bestiefest.

Today I am headed up north the bay area. Mainly to visit one of my besties, Lauren, and have what we like to call "BestieFest." Mostly we drink LOTS of coffee and visit our friend St. Francis at the winery. Have a picnic or a late night stop at Vista Point just across the Golden Gate Bridge. Drive around listening to the best mixes. Go to La Boulange in North Beach and have giant bowl-cup sized lattes. And laugh. A lot.

one of 47 cups of coffee.

couldn't have said it better ourselves

(oh and those are our matching elephant necklaces hehe)

La Boulange = best lattes (and they're HUGE!)

I can't wait to get out of town for a few days, it is so needed.

And I'll be back next week probably needing a vacation from my vacation,

but it will be so worth it.

SUMMERtime lists and such.

It's now officially summer and has been for a week now.

And I've been makin lists of things I want to do and see and places I want to go.

I'm gonna make me (at least) one of these. Image found here.

-D.I.Y. Now that it's summer it feels right to be doing/making a lot. there will be lots (hopefully) of d.i.y.s happening this summer. I already have a few in mind.

-Beach days. Bonfires. BBQs. These are some of my most favorite times with friends and I can't wait for more of them.

-San Francisco/Bay area. I'll be headed up north in less than two weeks! To be reunited with friends. I wish I was going tomorrow!

-Etsy. I haven't been very focused on my Etsy shop in the last couple months and when I went to check on it the other day I realized that I had no listings anymore, they've all expired. Goal: get better pictures of my product and revamp my shop.

-Books. I've been reading like a maniac these last few days and I am determined to keep it up over these next few months. As much as I hate to admit this, I almost forgot how much I love to read.

-Room. I almost forgot, I'm dying to re-do my bedroom. Even if all that means is to just rearrange the furniture. It just needs to be spruced up and I need a little change.

Yes, I do realize this list is not super extensive, but it's a start and I don't want to overwhelm myself with making a list so long that it just intimidates me. So for now, this will do.

What kind of things do you have on your list for summer?
