touristy

ive lived by San Franciso my entire life. ive been there so many times. yet, it always seems so brand new and I seem to act like a tourist every time I go. haha. This past Saturday me, Bonnie and Michelle went. I feel like the trip was much more memorable then usual because I got to ride the cable car for the first time! I had no idea that it led you near the Pier (which is where we wanted to go). We did some shopping then took the trolley to Fisherman's Wharf. What an experience. its seriously so cool and only cost $6. For dinner we ate at Joes Crab Shack, then watched the fireworks that were held at Pier 39 (theyre having it every Saturday at 8pm of this month!), went to Ghiradelli Square & got the most delicious hot cocoa! mmm. What a fun Saturday! :)

Hello lovely bloggers :) How was your Labor Day weekend? Mine was pretty nice. Friday and Saturday we celebrated my nephews birthday. Saturday night we watched some of the VMA performances, I really wanted to see Nsync again. haha. After church on Sunday, some of my friends and I made a trip to good ol San Francisco. We ate at one of our favorite spots, Buckhorn Grill (mmm), and then walked around while we stopped at some shops (including Lush and Urban Outfitters). After that we headed over to the Pier were we watched gymnast do some daring moves on the streets, ate clam chowder for dinner, played at Musee Mecanique and had Ghirardelli's ice cream for dessert. It was a pretty long day but fun. The photos above are my favorite shots from the day. On Labor day I didn't do much but stay home and then headed over to my sisters where we watched Tyler Perry's Temptation and Argo. Both are really good by the way. One part of Argo I got up and started pacing back and forth in the living room having crazy anxiety haha. I cant even imagine if I watched it in the theaters. haha. I really want to buy that movie, it was really good.

Those of you who are wanting to purchase some brooches, they will be added to my shop by 6pm tonight :)
Hope you all are having a lovely Tuesday!

Happy Body Slow Brain + Gavin Castleton

So a friend of mine is in a band called Happy Body Slow Brain (HBSB), i have listened to a bunch of their songs and have been wanting to go to their show so bad.
Thank God they played in San Francisco this month!
They played at Bottom of The Hill on January 4th, with the very talented Gavin Castleton.
Here are some photos from the show! I got to say, it was one of the best ive ever been to.
Such great music from both HBSB & Gavin Castleton. If you have not heard of them, please take a listen! :)

Sorry for low quality photos, it was pretty dark in there. haha.
