Can You Tell That I’m Smizing?

On February 18, 2016 By JordanIn Travel, YogaLeave a comment

If you're not a Tyra Banks fan I will explain that "smizing" is smiling with your eyes. This afternoon I went for my wedding hair and makeup trial and thought I would share with you all a sneak peak of my eye makeup: So now I'm all done-up with no where to go... Well that's not …

What a Trip

On September 26, 2013 By JordanIn About, Israel, San Francisco, TravelLeave a comment

Yup, it's been a while and that's because I have been very busy traveling. First I spent an overnight in the Golan Heights, hiking and exploring the sights with my internship program. It was nice to spend a short time with everyone on the program and it was even nicer to be hiking. It made …

That Something Special

On September 14, 2013 By JordanIn About, Internship, Israel, Nightlife, TravelLeave a comment

This past weekend was the holiest of Jewish holidays, Yom Kippur, the day of atonement. It is the tradition to fast for 24 hours, spend some time in services praying and reflect on your transgressions over the past year. Here in Israel the entire country shuts down, no stores are open and no one is …

Checking In

On September 8, 2013September 8, 2013 By JordanIn About, Israel, TravelLeave a comment

Sometimes I forget that I'm no longer in America. Tel Aviv has the buzz of New York, the accessibility of San Francisco and the coast of LA (but better of course), and I feel as comfortable as I would be in my home country. But then there are those moments, those still frames that ooze …

A Typical Day

On September 1, 2013 By JordanIn About, Exercise, HebrewLeave a comment

It has been almost two weeks since my relocation to Israel and no two days have been alike. From the moment we landed we have been on the go, finding a new place, moving and settling in, and only just now is some semblance of normal finding its way into the everyday. I started the …

Two days of food

On August 31, 2013 By JordanIn Food, IsraelLeave a comment

I am not sure how many of you have been to Israel or how many of you have had the chance to enjoy fantastic Middle Eastern food, but I am in heaven here! The fresh produce, Israeli dips and bountiful spices keep my taste buds satisfied morning, noon and night. Here are are some of …

Orientation By The Sea

On August 27, 2013 By JordanIn InternshipLeave a comment

Today was really the start of it all. While Dave is busy learning how to be a doctor I wanted to make sure I wasn't struggling on my own to find a job, so I signed up for an Israel sponsored internship program, Israel Way. The program provides hebrew classes, cultural experiences and 5 months …

IKEA, twice in 24 hours? Yup!

On August 26, 2013 By JordanIn IsraelLeave a comment

Who doesn't love a good IKEA trip? A chance to get creative with decor and exercise your patience as you build less-than reliable furniture. Yes, there is an IKEA here in Tel Aviv and yes, I frequented this staple of young adult life twice in a matter of 24 hours. We rented a car and …

Exploration

On August 22, 2013 By JordanIn Family, Food, Israel, Travel2 Comments

Today was filled with plenty of sun, lots of walking, and most importantly, less stress. We fell in love with an apartment and will sign the lease tomorrow, so with the weight of finding our new home released from our shoulders we decided to tour the city. Here are some pics from the day:   …
