we had dinner at bushi-tei to celebrate tomiko's birthday and i had a vegetarian omakase salad and the grass fed tender beef loin that was amazing. i got an email that wanted suggestions of places to eat and this is definitely one spot i would recommend, along with some other favorites that I recently went to like Nopa and Foreign Cinema in the city and Starks, Syrah Bistro, and Rosso Pizzeria up North in Santa Rosa. Dine about Town also started 2 weeks ago so that's another great way to check out some popular places in San Francisco for a fraction of the cost. I saw an article in the Chronicle of the Top 100 Bay Area Restaurants and I'm making my way down the list to see if they live up to the reviews and so far the ones that I've tried I have not been disappointed. here's to my bestest friend in the whole wide world,
happy birthday tom!

I usually beat the fog and chase the sun up north but strangely the weather has been the exact opposite and the amount of sunshine for January is just a little odd but I have no complaints. I just discovered my new favorite beverage- coconut water, my new favorite dessert- chocolate covered macaroons from Mazetti's, I've reread a bunch of my favorite books from Paulo Coelho- The Alchemist and Eleven Minutes and I just began to take Bikram Yoga again. Oh and even though my love for Sauvignon Blanc will never pass, my tastebuds have finally acquired beer so Stella, Red Stripe, Corona with a lime or Widmer Hefeweizen with an orange are all kinds I can get along.

i had a glass of wine last night and a cup of joe today, so in just less than 2 weeks, my attempt to follow through with my new years resolution was a complete fail.. but in fairness, it wasn't really realistic.. i'll figure a new one out shortly.. but till then i get a bunch of emails on working out.. and this seems to be what most people are relentless about in the beginning of the year.. and mainly my workout routine is just a habit that hasn't changed since this post from 2 years ago, however, i have updated a few things like: - going to a nicer gym- it makes me feel good to work out around dedicated individuals, it's a lot more motivating
- new running shoes- this was my first purchase of sneakers in 10 years! (not even exaggerating--seeing that orange nike shoebox felt very new but strangely familiar)
- spin once a week and run the other days
- incorporate more protein, veggies and fruits to maintain a healthy diet
- and my playlist that shuffles, which is currently..
oh and btw- according to 2011, i'm no longer a capricorn :(
Everyday, I literally just wear blush and eyeliner but for going out, my staples are:
MAC studio moisture tint foundation, mineralize skin finish natural, blacktrack fluidline, graphblack technakohl eyeliner, charcoal brown shadow for brows, any mascara, pink swoon blush, love nectar lustreglass with a hint of full fuchsia lipstick
And if I want to amp it up more, i'll add on:
belightful, #7 lashes, and maybe change up my foundation to studio fix fluid
Being a former makeup artist for MAC Cosmetics, I've accumulated an enormous collection, including items that are still unopened. Since I can't use them all, I've saved my favorite limited edition products that I have no intention of ever using and the rest I've gifted to my girlfriends just to share the wealth.
