Vancouver Girls Trip
A quick weekend trip to Vancouver was just what we needed for our annual girls trip. It was an easy two-hour flight from SFO to Vancouver, and just what we needed before returning to SFO on a Princess cruise.
We landed in the afternoon and spent the first few hours chilling in our hotel before our fall day. The next morning, we started with Tim Hortons (of course!) and then headed to Stanley Park for a walk. The fall vibes were perfect, and there was so much to do. It reminded me of Central Park.

After Granville Island, we took the mini ferries. They're such a cute and easy way to get around Vancouver. After that, we went to dinner at our hotel because we were tired, but for dessert we went back out and tried Breka Bakery & Café. They have so many options, from sweets to actual food, and it's so close to Canada Place. If you're getting on or off a cruise, definitely stop by.
It was a short one-day trip, but it definitely made us want to go back. There's so much left to do and explore. The city is clean, and we felt safe as women.

Mystery Picnic
I have found a fun activity that I think you will all love. The best part is this is great for any occasion, a fun date night, a girl's night out, or just a great gift for any occasion. It's a mystery picnic from Amazing co. and as you can tell from the name it is a cool way to have a picnic, I would describe it as a mystery room meets the picnic. You select the adventure that fits your need and the company sends over a location to start and through your phone, they start sending over clues you and your plus one (Or group) need to solve to find the first spot you need to stop to pick up an item to add to your basket to build the picnic. The fun thing is these clues take you to amazing businesses where you pick up your goods, but can also do some shopping at these local shops.
I did Halfmoon Bay and it was a great adventure for my weekend and open my eyes to some amazing places I always want to try and just kept saying "Next time". The food was amazing and the clues were so much fun! Some of them were slightly taught, but they do give you clue and if you need the answer they do provide it. The funny thing was that I did meet many people who were also doing their Mystery Picnic and were enjoying their time. The best part is the food was so good and the Picnic location was amazing. Honestly will be doing this again, it was so much fun and best part is that you get so much out of the adventure

1.Arm Wrist Weights.
I think they are a must have! You can easily use them for easy quick walks, to an intense hikes, or if your doing 12-3-30. Its also handy to have around if your doing Pilates, dance cardio or starting out in your workout routine for 2022. I have be enjoying them for light workout classes on Peloton.
2.Initial Necklaces.
This is one "That Girl" item I never thought I be into, but it has become an outfit staple. Initial necklace could be worn with any outfit and make you look put together. Even if you got out of your bed. The best part is you can personalize this to your personal style from minimal, funky, preppy. I been loving a gold one
3. Athleisure sets
Sets in my opinion are a must have for everyone! They just make you look so well put together and on top of your stuff. You can get the original inspiration Set Active or find dupes on amazon. Here are some of my favorite:
Set Active Dupe *Still looking for the prefect dupe, but this one is close
4. Lip Masks
Anyone else addicted to them ? I use them all day and have become a big part of my skincare routine. These are my two must have, and I know "That Girls" have in every TikTok Video.
LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask
5.Water Bottles.
Hydration is key in "That Girl " aesthetic! One of the major reasons I am here for this trend. I have always been someone who loves to carry water bottles around and thanks to the trend there are so many aesthetic affordable bottles out there right now.
These are my top five but there are many more items. let me know if I should do more blog post like this.
Yosemite For Non-Hikers.
As some of you know in the last couple of years my siblings and I have fallen in love with Yosemite. 2020 gave us the opportunity to explore it more and this year 2021 we decided to invest in .. pass to visit any time and any national park and we have definitely used it. With my brother moving across the country to Spain we decide to do a family trip and bring our parents with us. My mom is not a hiker she can walk on the treadmill for hours, but add some inclined and she is done. So we plan this Yosemite hiking tripe tailored for non hikers and It was very refreshing and just what we all needed. If your a first timer going to Yosemite or just not the best hiker then I have couple option you would truly enjoy.
1. Tunnel View
This is a view point you can drive up to and find parking. this view point is one of the best to see El Capitan, Half Dome and Bridalveil Fall. Unfortunately these last couple of times the smoke has been in the way but a great starting point to see the park from.
2. Taft Point
The actual hike we did is Taft Point its 2.2 round trip but leads to a beautiful view wide views of Yosemite Valley, Yosemite Falls and El Capitan. The main attraction of Taft Point is the giant fissures in the mile-high granite rock. This was the perfect hike for non hikers my parents were able to complete with no difficulty. there is a slight incline on the way back once seeing the view. Do be on the look out to make sure Glacier point road is open, they do close it certain time's of the year so check Yosemite website.
3. Yosemite Village & Lower Yosemite fall trails.
Perfect for non hikers you are surrounded by the valley and can stop to get food at the village and gift shop. Also close by is the lower Yosemite Fall trail that can take you to the view point of the falls for a flat small hike with an amazing view. This is also a great spot to stop for the bathroom and take a seat to enjoy a lunch or rest they have tables.
4. El Cap View point.
One of the best things to do before you leave or driving through the park is go see El cap. El Capitan Meadow provides a view straight up and there usually is a lot of parking on the side. Located along one-way Northside Drive, it is best to stop here on your way out of Yosemite Valley. You can look up Yosemite Valley from alongside the Merced River at Valley View. This a great spot to take in the amazing view and honestly no hiking involved.
My Top Favorite Peloton Rides!
30 min Hamilton Ride with Robin Arzon: This is one of my all time favorite go to rides. Even if you don't like musicals, I'm pretty sure you will enjoy this one. If you're a fan of the musical Hamilton you can also take the original Hamilton rides buried all the way in the archives. Called 30 min Broadway ride with Robin and it's also all Hamilton (extra songs that might be missing from this ride ) it Premiered back in 2016.
Any Emo Pop Ride: Kendall started the Emo Pop rides and I love them all so far but, my favorite is actually not from Kendall its from Bradley Rose its 20 minutes Pop Punk ride, I personally just love the music he selected and where it was placed during the ride.
Cody's 30 min Britney Spears Ride: This ride is just Iconic ! If you love Britney and Cody its a no brainer. Definitely one I go back to when I need motivation. It's also a favorite amongst the community.
Robin 30 min Greatest Showman Ride: If you love the movie this ride is everything and more. It's an older ride but definitely worth it for all the feels. I personally love to do this ride during the holidays before or after watching the movie.
Ally Love 30 min Post Malone ride: Peloton Has so many good artist rides but this Post Malone ride is one of my all time favorites. From the music selection (all of his top hits from the start to now) to learning so much about the artist. It's definitely a class that pushes you to reach those goals.
There you go my top five favorite rides that I personally go back to. Because one I love music. Second the energy and third the intensity and motivation I get to push myself. My goal is to try and do a post like this every month, so in case you need a suggestion on what ride to take I'll have a list for you.

Hack to Save $ on Nespresso Pods
I have a money saving trip for all of us Nespresso coffee lovers. On top of that it helps us save planet. As we all know most of the time coffee pods end up in land fills, even when we try to recycle. Then there is the cost of the pods themselves and those starts adding up. (We all know those pods go by fast!)
Here is where my tip comes in handy! I found The Coffee Seal on Amazon. They sell Aluminum Foils Lids that you can use to refill Nespresso pods. So now you can re-use them with your own coffee blende at home. It's super easy and it helps save money and the planet. According to the brand foils are made from environmentally friendly, safe, non-toxic, food-grade, BPA-free material and produce an excellent cup of coffee. These lids are truly high quality and easy to use.
Honestly if you love your Nespresso coffee, you definitely needed these. On top of saving money and the planet, your able to make your own blend the way you like it. I love reusing my pods, and the money you save let me splurge on other items for my little coffee corner at home.
Down below you will see how easy it is to refile the pods, but I also have a video on Tiktok. I want to thank The Coffee Seal, for gifting me this set of seals so I could do the video and blog post. All opinions are my own and I was already buying the product even before I reached out to the brand.
