First post ever!

Hello everybody! I'm not sure how many people this will actually reach, but here we go. I wanted to start this blog to share my love of good vegetarian food and amazing beauty finds. I recently went on a trip to southern California, where I used to live, and did some really fun things. Ate great food, went shopping, and visited gorgeous beaches. Here are some of the things I indulged in!













The famous and delicious Balboa Bar. I find myself craving these every once in a while. It's a tradition to go to The Fun Zone and eat one with my dad every time I come for a visit.













My brother, my boyfriend, and I went to The Veggie Grill for dinner at The Irvine Spectrum. It was soooo good! I've eaten there once before and loved, however I wasn't aware that the entire menu was actually vegan. I ordered the Santa Fe "Chicken", kale style. It was wonderful.













I dragged my dad to The Layer Cake Bakery in Irvine so I could feast my eyes on their selection of french macarons. Oh my goodness, what a sight! Kind of expensive at $22 for the box 14, but pretty much worth it....they were all gone within 10 minutes by the way. The best flavors were vanilla and pistachio, in my opinion.













What's a trip to California without going to In-N-Out at least once? My boyfriend and I ordered animal style fries. I must admit, they tasted a lot better when I was a teenager. They're still really good, but I find myself almost feeling sick when I'm done.













We went up to LA for the day and our first stop by The Griffith Observatory. I highly recommend going there. It's breathtaking and it's free! We had lunch at the cafe which served packaged sandwiches and snacks. Most of the food is Wolfgang Puck, so I was expecting some good eats. We got the veggie sandwich and it was so flavorful and good.

Ok, so this first post was definitely focused on food. I'll probably end up posting more about my trip, including some shopping and beauty info. By the way, a lot of the food we ate wasn't exactly the healthiest, but we were on vacation and sometimes you just have to treat yourself!
