It's COLD! Yes, I live in northern California so winter coats made to combat the fierce below freezing temperatures of the east coast are not necessary. However, I have acclimated to the mild temperatures here and any day below 50 degrees feels like I am back in New Jersey in the depths of January. So …

That Time I Voluntarily Swam in the Bay
This weekend was full of adventures starting with some long walks around the city and then, yup, a swim in the bay! It might be December, but that did not stop me from suiting up in a wet suit, strapping on two swim caps and loading up on body glide. I have been working hard …
The time there was no internet
Sometimes, when you are trapped in a doctor's office with no internet access on your phone, no magazines and no educational pamphlets you take photos of yourself:

To the Top
I have said it a million times, but there is something magical about the Bay Area. Yesterday it was a perfect day for a hike. Yes, it is November when most of the country starts to experience frost, snow flurries and winter coats. Well here it was cool but no down jacket required. With blue …

Even here in sunny California the winter cold has set in. Granted snow is not in the forecast where I live in San Francisco, but it still gets quite chilly. Turning the heat on is the obvious choice for keeping warm in these weather conditions, however as a girl on a budget, the heat is …
Sandy, Sandy, why, oh Sandy?
Yes, lyrics from Grease and as everyone knows, words applicable to the superstorm and it's destructive path. I might live in California but my family and home are in the eye of the storm in central New Jersey. I checked in every few hours yesterday and for a while things were calm, then the wind …
