Santa Barbara Escape.

I spent last weekend in beautiful Santa Barbara celebrating a good friend’s bachelorette party.  We rented a house in the hills overlooking the ocean and truly had a serene weekend.  The weather was absolutely perfect and we soaked up the sun.

Two of the girls rented a convertible and we were cracking up at our convertible hair.  That’s the way to go when you are driving along the coast!

We rented paddle boards from here!  We paddled out in the ocean and came across these adorable seals!

We went to tea/champagne at the Four Seasons Saturday afternoon.  The views were gorgeous.

Everyone got their own pot of tea and a glass of champagne.  We were well stocked on the liquids.

Some delectable desserts.

We spent an afternoon cruising around the Funk Zone which was a very hip, small district of restaurants/breweries/wineries.

Even the bathrooms had awesome art haha.

Santa Barbara was a wonderful place for a bachelorette weekend!

To Be Thankful.

With tomorrow being Thanksgiving, we were reminded of the countless things we are thankful for. Our family, friends, health- okay, enough of that crap let’s get to the real things we couldn’t live without.

(Yup, Beer Goggles! You know, when you have a glass or bottle of wine and decide that everything you see in the department store is something you just can’t live without. The next morning you wake up screaming “why did I buy another purple tutu?!” You wouldn’t have bought it sober and that would have been a damn shame, so thank you Beer Goggles, we are grateful for you)

(When Brittany and I were figuring out the details of this post, we originally meant Unexpected Cuties as in hot men we walk by from time to time. But you know what? I can live without a random cute boy siting, but how can I live without this face?! So cute! I could scream. I am. I am screaming right now. SO F@#*ING CUTE! AHHHH! I WANT TO EAT YOUR CUTE LITTLE FACE OFF!!!)

(There is nothing like a morning cup of coffee. Wait, there is nothing like a morning cup of coffee with a heart drawn in the foam. No, that isn’t right. There is nothing like a morning cup of coffee with a heart drawn in the foam handed to you by a super cute barista in a trendy coffee truck. We occasionally treat ourselves to a latte from Reveille Coffee on Pacific St in San Francisco. There is no joke here, their coffee really is made from unicorn tears or something, it is unreal how good it is. Sometimes our morning coffee ends in tears if one of us gets a heart in the foam and the other gets a leaf. A leaf. Who the F@#* wants a leaf?!)

(The Blow Dry Bar is the newest craze in hair beauty since the spiral perm. The best part is that they serve you champagne while you and your friends get your hair blown out. You always imagine leaving the bar looking like the model above. But after a few cocktails, you start looking like…

Hey, you can’t win ’em all!)

(Thank God I decided to put on tights before I walked out the door! I really dodged one major slutbaggy bullet there. I didn’t realize that my dress was the same length as my coat and if I didn’t have these tights on… Well, I would have been walking the streets of San Francisco looking like a flasher on my lunch  break)

We joke around a lot but we are honestly very thankful for our family, friends, health, and countless other things. While there are others who are less fortunate than us, we truly do know how lucky we are to live the lives that we do and wouldn’t trade places with anyone in the world. We hope you feel the exact same! Now, grab a trick fork and start grabbing the leftover stuffing from your brother’s plate when he isn’t looking- it’s THANKSGIVING afterall!
