Renewal x 2014 Photo Diary

It's been way too long since I last updated this!  Get ready for a photo spam of snapshots of what I've been up to in the past year.  Spoiler alert: lots of food, outfit photos, and Coco.

My hands down favorite sandwich ever- Mendocino Farms' Banh Mi Sandwich with curried cous cous.  The best!
My first time wearing the infamous Birkenstocks, when I found out they're quite possibly THE most comfortable shoes in the world.

The beginning of many tsum tsum purchases and the downward spiral
Can't even begin to say how much I absolutely love Jo Malone's Wild Bluebell scent.  Thanks to all my ladies on Instagram who helped me narrow down my decisions!

I've been on a recent kick of Curry House for the past few months for some inexplicable reason- one of numerous visits.
Always loving Sidecar Doughnuts' monthly flavors.  Pictured are Fig & Goat Cheese, Midsummer's Dream, and Huckleberry with Stumptown coffee.

The first colored handbag I have ever owned and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The red/orange on the PS1 is absolutely stunning!
Late night spicy ramen with of course, a runny egg.
Happiest 3 years with bf :)
It's a tsum tsum bouquet!

Of course a tsum tsum pyramid is necessary.  

And now a brief intro to my travel diaries.  The family, boyfriend, and I went on vacation to a cruise starting from Vancouver and sailing back down to the port of Los Angeles and passing through Seattle and Astoria.  We took the Norwegian Cruise Line which was spectacular in all aspects- cleanliness, service, food, and entertainment.  I would totally do it all again!
Selfie in front of the limo we took, that was actually cheaper than taking a taxi to the Vancouver port.  Go figure!
Good coffee and pastries- I'd expect no less from Seattle!
Port of Astoria

And now back to the reality that is in Orange County
My homemade sea urchin (uni) bowls packed with tons of fresh sweet uni, green onion, nori, and seaweed

Shabu in a paper pot with a metal plate at the bottom to conduct heat.  Interesting concept! And super spicy and delicious broth to boot. 
Homemade crostini- French baguette, prosciutto, fig, Camembert cheese, and mixed greens. PERFECT combination!

Leaving you all with a closeup of A La Minute's olive oil vanilla bean ice cream with a waffle cone triangle.  One of my new favorites! Hope you all didn't get too sick of all the food posts- eating is one of my favorite pastimes, especially if it's cute ;)
