Farewell Florida

February 24, 2020 by Hillary Leave a Comment

Goodness, it’s been 3 months since I’ve published a new blog post. While I’ve shared quite a lot of my recent life changes on Instagram, I miss writing here. I’m constantly thinking about the if, when, and how I’d like to revive this ol’ blog (ideally, have it be more than just life catch-ups once a quarter), but for now… I have just that plus a proper farewell to our time in Florida.


January 2020 was officially the longest month, ever.

In a nutshell: we moved across the country (again!).

January 1 marked our first day of our cross-country roadtrip from Tampa, Florida to Seattle, Washington – talk about starting the new year with adventure!

  • 4,240 miles
  • 15 days of travel ⁣⁣
  • 11 states ⁣⁣

We drove through the rainy swamps of Louisiana, snowy mountains of Colorado, desolate deserts of Arizona, and nostalgic Redwood forests of Northern California. We visited family and friends, ate our way through Austin (and Chico), and left no croissant or avocado toast behind.

Since landing in the Emerald City, we’ve spent the past several weeks hopping from one AirBNB to the next as we search like mad to find a home. I’ll be honest, the travel aspect of getting here was fun (we definitely make the most of long road trips), but our stress has continued to increase with each day that passes of house hunting in Seattle’s “cut-throat” (rental) market.

We had wanted to scope out the city and surrounding areas first before settling on a house (that was the plan), but the hunt has proven to be a lot more difficult and competitive than we thought. We’ve basically been “traveling” for two months straight, living out of our suitcases, moving from one AirBNB to the next — it’s been quite the nomadic lifestyle to say the least. I know that with patience and persistence the right place will come our way, but I’m ready to put down roots and make a temporary rental house feel like home.

Despite the overwhelming feeling of being unsettled, it sure feels good to be back on the west coast. Every day since we’ve been here, we’ve made time to get outside in nature and explore. Most afternoons have been spent exploring a new trail in one of the nearby parks. And we haven’t let the rain stop us. The three of us are usually wet, covered in a mud, and a little out of breath (it’s been a bit since we’ve enjoyed a regular exercise routine), but it brings us so much joy to be able to enjoy the outdoors with ease (no more ‘gators and humidity!).

But before I jump into life in the PNW at full speed, I felt inclined to bid a final farewell to our time in Florida.

February 1, 2018, I flew to Florida with a one-way ticket in hand. I was jumping off a big cliff into the unknown as I didn’t know how long I’d call Florida home. To be frank, Florida never felt like home. But, I can now say I was a Florida resident for 23 months of my life, exactly 23 months to the day because you know I was counting (February 1, 2018 – January 1, 2020).

When I think about my time in Florida, it still feels really challenging (maybe someday, in hindsight, I’ll have a different view). My first out-of-state/cross-country (military) move, it was really hard being 3,000+ miles from family and friends. It was lonely. I didn’t connect with the culture, and I felt like a fish out of water in my new environment from the beginning to the end. There were months when my anxiety was unbearable, and I longed for my community and support circle that I had in and around Chico. I navigated unemployed life and then a un-fulfilling job in Human Resources before I took it upon myself to create my own job, doing behind the scenes work for wellness brands and bloggers. Florida is also where I began my business with Beautycounter. My self-created work is one of the things that brought me the most joy and satisfaction in a chapter of trials, tribulations, and transitions.

When I think about our life in Florida, I have a laundry list of things I will not miss. But through the rocky moments (days and weeks), it was a chapter of my life that I am grateful to have experienced. What those 23 months taught me most was a lot about what I do not like, what I do not want… allowing what is really important to me to float to the surface.

Florida is…

Where Nick and I lived together for the first time

Where I made a new best friend… Koba! 🐾

Where I navigated a season (6ish months) of unemployment

Where I endured a ridiculous commute for an unbearable job

Where I worked a non-wellness related job (above) that reinforced my commitment to my work being aligned with wellbeing in some form

Where I quit said dead-end job to pursue entrepreneurship as a Virtual Assistant

Where I built the humble beginnings of a Beautycounter business (one month in after moving)

Where we prepared for our first hurricane… that never hit

Where we decorated our first Christmas tree as a couple and spent Christmas at the beach

Where we ran an organized 8k run in the middle of July and almost melted

Where I rang in my 29th and 30th birthdays

Where we cooked our first Thanksgiving meal, just the two of us

Where we road tripped up through Georgia and camped in the countryside of Tennessee for a dear friend’s wedding

Where we killed our fair share of gigantic cockroaches and palm-sized spiders

…and much more!

Two years in Tampa, a challenging chapter, but one I’m grateful I said yes to. And now… I’m opening a new one, in the opposite corner of the country. I have a feeling life in the PNW is going to feel a whole lot different, and I’m here for it.

Farewell, Florida… to another new beginning!

Have you ever made a big move?

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

Friday Favorites // May 2019

May 24, 2019 by Hillary Leave a Comment

Hi & happy Memorial Day Weekend!

It’s been a while since I just sat down and wrote, on my own blog. With my new Virtual Assistant work, I’ve been spending a lot of time writing and doing work behind the scenes for other blogs (which I love!), but I haven’t given my own space on the Internet much attention at all.

It happened to be be a bit of a slow, relaxing Friday morning over here, so I used that time to make an appearance here. Well, we did wake up early to take Koba to the vet (that precious pup is more high maintenance than her mom!), but otherwise, we don’t have much planned for the long holiday weekend ahead.

Friday Favorites // May 2019

Speaking of weekending, last weekend we made the trek up to East Tennessee (Knoxville area) for my friend’s wedding weekend. We camped at the venue (her in-law’s beautiful 27-acre piece of property) and had an absolutely amazing time. The long and straight 10+ hour drive up Interstate 75 each way was well worth it.

We spent the weekend disconnected from all schedules and screens, enjoying much-needed time in nature. Mosquito bites aside, our first taste of the lush Tennessee countryside was a really good one!

bonfires & beersbee / camping & canoeing / full moons & fireflies / fresh margaritas & fire pit roasted chickens / turtles, toads, tents & (handmade) teepees / muddy dogs & marriage vows

Fitness

I feel like I’m in a bit of a fitness rut or plateau. Since ending my Orangetheory Fitness membership, I’ve resorted to home workouts, which can be totally effective and fun no doubt, but don’t get me as excited about exercise as say going to the gym. Honestly, what I’m enjoying most right now is walking with Koba; but, they have to be timed just so with the weather or else she’ll turn around after a few blocks. Running is rarely appealing these days, which I think, again, is mostly due to the summer climate in the Southeast. Funny, seeing as though my blog is Nutrition Nut on the Run and much of the content on here since 2009 has been about running and training. Things change!

For now, it’s home workouts and walks and a short run (or occasional workout at the base gym) here and there.

Lately, I’ve been getting lot of my workout inspiration from @madeline_moves – check her out!

Food

Now that it is officially hot and humid every.damn.day in Florida, I’ve been craving all the light, fresh foods. It’s also my goal to get back into the kitchen and get out of my cooking rut now that I’m working from home. I have a feeling these falafels and my mom’s tabouli recipe will make an appearance again this summer.

Other favorites: these gluten-free crackers, this green juice, this vegan pesto (ALWAYS in our freezer!).

Fashion & Beauty

Blue Light Blocking Glasses

I got this inexpensive pair of blue light blocking glasses (“influenced” by @katie_levans) from Amazon. Now that I’m working from home and am in front of screens (too) many hours of the day, I figured a cheap pair of kinda fun (kinda dorky) glasses wouldn’t hurt to help prevent digital eye strain.

NOBULL Runners

I have been wearing these sneakers non-stop since I got them for Christmas. Nick told me just recently that I need new shoes because I wear them so much. They are very comfy (perhaps a bit loose around my ankles), and they’ve been my go-to for walks, (infrequent) runs and workouts.

High Neck Sports Bras

I am so glad high-waisted pants and high-neck tops are in because they’re my jam. It’s honestly what I feel best in currently. I recently found a few high-neck sports bras that I love to pair with my high-waisted leggings: the Lululemon Energy Bra Neck Neck and this striped Athleta bra.

Ursa Major Go Easy Daily Shampoo

I’ve been using this shampoo for a few months now and I’ve been really happy with it. In recent years, I’ve struggled with having a happy, healthy scalp; but, this shampoo and doing my best to wash my hair less frequently has been helpful. Ursa Major is a clean brand that Beautycounter supports. Double win!

Beautycounter Glow Shimmer Oil

I didn’t think I would be into this product, as I’m not a glittery person, but my winter white legs adore it! I mix a few drops in my moisturizer and it gives my skin a subtle bronze boost (and hint of shimmer) it so desperately needs. You can use on your face and in your hair, too. No toxic self-tanners needed here!

>> Beautycounter Memorial Day Sale – To celebrate Memorial Day, Beautycounter is offering 2 FREE Countersun products (our reef-friendly 3oz. mineral sunscreen mist + 1 oz. mineral sunscreen lotion, $35 value) with any purchase of $125! The offer is good through Tuesday, May 28.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend/unofficial start to summer!

No Equipment Travel Workout

May 29, 2018 by Hillary 2 Comments

Hi! I hope you had a fun and relaxing Memorial Day Weekend. Our weekend was rather low-key as we anticipated #StormAlberto, which hasn’t been more than heavy rain for us. I’ll tell ya, Florida weather is something else. I have yet to see why it’s deemed The Sunshine State when there is constant rain and thunderstorms in the forecast. Take me back to that dry California summer heat, please.

Weather aside, I have a new workout for you today! Somewhere between chatting about the importance of rest days and sharing a glute workout, I mentioned posting my weekly workouts here on the blog again — for personal accountability, and to offer workout inspiration and ideas to you. The past couple of weeks have consisted mostly of quick at-home workouts. Between traveling and the increase in humidity, gym workouts and long runs have been more difficult to come by.

I came up with this quick workout while I was in California. We had some time in the afternoon before the wedding, so I did this basic bodyweight workout in my friend’s yard. It probably took all of 20 minutes, but it got the blood pumping. Sometimes, a short workout is better than none!

California Dreamin’

May 25, 2018 by Hillary Leave a Comment

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

While Nick and I are both ecstatic about the fact that he has four days off (woohoo!), there is a hefty storm in the forecast: Tropical Storm Alberto is our first official storm since moving to The South. It doesn’t look like it will be a typical sun-filled, bbq-ing Memorial Day weekend for us. Instead, I am going to be daydreaming of last weekend’s trip to California [read: My Healthy Travel Essentials]. Nick and I both agree that we wish we could relive that trip all over again, and we wouldn’t change a thing. I am sharing some footage from our trip because it’s a weekend I don’t want to forget.

My Healthy Travel Essentials

May 22, 2018 by Hillary Leave a Comment

Hi! I hope your week is off to a good start. I am settling back in to Florida Life after an uh-mazing long weekend in California — it was simply the BEST!

Seeing that I just got home from a trip and I am traveling back to California again in a few weeks (hallelujah!), I thought I’d share my healthy travel essentials. Flying from coast to coast is a bit of a trek, so I make sure to pack plenty of snacks to avoid the overpriced food inside the terminals. I will say, however, depending on which airports you’re traveling through, you can find healthier options these days. I’ve found local kombucha, Pur gum (mentioned below), coconut chips, and a variety of healthy snack bars and nuts to name a few.

Regardless, I’d rather be safe than sorry in case I’m stuck with a long layer and nothing but a Dunkin’ Donuts nearby, so I try to get as much of my own food through TSA as possible. These are the items I threw in my carry-on for last weekend’s travels…

My Healthy Travel Essentials

Vital Proteins Bone Broth Collagen // These packets are all too conveient for traveling of any sort. All you do is mix with water and voila — nourishing, protein-rich bone broth! The unflavored collagen stick packs are also a must if you like to add collagen to your coffee like I do!

Justin’s Nut Nutter Packets // These are not only great to have in your carry-on, but in your purse or glove compartment for emergency snack situations. Squeeze right into your mouth, or pair with a banana or instant oatmeal (which if you don’t have with you, can usually be found inside the terminal).

Herbal Tea // I’ll usually stick a couple of herbal tea bags in with my snacks. You can typically ask the flight attendant for a cup of hot water to which you can add your own tea. Tea can help relax you, sooth an upset stomach, and warm up your core (planes are unforgivably cold!).

Energy/Snack Bars // While this isn’t original, it is unquestionably practical. Bars are the ultimate travel snack as you don’t have to worry about them getting smashed. I choose bars with few ingredients and nutrient-dense (i.e. calories please!).

Four Sigmatic Adaptogen Coffee // I need to give this coffee a few more chances (there are several different options to try, too!), but I think has potential. Not only are the instant coffee packets extremely portable, but you don’t have to rely on cruddy coffee from who knows where. Again, just ask the flight attendant for a cup of hot water and mix in!

Pur Gum // Gum serves a couple different purposes when you’re traveling high in the sky: 1) freshen stale breath, and 2) pop your ears. I usually find these large bags Pur gum at TJMaxx or Homegoods.

Dark Chocolate // Can’t travel without it. If I don’t back a bar to nibble on, dark chocolate almonds are also very travel-friendly.

Hand Sanitizing Wipes // I purchased these travel-sized wipes at Sprouts, but I often having a full-sized pouch in my car. If that’s the case, I’ll put a few in a Ziploc bag and throw it into my carry-on. Because a) germs, and b) eating all those snacks can be messy.

My Almond Flour Banana Muffins with Coconut (and chocolate!) also travel well; they are subject to getting smashed, but they taste all the better that way. These come in handy for those early morning flights. Add a cup of collagen coffee, and you’ve got yourself a wholesome breakfast on the go.

California to Florida | Cross Country Road Trip

January 25, 2018 by Hillary 6 Comments

If you follow me over on Instagram, you may know that I went on a cross country road trip last month. It was a semi-spontaneous, planned at the last minute, can’t miss this, sort of a trip.

Now that I am back in Chico momentarily – blogging on the floor of my empty living room – I’m documenting the trip, if at the very least, to capture the highlights of this happy holiday adventure. In other words, it’s a compilation of photos snapped with my iPhone (since that’s as fancy as I got) to remember how I spent the final couple of weeks of 2017.

What. Why. When. Where.

What

A cross country road trip from Chico, California to Tampa, Florida.

3,203 miles. 7 days. 7 states.

Why

My boyfriend (who is in the Air Force) received orders that his new duty station would be in Tampa, Florida and he had to report on December 27th. Two days after Christmas!? Why, Air Force, why? We contemplated multiple travel plans in order to be with family for the holidays, but ultimately traveling through Christmas via his vehicle (in order to get his truck and dog to Florida) seemed to make the most logical sense.

I also contemplated, briefly, about staying in Chico to work, as my last official day was right around the corner; but, hey, when life presents such an opportunity to take a road trip across the country (even on Christmas), you do it!

When

In order to arrive in Tampa on Wednesday, December 27th, we decided to leave on December 20th giving us seven days on the road. I know it’s entirely feasible to drive across The U.S. in much less time, but 12+ hours of driving per day did not appeal to either of us.

So, we packed up his truck with his sweet puppy, a case of Sierra Nevada beer (which got stolen at some point), and a Blue Tooth speaker (since his car stereo was out of commission). Can you imagine driving said distance without music!?

Just days prior to embarking on our adventure, I asked my geography-guru of a mother to map out a route for us, and a wonderful job she did! Hallelujah for Google Maps too. Just saying. I don’t think it led us off course once during our journey.

Where

Day 1. Chico, CA to Barstow, CA | 483 miles

We opted to go down the central valley of California versus “over the through the woods” (a.k.a. the Sierra Nevadas) to avoid hitting any possible winter weather on Day 1. Driving down the middle of California certainly isn’t the prettiest drive, but we got some good mileage under our (seat)belts. Barstow is anything but a destination, but it did its job as a sleeping spot and gave us a direct shot into Arizona for the grandest destination on Day 2.

Day 2. Barstow, CA to Tusayan, AZ [Grand Canyon] | 450 miles

Nick and I were both silly excited about Day 2’s destination. I have been to Grand Canyon National Park once before, when I was in middle school, but it was Nick’s (and Koba’s!) first time. Tusayan (not to be confused with Tucsan) is a tiny tourist town a few miles from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. If you notice on the map, the canyon was a bit “off route”, but we both agreed that it was totally worth the extra miles.

We made it into Tusayan just as the sun was setting, so we rushed through the park entrance to be at an overlook point at sunset. We caught the tail end of it, as the sun was nearly down, but the sight of the Grand Canyon still took our breath away in the dim December evening light… and/or the freezing cold temperatures may have had something to do with that!

 

One of my favorite photos, albeit blurry.

I did my best to pack clothes for a variety of climates, but I didn’t realize just how cold most of our trip would be, especially in Arizona and New Mexico. There was a light dusting of snow and ice in Tusayan; the temperatures were single digits! Needless to say, ridiculous layering of undershirts, flannels, socks, hats, scarves, and gloves (none of which matched) ensued to avoid my unavoidable Raynauds. Holy brrr!

The only one of us that didn’t mind the frigid temps was our furry pup. She thrives in the cold and probably could have played outside all day. Koba had her photo taken with more than one foreign tourist. She has her own set of paparazzi!

Ambitiously, our plan was to begin Day 3 by watching the sun rise over the Grand Canyon. Basically we hightailed ourselves in every piece of warm clothing that we had packed back to the South Rim area again for morning views of the canyon.

 

Of course we yearned for more time to actually explore and hike, but we had to hit the road. Plus, we planned to stop in Flagstaff, Arizona for brunch. It was my second time to this university mountain town in northern Arizona, and I’m only craving more of it (with a trip to Sedona!?). The inviting downtown scene with outdoors-y shops has my name all over it.

We ate at MartAnne’s for brunch, a quirky spot with funky decor and southwest fare. The blueberry banana buckwheat pancakes hit the spot!

Day 3. Tusayan, AZ to Santa Fe, NM | 729 miles total for Days 3 & 4 (forget to record mileage on Day 4)

Day 3 took us into New Mexico. Originally we had planned to stop in Albuquerque, but once my aunt and uncle said that Santa Fe was one of their favorite cities (and they travel a lot!), we altered our route. Again, it was a little bit “out of the way”, but worth it. Santa Fe turned out to be one of our favorite stops of the entire trip.

We got into town on Friday night. We had high hopes of eating dinner at the “best restaurant in the country” according to my uncle, Cafe Pasqual, but we couldn’t get a reservation until 9:30pm, so we opted for his second choice: The Shed.

A bustlin’ place on a Friday night, located in an old adobe build in the heart of downtown Sante Fe. I had the strongest margarita of my life, and the veggie tamales knocked my socks off. The Shed gets five stars from us for both food and atmosphere.

We were in no rush to get to our next destination in West Texas, so we had a leisurely Saturday morning exploring downtown Santa Fe. We filled our thermoses with hot coffee at the tiniest coffee shop I’ve ever seen, Holy Spirit Espresso, and then meandered the streets, Koba entail (pun intended). Turns out, Santa Fe is extremely dog friendly, so Koba was welcomed most everywhere we went. Several of the shops had water bowls, treats, and even invited her inside. Except for the cathedral. We took turns going inside. And what a magical experience! Seeing that is was two days before Christmas, the choir was singing Christmas carols and it was decorated elegantly. Despite not being religious, I can appreciate the splendor of such establishments. It reminded me of visiting Notre Dame in Paris, flooding me with immense feelings of peace and gratitude.

The plaza (pictured above) where we had dinner the night before was now lined with artists selling beautiful sterling silver and turquoise jewelry, among other handmade trinkets. All of the artists (who said that they are out there every day!), were incredibly friendly. I couldn’t pass up purchasing a couple of Christmas gifts.

Day 4. Santa Fe, NM to Lubbock, TX | 729 miles total for Days 3 & 4 (forget to record mileage on Day 4)

Day 5. Lubbock, TX to Baytown, TX | 555 miles

In short, Texas was big and barren. We had originally planned to stop in Austin for a night (Sunday, Christmas Eve), but we opted to drive further to Baytown (east of Houston) so that we’d have a shorter drive on Christmas Day/more time to explore New Orleans. Note: no need to go to Baytown again.

Texas was uneventful and flat. But, nevertheless, we saw a part of the country we’d never seen. We drove past oil rigs, cotton fields, and windmills. And tumbleweeds, those too! The route we took from Lubbock to Baytown was desolate. We would have made a pit stop at Magnolia Market in Waco, Texas, but the home of Fixer Upper was closed Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve 2017 was spent eating sushi during the closing hour of a Japanese restaurant not far from our hotel. Holiday homesickness is a thing and we both were missing our families a lot; but, we both knew it was just this once… just this one time that we’d be in this nondescript east Houston oil town on Christmas Eve. Plus, we had playful Koba girl to keep us smiling.

 

Day 6. Baytown, TX to New Orleans, LA | 325 miles

We woke up Christmas morning excited to hit the road to NOLA! It was a shorter day of driving, purposefully, as to have more time to explore the city. I’m pretty sure we drove on Interstate 10 East for at least three days straight. Through the swamps and over the bayous to NOLA we go… we cranked up Christmas music, called our families to wish them a Merry Christmas, and by mid-afternoon we were in the heart of New Orleans. Ignorantly so, we thought the city would be quieter since it was a holiday, but wrong we were. The city was still very much alive.

It was semi-overwhelming exploring the streets of the French Quarter with our fluffy, wants-to-kiss-every-stranger of a puppy, but we enjoyed strolling the historic cobblestone streets — festive in decor, loud with construction, and spirited with live music and joyful tourists and locals alike.

And let’s just say that Christmas dinner was a bit of nightmare. Ok, I could be exaggerating. We didn’t go hungry (obviously!). Though finding a restaurant without a reservation in a big city on Christmas resulted in two hangry individuals wandering the streets looking for a restaurant fit for this foodie. I ended up demolishing the largest plate of veggie pasta, we gave our charming waitress a large Christmas tip, and called it a night.

We had one priority left on our to-do list before we left New Orleans and tackled our final day on the road. Beignets! Pure sugar and coffee is ideal driving fuel, no? Enter Cafe du Monde with a line of tourists that wraps around the block waiting for fried sugary dough doused in powdered sugar and washed down with chicory coffee. Street musicians kept us entertained as we waited in line, but it didn’t take absurdly long before we were inhaling powdered sugar for breakfast at an outdoor table surrounded by every other tourist doing the same thing.

Day 7. New Orleans, LA to Tampa, FL | 661 miles

We saved the longest leg for the last day. Oh yes we did. I mean it wasn’t by choice, but since NOLA was a non-negotiable, it’s how it had to be done. Enter 661 miles/10+ hours of driving — woo!

I found a Whole Foods in Alabama, and we skimmed through the south of Mississippi before crossing the Florida border. Yay for crossing off a few new states on “my list” this trip.

We pulled into Tampa late Tuesday night, December 26th. We made it! It still blows my mind that we encountered zero issues the entire week on the road. No car issues. Not a drop of rain. No iffy weather (aside from the shear cold).

Never did I think this is how I would wrap up 2017, but I couldn’t have imagined a better finale to finish off a year for the books! This road trip filled me with courage, endless laughter, purple potato chips, and memories that will last a lifetime. Sure, our Christmas holiday was anything but ordinary, but if I’m learning anything at all, it is that the best things in life are often unplanned and unexpected.

A Summer to Remember

September 14, 2017 by Hillary Leave a Comment

There is always that one summer that changes you.

Now that it’s mid-September, the summer adventures are winding up and I can feel Fall making its way here with cooler mornings and shorter days. I am more than ready to welcome a new season because Summer 2017 was completely satisfying; it was truly one of the best summers I can remember — filling me up with more adventure, love, and gratitude than I could have ever imagined.

Summer 2017 Memories

– a blissful tropical vacation in Kauai with family, including: snorkeling, swimming with sea turtles, hiking the Napali Coast, sipping fresh coconut water, hiking through the lush jungle, and enjoying casual sunset dinners on the lanai

– chasing waterfalls with friends & furry, 4-legged friends

– camping (and kayaking) at Whiskeytown Lake for 4th of July weekend

– cucumber mint cocktails & bowls of B Street chips and guacamole enjoyed al fresco

– bike rides to coffee, bike rides to lunch, and bike rides with the Sierra Nevada CEO

– lazy weekend afternoons spent floating on the Sacramento river

– henna tattoos and jasmine mint lavender iced tea

– sunny Saturday mornings buying out the farmer’s market — my happy place

– Chris Stapleton concert with the bestie

– stand-up paddleboard yoga

– a long weekend in Montana with family, including: cruising through Yellowstone with my cousins, shooting a gun for the first time, fishing, backyard BBQs (where I tried my brother’s elk meat!), and the most picturesque hike

– breaking in my first pair of Birkenstock sandals

– viewing the Total Solar Eclipse with 100+ of my coworkers in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Estate Garden

With the first day of fall just one week away, I’m headed off to the Central California Coast for one final hoorah to wrap-up the joyous season that was Summer 2017.

Adios until autumn!

Europe Diary 2015 // Stockholm, Sweden (The End!)

September 20, 2016 by Hillary Leave a Comment

Stockholm

We said our farewells to Switzerland and headed to our fifth and final destination: Stockholm, Sweden. You may be thinking, wow, that’s a bit out of the way, and yes, it did entail a long day of travel getting there – Spiez to Zurich via train and then Zurich to Stockholm via plane – but oh so worth it.

My aunt let us in on a little secret of just how cheap tickets from Stockholm to California are, so we couldn’t pass up the killer deal via Norwegian Air. We scored $300 tickets for a very comfortable non-stop flight back to the U.S. Regardless of the extra travel required to visit northern Europe, my mom and I were both excited to visit Scandinavia (I have Swedish heritage.).

While two nights (one full day) in the city wasn’t nearly long enough, we got a favorable taste for the Scandinavian gem that is Stockholm.

Stockholm

One of the highlights of our visit was that we had booked a room at af Chapman, “a full-rigged steel ship moored on the western shore of the islet Skeppsholmen in central Stockholm, Sweden, now serving as a youth hostel” (Wikipedia). This was my first time staying in a hostel, nonetheless a floating one! It was a priceless experience. My mom and I shared a room with bunkbeds, a small table and pair of chairs, and a single sink. The communal showers and toilets were down the hall; you picked up clean sheets from the office/host and made your own bed — simple lodging. On land, the main hostel building had additional rooms for guests as well as cooking facilities and a main dining area. You could purchase tickets for the daily hostel breakfast which was the best “hotel hostel breakfast” I’ve had. Slice and toast your own freshly baked artisan bread, thick, creamy yogurt, muesli, jars of hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds, dried fruit… and cold cuts of meat, cheese and crackers as we had also seen in Switzerland.

Staying aboard af Chapman was the icing on the cake during our brief visit, but we didn’t spend much time on the old ship as we filled our one and only day to it’s fullest capacity sightseeing around the city.

Backing up to the evening of our arrival: after a lengthy day traveling, we were dropped off in the heart of Stockholm, luggage in hand, to crowds of Syrian refuges being corralled by police. It was a bit startling to us tourists at first, but we avoided said scene and hopped onto a city bus to the hostel. Once we had settled into our quaint/claustrophobic room, we asked the kind hostel host for dinner recommendations. It was late, but he gave us a recommendation for a restaurant nearby. Having no sense of direction yet of our new surroundings, we walked under the dark sky, 10 minutes more or less, until we came to this farm-to-table restaurant.

Embarrassingly underdressed and without a reservation, the host agreed to sit us for a short while until they needed our table for a reservation. We agreed and sat down at a table for two in a dimly lit, presumably modern yet classy Scandinavian restaurant. The menu had slim pickings for two pescetarians, but our waiter was accommodating to our preferences. He brought us green salads followed by a shrimp toast that tasted more of mayonnaise than anything else. I could hardly stomach the rich dish, but enjoyed my surroundings. The large round table adjacent to ours sat 6 to 8 young adults, dressed in uniform of some sort. They ate and drank in merriment, and several times throughout our meal, they would sing out in unison — in Swedish of course. We never did figure out who they were, or rather what they were celebrating, but their joy was contagious.

Sooner than later, we were scurried from our table to allow for the previously reserved party. We asked for a box of their homemade cookies to go and ate the half-dozen assortment of miniature cookies on our cool walk back to the ship.

Stockholm


We covered quite a bit of ground the following day, crossing off items on our impromptu Stockholm bucket list, including walking the cobblestone streets of old town (Gamla Stan), touring the impeccable Royal Palace, and witnessing the changing of the guards.

We spent most of the day sauntering through the streets of Gamla Stan, window shopping and eating our way through the day. We took a self-guided tour through The Royal Palace mid-morning, including the underground treasury with historic bedazzled crowns and swords and regal attire.

Not far from the palace, we had the loveliest warm espresso drinks at Chokladkoppen, a cozy café in the heart of Gamla Stan; it was written up somewhere as one of Stockholm’s best coffee shops, and we can see why. Complete with an outdoor patio, furnished with fuzzy blankets, it is an ideal place to curl up with a hot beverage and people watch in the old square on a crisp, fall day.

We didn’t figure out the Swedish currency in 24 hours, so we laughed when we realized I had left our waiter a 50 percent tip — when in Stockholm!

We found lunch at another happening spot across the square from Chokladkoppen: soup, salad, and Swedish treats before (or after, I can’t recall) watching the changing of the guard ceremony around one in the afternoon.

In the evening, after spending most of our day in Gamla Stan, we took a long walk in the opposite direction towards the Nordic Museum; unfortunately, it was just closing for the night so we could only admire the architecture from the outside.

By the time we made it back our hostel, we were pooped. We used one of the kitchen’s inside the hostel to whip up some oatmeal (how’s that for our final dinner in Europe!?). The next morning, we packed our suitcases, took a quick stroll to Chokladkoppen for one more memorable coffee and then made our way to airport.

We left the Scandinavian city with our trip souvenirs (sterling silver rings from Drakenberg Sjölin), camera cards full of memories, and all the gratitude for this time spent traveling together in new, beautiful places. I hold this adventure with my mom near and dear to my heart. Until next time, Europe!

Europe Diary 2015 // Switzerland (Part 2)

September 10, 2016 by Hillary 1 Comment

It’s crazy that is has been almost one year since my mom and I took off on our mother-daughter European adventure. It’s even crazier that I have yet to finish recapping our epic vacation. It truly was one of the best trips of my life.

Spiez, Switzerland

Our second full day in Switzerland took us to new heights, literally. After staring at the immense peak of Mt. Niesen, a.k.a the Swiss Pyramid, from our hotel window the past couple of days, we decided to just, um, go to the tippy top! This was actually recommended to us from the friendly Swiss family we met on the train traveling in to Switzerland. You can hike up the beast of a mountain, or you can take a train that takes you up the mountain in about 20-30 minutes — a vertical shot to the top.

Spiez, Switzerland

The itty bitty (but adorable bright red train) was a test to my anxious-self, but when we made it to the top, the 360 degree views were worth the shaky ride. At 7,749 in elevation, the beauty of the white-capped Swiss alps and lush green valleys is unbelievable and can hardly be captured in a camera lens. Standing on the top of a mountain in Europe that I will most likely never stand on again, with sunshine peaking through my sunglasses, and crisp, early October air nipping at my nose, a wave a gratitude rushed over me for this day, this once-in-a-lifetime experience… this oh so wonderful life.

Fun facts via Wikipedia:

The summit of the mountain can be reached easily by using the Niesenbahn funicular from Mülenen (near Reichenbach). The construction of the funicular was completed in 1910. Alongside the path of the Niesenbahn is the longest stairway in the world with 11,674 steps. It is open only once a year to the public for a stair run.

Once we descended the mountain and returned to sleepy Spiez, we decided to tour Spiez Castle which was right across the street from our hotel. It is pretty neat to be able to stand in, and climb the creaky stairs, an ancient castle that dates back to the 12th century.

Switzerland took my breath away, encouraged me to venture outside of my comfort zone, and gave me the travel itch to see more of this beautiful Earth that we live on.

If I have the chance to visit this picturesque country again, I would in a heart beat.

That was what I needed: an entire weekend of 1:1 time with mama. Between our weekending of SUPing and bike riding, farmer’s marketing, shopping and baking blueberry peach crisp, she gently reminded me that I have not finished recapping our Europe vacation. How could I not finish this post series!?

Where did we leave off? Yes, that’s right… Italy, where Cinque Terre stole our hearts.

We reluctantly left sweet Sarah and her B&B and headed due north into Switzerland. It was yet another very long day of train travel, but the people we met in the train cars left lasting impressions, especially a pair of middle-aged Australian women with boisterous personalities. One of the two was on a several months-long European adventure, collecting rubber duckies (yes, yellow bathtub rubber duckies) from each city she visited for a nephew back home. Oh, was she a hoot!

A few train stations and many miles (kilometers) later, we arrived in Spiez, Switzerland: a small town on the shore of Lake Thun in the Berner Oberland region. We hadn’t heard much about Spiez prior to our trip, but we chose it for its proximity to Murren and Gimmelwald — which were high on our bucket list.

Switzerland

Switzerland is as fairytale-like as it is made up to be. For the three nights and two full days we were there, we must have pinched ourselves a dozen times each. Is this real life? Green hills, grazing cows, towering white-capped mountains, cheerful flower boxes, garden gnomes and red window shutters. This is real life!

After a simple dinner at our hotel’s restaurant, we got a good night’s sleep before we ventured to the touristy villages in the Swiss Alps.

After a cold breakfast of Swiss muesli and yogurt (of course!), we caught the train (of course!) towards Interlaken. From Interlaken, we caught a bus to Lauterbrunen, and from there, we rode an aerial tram (cable car) up, up, and up to Murren (which is unreachable by public road). Can I toot our own horn for mastering international public transportation?

Murren was a lot sleepier than I had expected. A few tourists here and there, but the single main street was not lively in the slightest. Some restaurants appeared open, though there wasn’t a lot of action per say. High among the iconic alps, you didn’t need anything else but wide eyes and a gracious heart. After all, the views are what you are there for. They are beyond breathtaking.

On the way up in the crammed tram, there were a few daring individuals with large packs of hang gliding gear. We learned that this was a popular place to do such, so as we sauntered through the quiet mountain villages, we watched for little parachutes against the piercing blue sky.

After moseying around Murren, we took the “hike” (a walk on a paved road) down to Gimmelwald, which we had read about in a Rick Steve’s travel guide. After admiring the petite (also traffic-free) village that is Gimmelwald, we caught the cable car back to Lauterbrunnen. We stopped at Airtime internet cafe for a bite to eat, which turned out to be gem with nutritious, mouth-watering options like the roasted butternut and apple sandwich that Mom and I devoured.

Fueled up with “good mood food”, we rode the bus and then the train back to Spiez where we wandered around town for a bit; a low-key evening and some down time was needed before Day 2 of our Swiss adventures — stay tuned!

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
