Embracing the Camera: Sunny SoCal

Today's Embrace the Camera is from our sunshine-y trip to San Diego earlier this month. What fun!

We made our way to La Jolla early one morning and soaked up the warm February sun... there's nothing not to love about SoCal. We even picked out our future vacation home while we were there!

Killing two birds with one stone, people.

Embracing the camera,

With Valentine's Day just right around the corner, it is hard to ignore the many cutesy crafts and yummy treats making their way around the web.

Valentine's Day always seemed so pointless to me while I was growing up. But it's way more fun when you're married!

I'm already made a sweet little gift for my Valentine, but am looking forward to whipping up a few yummy treats for him too!

Happy day-o-love!

SoCal

Matt and I are enjoying a be-YOND beautiful long weekend in San Diego... I have been here once before and always knew it was one of my favorite cities but now Matt is sold on it too. I see many trips in our future!


We were feeling rather tourist-y when we first arrived and hailed a bike taxi to take us to the harbor for sunset! It was a BLAST and it didn't hurt that there were awesome 90's tunes blaring from the speakers...

We got to the harbor just in time!

...to witness the beauty of the Pacific sunset. Nothing like it!

We woke up bright and early the next morning (very early... still on Central time over here) and headed to La Jolla but made a detour to the top of Mount Soledad... it was spectacular.

We hit the beach in La Jolla next and watched the tide come in... there is nothing quite like the rocky coast of the Pacific. 

Fish tacos, a must.

And the beach at Coronado did not disappoint.

Today, we are heading to Los Angeles to see the sites. Great trip so far! 


There is nothing better than traveling with my love.

Trash to Treasure

Last weekend, I got a hold of this cabinet that's been sitting in our half bath for the past 4 years... it was almost tossed out by a good friend during a move, but Matt (being the broke bachelor that he was at the time) decided to save it.

I'm glad he did! She's been screaming at me to lighten her up for ages, and I finally obliged.

I absolutely love the antique, rubbed brass handles on the white drawers. LOVE! Matt likes it too... I convinced him that the white is much more appropriate in our "UGA" themed bathroom. :)

New Treasures

Matt and I worked on a few more items for the shop recently... I say this about every yellow window I ever refinish but... it's my favorite ever!
