Mt. Laguna and a day with no agenda

This weekend decided to let Saturday simply take its course instead of letting it be ruled by to-dos or arbitrary weekend goals (I have a hard time slowing down, so even my weekend adventures end up driven by some kind of metric I impose on myself). I wandered up to Mt. Laguna, a place I…

I know, I know. Matching is technically a fashion sin, but when my sweet boyfriend surprised me with the S’well bottle I have been drooling over for months I had no choice. Here’s What I Love About This Surprise S’well bottles are obviously amazing, we all know that. Keeping cold things cold and hot things hot…
