FYI, this is a very delayed blog post. I'm not as consistent as I'd like to be on here but
instagram and
twitter are always better ways to follow me along . Anyway, I went to
Twin Peaks and
Marin Headlands with Alex and his dad one weekend in April. Got lucky to see the best views in SF with the weather so nice. Found this top at Zara that happened to match his favorite t-shirt. Together with our matching
Tsovet's, I think we made a very cool
bershon photo.
I suck at blogging lately but I promise promise this will be updated very soon. In the meantime feel free to follow my meanderings on

Vada Sultenfuss was my style icon growing up. When I was a kid,
My Girl was always on repeat and I practically memorized this whole movie by heart. Generally, I've always been obsessed with my health and wellness-- possibly suffer from being a hypochondriac like her but I seem to get this way in the beginning of the year too. Currently on a juice cleanse and can't wait to tell you all about it. Will go into detail next time.

I need to kick this horrible habit of my late night eating out business. I don't remember the last time I had red meat but for some reason I had 3 cheeseburgers just within this week. 1 from
in-n-out, 1 from
pearl's deluxe, 1 from
umami. And the winner?
umami. I'm a sucker for sweet potato fries and though the thought of anything cooked medium grosses me out, it hit the spot at 1AM. Anyway, I was saving this outfit (the top mainly) for something exciting but decided it will be my staple uniform when I'm in a rush. Anything leopard catches my attention, that's for sure and I can't tell you enough of how many compliments I've gotten from these extensions. It's nice but it also gives me this weird complex that you can tell it's obvious but for the most part I think I have people fooled.

I haven't gone shopping in forever and am now making a conscious effort to look for outfits for all my upcoming trips. So far I've nailed down 2 solid ensembles and other than that my radar is still on. I had dinner at
BIX the other week which is an excellent place to go on a date. I'm obsessed with Mexican food and
Colibri's has some of the best fish tacos and happy hour I've tried. I've raved about Bikram at
Being Yoga in the past but am so in love with Vinyasa at
Yoga Tree in the Castro. St. Patrick's Day was quiet for me. The past 2 weeks actually. Oh but I participated in my first Trivia Night on Wednesday at
Tonic on Polk St. Sad because the only contribution I gave to my team was my knowledge of Tupac which shockingly nobody else knew! #WhereAmI? Anyway, there's your mini update of March.
I haven't been able to blog much because the past 2 weeks have been insane. I will definitely do more outfit posts soon now that I've gotten my life together. I lost my iPhone, my car keys, my house keys my brand new glasses I just recently purchased along with my favorite Jo Malone perfume :( Twas a crazy crazy night! Anyway, I'm over it.


I started this
juice cleanse suggested by my girlfriend Liz and so far I'm on my last jar and one night away from food-- can't wait! I recently had a
colonic, the idea is gross- i know but combined with fasting for 3 days, I must say it's been quite the experience. The purpose of doing this wasn't about weight loss though it is a nice added benefit. The older I get, the more I find it a challenge to maintain my body and at 28, it takes a lot more effort than just working out. Don't get me wrong, I
love my age-- I own it. I just had a lot more motivation when I was younger to go to the gym and the signs of aging are beginning to be more noticeable, for me at least. I'm not a fan of dieting, I love food too much and intend to eat just as normal once this is done. But I did this mainly because I wanted to release all the toxins inside my body and it just seemed like a good thing overall. I like to be proactive and lately after limiting my intake of alcohol and focusing on a healthier lifestyle, I've increased my energy and feel as clean as a whistle. Also, it was a perfect transition in switching to my next invisalign liner since downing liquids doesn't interfere with the pain. It's a nice way to start fresh and press the reset button on life. I've said goodbye to a lot of things in 2011 and doing this served as a symbol in letting go. I'm surprised for my determination in committing to this straight with no cheating at all. (It allowed a few permissible eats but I held strong.) I was even able to go out for *drinks* with some friends without caving. We hit up this dive bar
Bloodhound in SOMA and you won't believe they served beverages in the same exact cans these juices come in. The whole time I was thinking of ways to devise a plan to avoid the pressure of alcohol-- my friends are notorious in forcing people to drink so thank goodness I had one of them in my bag. Haha.. I even felt a little ghetto popping it out but it was better than giving in. I promise it's really not bad as it seems and I highly recommend you try it. After all, everyone can use a detox to clean out their system and this is one way to go.

The second day was definitely more exciting and this time we came prepared for the cold weather. Tumbled around in the day on the grass and poolside before we headed out. Drank an excessive amount of Jameson and ginger ale. Hung out by the beer gardens till we caught Bon Iver and met up with the rest of the folks at Kaskade. The VIP bracelet is pretty useless in my opinion. That or I just didn't know how to utilize it best. But all in all after today, Coachella was beginning to feel like I remembered it from last year. #awesome
