I feel lucky that we’re getting this extra day in February this year (every extra day is great in my book, haha!) and I am taking advantage to post my monthly recap today. Do I sound like a broken record, when I say, that February disappeared as quickly as it came? Or, is it just…
1. I LOVE my new running tights* that I picked up (on sale!) at Old Navy. A lot of my workout clothes come from places like Old Navy, because they’re affordable and hold up pretty well (in my experience so far). And IMHO, pretty workout clothes are huge motivation boosters. Am I right? 2. Someone…
READING | All the flowers in Paris by Sarah Jio. EATING | fresh bread from the International Market, because #breadisnottheenemy. Can’t stop, won’t stop. DRINKING | Trader Joe’s Well Rested tea (peppermint + camomile, turns out is the combination of two of my favorite teas!). LISTENING TO | NRC Guided Runs. I am building up my…
With a little bit of a heavy heart, I made the decision to abandon my bullet journal for 2020. It wasn’t an easy decision, because deep down in my heart, I love the bullet journal approach, but I came to one eye-opening conclusion last year: when I used it, it worked great, but the truth…

Five Things Friday: just five things I’m thinking about or things that made my week, or things that I otherwise feel like sharing. Excuse the absence, friends. My host server was undergoing a migration to a new server (which hopefully will finally solve some of my page’s loading problems, because I don’t think the problem…
I read three books in January, which is a good start into 2020. I liked my life by Abby Fabiaschi (★★★☆☆) This book had a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews and I’ll admit that it had some good moments and a few bits of real wisdom scattered along the way, but overall I…
As every year, I struggle a bit with the start of a brand new year, a brand new slate and the pressure to set goals and resolutions and have it all mapped out on January, 1. That usually never happens for me and it’s been taking me a while to come up with my guiding…
My friend Susi invited me along for a girls’ weekend with some of her mom friends from German School. We were headed to Tahoe over the MLK holiday weekend and stayed at U’s vacation home in Truckee. I was thrilled to get up to the mountains during winter time and very thankful that I was…
