Salud

I always like trying new places, but there are some spots that I return to again and again. One of those places is Salud in Barrio Logan. Now, Barrio Logan was one of those unsavory locations in San Diego that most people avoided. Just from its appearance, people avoided it. Unfortunate because the most delicious…

Summer Road Trip to Zion National Park

I have no idea how to relax. Relaxing involves having to sit still for prolonged periods of time and just… existing. It’s just not a vibe I understand. Maybe it’s an untreated form of anxiety, but if I’m not up and doing something, I feel like I’m wasting time. Anyone else feel this way? Cuz I…

jenk food x Kimposed New Apparel Line Photoshoot

If I had the opportunity, I’d go on photoshoots all day, every day. I love location scouting, hunting for unusual backdrops, and chasing that golden hour glow. But when I travel, I don’t bring along a bunch of models to shoot and, honestly, I feel awkward “modeling” in front of the camera. Sure, I do it…

Food & Drink Guide: Seattle

A good friend of mine is heading to Seattle soon and I bombarded her with texts of what to do, eat, and see in Seattle. Thankfully, she’s super patient and appreciates my quirks, I think 😉 To avoid that next time someone asks me about Seattle, I’ll save them the text rampage and direct them…

Where to Eat in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia

And of course, I had to see this recent “superbloom” with my own eyes. I decided to head to Antelope Valley to smang on some poppies….

Review: Osprey Daylite Daypack

I love bags. Not purses. Like built-for-utility, well-designed bags. I mean, don’t get me wrong. A nice purse always catches my eye, but I always go for function over looks, first. And if you know me at all, I have an unhealthy number of bags in my possession. I put bags inside bags. To paint…
