Weekend Recap: Desert Relaxation













Hi friends! Sorry I have been MIA for the past week. I went to visit my parents in Arizona for a much needed long weekend. It was so nice to just stay in pajamas, hang with my family, play with the pups, and just r-e-l-a-x. 

Highlights from the weekend were: 
1. Major family time- With a pretty aggressive travel schedule beginning for work, I was so thrilled to unplug and spend time with my parents and grandparents. Sitting around the heat lamps at night, going out to delicious meals, and just laying in bed together was pure bliss. Oh yeah, I even gave my mom a Poshmark tutorial and got her first few listings up, I think she's officially addicted.

2. Memory Lane- Going through childhood arts & crafts, old photos, and toys was so fun. I'm so grateful to have parents who have held onto such great memories for so long! They even had a bag full of greeting cards from the time I was born, to the time I was bat-mitzvah'ed--13 years of cards?! Yup. I can't wait to show my children these things, and do the same for them. 

3. Shopping- Some of you may have seen my tweets, but I scored some MAJOR bargains while in Arizona. About ten pairs of shoes, two winter coats, and a slew of other goodies all for about $200-#winning.

I ended my trip by driving my old SUV back up to San Francisco. Yes, 12 hours, 760 miles, and a whole lot of music. It wasn't the most enjoyable of days, but I am glad to be back home safely and with Tula....for now. Heading to Seattle Thursday! NBD. ;-)

Driving in Style: Chevy Spark



Hi friends! Today I have a little bit of a different type of post! If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you may have seen the awesome folks over at General Motors lent me the new Chevy Spark for the week! And it wasn't just any Chevy Spark- the Jalapeno Green Chevy Spark- how perfect right?! My love of color definitely goes beyond my wardrobe- one of my first cars was actually bright yellow, so driving this around made me oh-so-happy.

There was so much to love besides the color of this car, the compact size made it easy to maneuver, fully equipped with On Star (used to make some calls while stuck in traffic), color touch screen with MyLink radio & USB port, and one of my favorites- seat warmers (I know, I know- most cars have this but none that I have ever owned). Last week when I happened to have the Spark, it was pouring rain and I felt nothing but safe driving around. 

Here are a few more pictures of my week with my nugget (my friends and I had many nicknames for it-it was just too cute).


I never realized how much neon green I owned until I started driving the Spark! 

My Rebecca Minkoff Tote was a perfect match!

I naturally offered to drive my Poshmark ladies to lunch- plenty of space for all four of us!




All in all I was sad to say goodbye to the Spark! Thank you again to the whole General Motors team for letting me cruise around in style all week long!
