I never think itll happen again, but it does and its strange and it hurts.Growing, that is.Id put a lot of effort in becoming comfortable with myself and accepting that I am who I am. Embracing it, e...
Way back in February, our office hosted a "Formal V-neck Friday" (a spin on our regular "Formal Friday"). Shidume sent me the photos and as I compiled the snapshots together, I couldn...
Ive been on a Korean-food-kick ever since going with Anna at the beginning of the month. When my sister and I were in New York we had some pretty strong bi bim bap cravings (shes pregnant; I have no ...
Next time, Im bringing my bike.
Id been to New York once before-- when I was 16-- but I never saw the Statue of Liberty. I finally made it out on the Staten Island Ferry one Sunday evening with friends. Itll always be funny seeing ...
Tease me all you want but yes, I did drag my sister to Babbo just because its one of Mario Batalis restaurants. I remember staying up late watching Iron Chef (the original dubbed version) from the to...
There are few things better than Sundays in the park with friends. Ice cream is just the chocolate-shell on top.
Our office compiled this video in which we answer the question, "How has your mother inspired you to travel?" It warms my heart knowing that the people I work with cherish their mothers like ...
My new favorite restaurant and my new favorite food in my new favorite neighborhood. Arepas are where its at.I didnt know what arepas were until Joanna introduced us to Caracas. If youre unfamiliar, ...
A quick break in the Brooklyn posts to write about last night, so I dont forget.What Id originally thought was just a quick arepas dinner soon became an evening picnic in Dolores Park and then became...
My favorite way to find new places is through the recommendation of friends. After just arriving in Williamsburg, I wrote to Nicole asking for advice about local eateries and Bakeri was one of the ca...
Brooklyn was a side of New York I didnt expect. In Williamsburg there were hardly any taxis, tourists only here and there, and throughout the day it was easy to find quiet.My room had big, wide-stret...
Its weird stepping on a plane and knowing youll be back in a week. My past few plane trips were for extended stays so they felt like big life changes. Last Tuesday was nerve wrecking in a different w...
If the past couple of days are any indication of the year to come, I think there will be a lot of change.Right now, I like to wear my hair down more than I wear it up. My bangs are always in my eyes ...

Ha! Heres the original and heres the story.(Yup, thats Joseph Gordon-Levitt.)
Another exhausting weekend, but in the best kind of way. The weather was very un-San Francisco: it was sunny to the point that I got my sandal-tan back after only being in the sun for a few hours. Do...
Pimms was our go-to drink while punting in Oxford but I hadnt heard of Pimms cups until Jenna made them in our apartment last year. I saw Pimms on the shelf at Happy Hour last week and after ordering...
We didnt know what was around there-- we just parked and hoped for the best. We took a chance on the first restaurant we saw and decided to share everything. You got a pescetarian bento box, I ordere...
Our Saturday brunch between high school girl friends. Em showed us her wedding dress + church, Sara "convinced" us to get mimosas, and we all ordered the same thing. (A French toast sandwich?...
The Pacific is so big and so cold (where I live) that it sometimes feels untouchable. The ocean air is refreshing but the actual water is unwelcoming. Even though I rarely go in the water, I still fe...
Its here!! I was so excited that I flipped through every page to see the collection of beautiful stories and photographs-- but I cant wait to sit down and just read through everything. This is The Vi...
A Sunday stroll in Alamo Square with the Painted Ladies, Pauline, and the worlds sweetest 10-year-old-pup, Jules.
Mixed flowers, reading the paper, 5-hour long dinners and mint green pants. I love Spring.
Last week we had Happy Hour on our founders roof.The weather was perfect, the view was lovely, and one of our engineers, Alex, was DJing (hes amazing). Im a big fan of Happy Hour.
That time we took a cable car from work to 19 Rausch Street, where it all began.
The last time we went to Suppenküche, I forgot my camera and felt guilty about it all night. I didnt make the same mistake when we went back for Davids birthday. In fact, I might have gone overboard ...
Lately Ive been coming home every day after 10pm even when I get into the office at 8 in the morning. This might not seem like a big deal to a lot of people, but Im a homebody. Yes, I have wanderlust...
To this day, the hum of my mothers sewing machine is the most comforting sound I know. Shes always kept her (enormous, professional grade) sewing machine in my room. When I was younger, I would wake ...
On Friday, Airbnb hosted a "Mad Men Formal Friday" at HQ. We chewed on bubble gum cigarettes, got our shoes shined, and had mini photoshoots around the office all day (Im in the apron in the ...
