Top Lunch Spots in OC
There’s lots of great places to shop and explore in Orange County, and these are some of my favorite spots I’ve discovered over the past five years. I love to grab lunch at some place with something to do as well, like going to the beach, shopping, or visiting a book store.
Favorite Places to Thrift in OC
Like Carrie Bradshaw once said, sometimes you need an $8 dress to go with your $300 shoes….Except I can’t really relate….. Regardless, I love thrifting! I haven’t been to each and every thrift store in OC of course, but these are my favorites/where I have the most luck. There’s lots of little treasures to be found in OC used clothing stores!
Setting Goals + Staying on Track
Setting goals is an important part of my life. Goals are an intangible, non-intrusive way to structure your life and implement meaning into your existence. I like to set goals instead of lofty year long “resolutions” because I believe that growth and change is achieved through baby steps. And I believe it’s important to set attainable goals, in order to see yourself succeed.
Planning an International Trip
I’m no travel expert, and I definitely don’t claim to be, but I have had my fair share of journeys, mishaps, and travel disasters….So let my mistakes be your wisdom! Here are some tips on what to think about before planning out your next adventure.
Favorite Coffee Shops to Work at in OC
As a graphic designer, I lot of work to do from home. I sometimes struggle with focusing at home, so I thought I’d compile a list of some of my favorite coffee shops in OC. I haven't been to every locally owned coffee shop in Orange County, of course, but this is just a list based on my personal experience. I would like to state for the record, too that all these places make a mean latte!
