Photography Series: Toketee Falls
When we first planned our Oregon trip, I knew that I wanted to visit Toketee Falls. I saw a lot of amazing photos and I couldn't help but want one for myself. When I was researching Toketee Falls and how to get to the bottom, I couldn't find that much information on it. I figured that I must not be the only person so I thought I would start a Photography Series on how I
Free Wine Tasting (Part 2) : Umpqua Valley, Oregon
In Part 2 of our Alaska Airlines Free Wine Tasting series, we are going to explore Umpqua Valley, Oregon. As a quick reminder, the way to get the free wine tasting is if you’ve flown on Alaska Airlines from one of the 30 participating airports and will visit one of the listed wineries within a certain amount of days. You can find more detailed information on Part 1 of the series here. Umpqua Valley is not
Harriman Springs Resort and Marina
Harriman Springs Resort and Marina is an incredible place to stay if you are looking for accommodations around Crater Lake. Granted, it's an hour away from the park, but the resort ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Crater Lake only has two hotels: Crater Lake Lodge and Mazama Village Campground & Cabins. I've heard that these two places get booked out months in advance and it was true for us. Both
Crater Lake National Park One-Day Itinerary
I know a one-day itinerary seems very short for Crater Lake National Park, but it's totally possible. When you're on a short vacation, you want to fit in as much as possible, right? Luckily, I've done all the leg work for you. We actually planned to go in the day before, but by the time we got up and drove to the park, it was already 2:30 p.m. We also waited another hour because there
Free Wine Tasting (Part 1) : Rogue Valley, Oregon
I love wine. I can’t tell you how much money I’ve spent on wine because I’ll probably start getting depressed. Just kidding. Even though I’m no expert in wine, it’s something I’ve taken a liking to in the past couple of years. I hate going to a restaurant and not being able to pick a wine bottle that I know I would like. So, for the past couple of years, I’ve decided to slowly educate
The Ultimate Christian Louboutin Outlet Shopping Guide
Some of you might have heard that a Christian Louboutin Outlet has just opened up a store here stateside. Well, you heard right! This is the very first Christian Louboutin Outlet in the United States and it is located at the Desert Hills Premium Outlets in Cabazon, California. It's a short drive from Palm Springs or about an hour and a half drive from Los Angeles with no traffic. There is plenty of shopping to
Encore Hotel: Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts
I’m excited today to share my experience using the Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts Program for the Encore Hotel in Las Vegas. If you happen to have read my previous blog post, you would know that we stayed at the Venetian Hotel on Friday and Saturday nights. We actually weren’t planning on staying Sunday night except our flight got canceled so we opted to fly out the next day for a nice $200 flight credit
Venetian Hotel: Essential Workers Offer
The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas currently has a special offer for essential workers where they are giving away a complimentary night with a minimum 2-night stay. In other words, buy one night and get one free. There are actually two essential workers in my immediate group of friends and they thought it would be nice to do a small relaxing Vegas trip. They booked for Friday night and ended up getting Saturday night for
New Restaurant Opening ‘Fingers Crossed’
This past Thursday, I was lucky enough to be invited to a Friends & Family event for a new pop-up restaurant in Hollywood called Fingers Crossed. It has taken over the old Luchini Pizza space and is now a beautiful open-air garden-esque sit-down Italian pizza and pasta restaurant led by well-known L.A. chef Evan Funke. This will be Funke’s second restaurant after his first success, Felix Trattoria, located on Abbot Kinney Blvd. in Venice. Both
