After going round and round, up and down the 8-block radius that’s called the Old Sacramento, we got hungry and started Googling restaurants we would agree on (we disagree a lot). “Farm-to-table” is the key ingredient in our restaurant searches and we found this highly rated gem, a farm to table restaurant Ten22. Their back […]

Trip to Old Sacramento
Some time ago we took a ride down to Sacramento which is just about 45 minutes from where we live. Our trip to Sacramento was inspired by the old western movies because I always wanted to visit some old “wild wild west” type of town. We saw some when in New Mexico, but didn’t have […]
My Healthy Guide to San Francisco
I’ve lived in San Francisco since August 2015 and so far, I’ve discovered so many great restaurants, cafes, stores and places to visit and wanted to put all my experiences in one handy place instead of them being sprinkled around my Instagram feed. So this is my wellness guide to some of my favorite places […]
Roadtrip Pt. 3 : Big Sur & Bixby Bridge
Our final destination on our trip was the breathtaking Big Sur. I had seen so many gorgeous pictures of the Bixby Bridge and Highway 1 that I just had to get there in person to witness it. It was a foggy day so the hills looked even more magical. I was nervous to drive these […]
Roadtrip Pt. 2 : Carmel-by-the-Sea and 17-Mile Scenic Drive
On our second day of the road trip we got up early, luckily no headache from wine, got some tea and coconut milk mochas to go and headed down south towards Big Sur. We made it to Santa Cruz in little over 2 hours (thank goodness for carpool lanes!), but were there actually so early […]
Roadtrip Pt. 1 Napa Valley
My sister came to visit from Finland a couple of weeks ago and wanted to visit Napa, Santa Cruz and drive along the Highway 1. So we did all that in just two days. First stop was Napa Valley. We arrived pretty late and since most wineries close between 4-5pm we only got to visit […]
WE’RE PLAYING YOUR SONG, NASHVILLE
I had a short but lovely visit to Nashville, Tennessee last month when I got the opportunity to work at a conference there. I really enjoyed the laid back vibe, handsome cowboys, the constant live country music coming out of the bars and restaurants from early morning on and best of all, the beautiful Southern […]
Day trip to Bodega Bay
Just a little over an hour away north of San Francisco, in the beautiful rural coast of Sonoma County, is a little town called Bodega Bay. We came here to have lunch for my mother-in-law’s birthday, and saw seals chilling in the sun right by the window of the restaurant. On the drive up […]
