So I've been brainstorming fun costume ideas since I feel exceeding the year before is always necessary. However the older I'm getting, the less creative it feels like I'm being and it's pretty hard to top off things I really loved in the past. Anyway, I got some pretty good inspiration that I think will do just fine. Can't wait to post pictures after the weekend! :)

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

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.
