Whipped up a home cooked meal since it feels like forever since I've had that. Been living off of restaurant food which isn't bad, but there's something therapeutic about preparing your own food. I can never tire from my
tomato, basil & garlic pasta and nothing beats a perfect Monday late night dinner like this. Eating out has become quite excessive for me so it's nice to enjoy everything I made from scratch. Although I did dine at some really cool places the past week like
Umami Burger,
Terzo,
Bisou Bistro and
Skool. You can check my
nosh for more of my food adventures!
Oh and by request here's a little photo of my mavo pie. You can find pictures like these on my instagram:

Treasure Island Music Festival is one of my favorite festivals to attend in the Bay. Not only are the views of the city breathtaking, it's really small compared to Outsidelands and one cool thing I learned was that there are never any repeat artists, no overlapping set times, only 2 stages-- and all of this makes it a lot easier to maneuver through unlike Coachella where things are a lot more complicated. Everyone I came out to see, I've already seen at Coachella this year (
Chromeo,
Cut Copy and
Empire of the Sun) but as always, I enjoy a lot of the side things going on when no one is performing- vendor booths, carnival rides, food trucks. But my highlight had to be the
Silent Disco- haha this was actually
really funny. When you enter this cove it is so quiet.. almost reminiscent of entering a haunted winchester mystery house. At first glance it basically looks like a bunch of people dancing to nothing-- really funny to watch. But once you place these wireless headphones playing music in your ears and participate, everyone grooving actually begins to make sense.

Got this blazer at Liv Boutique in the Marina and fell in love the moment I saw it. If there is a print aside leopard I dig most, stripes would be it. Horizontal seems to be the only thing going on in my closet so I was pretty stoked to discover this. Ate at some new spots recently that I really like so I decided to get back on photographing/reviewing dishes/restaurants I dined at
here. Especially since I get a bunch of emails asking good places to eat in San Francisco or things like my diet? It's pretty hard to think on the spot of every place since there's a lot to choose from but my top recent spots are
Delfina and
Bi-Rite in the Mission- SO good!

It's interesting I thought I'd be homesick and now that I'm back I'm wishing I had an extra day to relive such an awesome trip. Some of my highlights I had was dining at
Nobu then walking up to club
Aura, which sadly I didn't have any photo's to capture my favorite night here. Thursday was their best night since a bunch of locals hosted the party and my best friend Veuve Cliquot felt like it was on tap at the table. I cannot stress how much fun this place is, almost reminding me of Vegas. Staying for such a long period of time in the resort it begins to feel like you're on a cruise where faces become familiar-- since it's big but really small at the same time. Oh and I played roulette and black jack for the very first time. I'm not a big gambler but I did win $15! (I only bought in $15 :P) Haha but it was a great trip and sad it ended so soon. I like the feeling of not knowing what the date is because time flew by so fast. If you make your way out here be sure to check out the other resorts like
Compass Beach Resort (above),
Bob Marley's Resort and my favorite-
One and Only, Ocean Club. That's where I want to stay next time I come back!
