Sunday Best: July 28, 2019

July 28, 2019

A quick and dirty update because something is usually better than nothing (though not always). Tarantino. The cinematic mastermind's penultimate film finally came out this weekend, and I snagged tickets to the 70mm screening of "Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood" at Alamo Drafthouse up in the city. I'd been following early reviews all last week (Mick LaSalle's and A.O. Scott's were two well-written favorites), and did some light background reading courtesy of Michael Hainey's conversation with Tarantino, Pitt, and DiCaprio i[...]

These are a few of my favorite new products I've discovered over the last little while, and they also make great gifts for the holiday season! Although, I admit, they might be a little bit biased in terms of being mainly girly things haha. But fear not, I have a DIY project coming up soon that makes a great gift ferda boys. As always, I only write about things I actually personally own or have gotten for others! All prices are in USD. Wunder Under Hi-Rise Pant - Tech Mesh (Lululemon, $118) Theeeeeese.

All apologies—it's been a crazy busy month! Hence, why I haven't updated as frequently as I used to. I'm looking forward to some upcoming adventures, such as an overnight motorcycle trip to Morro Bay and a few days in the city next week for interviews/networking events, but here are a few updates on what I've been up to recently! Bay to Breakers. Last weekend we ran the 105th iteration of the world's oldest consecutively run footrace. I did a bit of costume research beforehand—debating everything from inflatable T-Re[...]

So, I haven't thought much of spin in the last several years—aside from that one episode of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt where they parody SoulCycle (See photo above. Season 1, Episode 11: Kimmy Rides a Bike. Hilarious. Highly recommended.). I did a bit of spinning in high school, but in all honesty, it's been about ten years since I've gotten back "in the saddle." Last week, I found out that a new CycleBar location had recently opened up in San Jose midway between Campbell and Cupertino. To celebrate their grand open[...]

May Update: New Music, Skincare & Self-Care.

May 12, 2017

It's been awhile since my last post, so I wanted to do a little monthly update to keep things fresh! I've been crazy busy trying to juggle everything (which I'll touch on shortly), but a lot has happened in the last little while that I wanted to write about. HOWSLA I came across this new compilation album from OWSLA while "training" for the Bay to Breakers 12K footrace on May 21st. I say "training" because B2B is technically more of a moving block party than a real run haha, but I just wanted an excuse to get into the[...]
