Hi!

When I was gearing up to move to San Diego, I remember watching these San Diego neighborhood guide videos because I knew nothing about where to live in the city. So now that I've lived here for more than a year, I thought I'd make one of my own! I live in Pacific Beach and go into detail on all the neighborhoods that I'm most familiar with. Please feel free to comment your thoughts/opinions as well!

Yooooo

it's been a HOT minute since we've done a full on thrift haul! I've had some luck thrifting recently and am super excited about everything I found so thought I'd share :). I hit up some thrift stores in San Diego (Out of the Closet and Buffalo Exchange in hillcrest) that I had never been to before and was very pleasantly surprised. This video also includes items from the $2 Salvation Army sale and Out of the Closet in San Francisco.

thanks for watching!

Hi!!

This is part 2 of my disneyland vlog! Pt 1 is also up on my channel and that one is all about our trip to Disneyland and riding allll the rides. This one is our day at Disneyland California Adventure! We rode pretty much all the rides that were open with the exception of Guardians of the Galaxy, which we chickened out on...but one of the least suspecting rides turned out to be THE scariest ride of all time. We also ate some delicious food, took an Animation /drawing Class in Hollywood land, & more!

Hii, 

I went to Disneyland / California Adventure over MLK weekend with some friends!! I've been to Disney World quite a few times but Disneyland maybe only once when I was a baby. We rode pretty much all the rides (with the exception of some of the baby rides and rides that were closed). Star Wars land was one of my faves *despite having not seen the movies*

This vlog has tons of POV ride footage, food recommendations, things to do in the park & more!! And this is only pt 1.... California Adventure will be the next video!

Yoyoyo,

I've been living in San Diego for about 9 months now, and I'm a big fan of artsy photo spots so I've been making a mental list of the best spots to take photos. In this video, I share my top 20 locations (including some hidden gems), and also show the type of photos I took at each spot, tips, and live video footage of the destination. Whether you're searching for some insta worthy shots or need a backdrop for your graduation/wedding photos, I got you covered.

I had a lot of footage of my life here in San Diego so I had to make another week in my life video, which is actually a couple weeks in my life. We've been doing some exploration of other neighborhoods besides Pacific Beach, including La Jolla (Parakeet Cafe, Birch Aquarium) and North Park (Verbatim Books, Pigment, Figaro Cafe, etc)! Honestly it's pretty fun just walking around and seeing what stores and things you can stumble upon.

Another fun/packed week(s) in San Diego in the books! Lowkey a couple weeks behind on vlogs but it's all good because we will catch up in no time. This vlog includes an unexpectedly cool hike through Annie's Canyon trail, a birthday drag brunch at Lips, some cool products I recently discovered, tie-dying and bleaching shirts, getting poke from It's Raw in Ocean Beach & more!

Hiii

In today's video, I talk about my experiences living in San Diego and San Francisco. I lived in SF from Feb 2020-May 2021 and have lived in San Diego since then. In SF I lived in SOMA and in SF I live in Pacific Beach. I find that a lot of people are interested in my experiences living in both cities so I thought I'd compare and contrast them. Things I talk about include food, safety, people, things to do, nightlife, transportation, etc. 

Comment below if you have any additional questions or experiences you'd like to share!

filmed this room tour 4 months ago LMAO but here it is finally!!! This is a tour of my current room in San Diego. I filmed an empty apartment tour when I first got here but this is my furnished/decorated room within that apartment tour.

My room still looks about the same so it's still relevant. My friend Anusha and I put a lot of work into my room so I go into detail on where we got everything and include some tips and tricks that I found to be helpful.

Hope you enjoyyyy

Guys.. my birthday week(s) was so packed and fun and amazing that it must be broken down into multiple parts. So this is the finale aka part 3 of my birthday vlog, which all takes places in San Diego. Basically one of my besties Anusha hatched this plan to bring as many of our SF friends to SD as possible to surprise me for my bday. I literally did not sniff out the plan at all and everyone was in on it. 

This part includes allll the games, like Lazer tag, an escape room, arcades, Punch Bowl Social, & more!

THANKS TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO CAME / made my bday so fun and special. Love you all.
