enough to potentially have Friendsgiving with them […]
Portland is known for delicious food. On this most recent trip down to the Rose City I paid special attention to the details in the eateries themselves. It has always been an interest of mine and lately, I’m beginning to see it developing into a passion. 23Hoyt sits in the NW area of the city […]
I have a dear dear friend who goes by @Featherscroll on Instagram. Early on in our friendship we made a tradition of sketching together (even if it’s stick figures which I usually do, she however is SUPER talented). We started meeting every Wednesday morning over coffee before work and when schedules and location got more […]
It’s amazing how sometimes forcing yourself to take a break and see the sky and breathe the air will just fuel you. Hey, coffee doesn’t hurt either it’s true. What about both? In a really happy turn of events we’ve started little coffee breaks or lunchtime photo strolls at the office. Today I had a […]
Maybe you’ve heard of Salt & Straw but don’t get all the fuss. It’s just ice cream, right? WRONG. Insanely long line? Worth it. Too many flavor options? Worth it. But I have to get to Portland to eat this stuff? People, worth it. Also, they have a shop in LA so West Coasters I […]
Once upon a time in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood there lived an adorable little coffee and wine shop named Vif. No seriously, it’s that cute. The food is that tasty. Vif has all the comfort of being a heroine in a storybook all cuddled up by the fire with your woodland creatures singing to you. I […]
It’s the weekend!!! That means I have a little more headroom to edit photos, shoot more photos, and then edit some more! I have to say, with all the snapping I’ve been doing I’m starting to really get into a rhythm. I just bring my camera and if anything happens while I’m out, great. I’ve […]
A couple of weeks ago when I was wandering around Portland with my sister we were on our way to the bus stop and I veered off to take this picture. I think it took me 5 solid minutes to compose it just so and of course – we missed our bus. But the more […]
I refuse to call myself a coffee snob but I do know a damn good cup of coffee when I taste one. On the suggestion of a friend I zipped through Portland with my sis to check out Coava Coffee Roasters on Grand. There’s something undeniably spectacular about a truly well crafted cup. It’s art. […]
