You have to tour Sicily the right way! From Paler

You have to tour Sicily the right way!

From Palermo’s chaos to the peaceful hills of Sicily, this retreat was everything I didn’t know I needed. 🧘🏾‍♀️✨ Yoga at sunrise, long al fresco dinners, exploring Cefalù, Agrigento & Taormina — and the rare gift of stillness. Travel, connection, and self-discovery all in one. 🇮🇹💫

Banff has been on my bucket list for years, but when I finally made it, it became so much more than a trip—it was a return to myself.

Staying at the “Castle in the Rockies,” I woke up to views that made me pause, breathe, and remember what restoration feels like. From the still blues of Lake Louise to the surreal beauty of Jasper’s icefields, each moment was a lesson in slowing down and letting nature teach me presence.

This isn’t just travel—it’s healing, perspective, and beauty wrapped in alpine air. Sometimes the most profound journeys aren’t about how far you go, but how deeply you connect.

Sometimes, life reminds us why second chances matter. My first attempt at dining at All Time in Los Feliz was less than ideal—but coming back with my dear friend Carla turned it into a memory I’ll cherish. From a refreshing lavender lemonade to a wagyu burger that more than lived up to the hype, every bite was a reminder that beauty often reveals itself when we stay open. ✨🍔

As Carla and I celebrated her milestone and she shared her vision for her new home after the Altadena fires, I was reminded that food is never just food. It’s connection, resilience, love, and the joy of keeping promises we make to one another. 🖤

Gratitude, friendship, and a meal worth savoring—that’s the recipe for a life well-lived.

Our night at DAMA DTLA was pure magic! From the crispy squash flowers to the savory empanadas, show-stopping prawns, and an unforgettable oxtail tostada — every bite was a celebration of Latin flavors. Even better? Having a friend that you can travel with, celebrate success with, and enjoy a good dinner with – cultivating that friendship is truly priceless.

Dinner at The French Laundry. Table for one. Culinary Excellence.

My table at The French Laundry on this beautiful evening was a culinary dream come true. Achieving such a long-held dream felt like the culmination of years of desire. As I drove from Alila Napa Valley to Yountville, I felt such a profound sense of accomplishment and joy.

Walking over to the brilliantly beautiful blue door, I felt the manifestation of what was once impossible in my mind, become reality.

Checking in, I was ushered to my table. The crisp white linen was radiant. The fresh flowers smelled divine. My napkin, in three folds, held the infamous French clothing pen. I took a deep breath as I basked in the moment before me, ready for what was to come.

The evening opened with a glass of Krug Grande Cuvee 167 eme Edition NV Brut Champagne.

Check out the rest on my blog! Link in bio.

Have you eaten at The Farmer & The Seahorse in San Diego, CA?

Morning views + flavors to match. From a salted maple latte to the best lobster roll I’ve had outside Boston, breakfast at The Farmer and The Seahorse was the perfect start before a day of kayaking.
