Hello my friends,

Well, the Holidays are officially in full swing! Thanksgiving weekend came and passed, and with that brought December into full swing (and possibly a few pounds from all that darn candied yams I had last weekend!).

Ahh, December. My favorite month of the whole year. Being a December baby, I always had so much to celebrate in this month in such a short span of time. You know that meme that’s floating around.. “I wish that someone would remember my December birthday?” Well yeah, but it’s hardly a price paid to be born in a month filled with hot cocoa and candy canes! Now I am starting to feel like Elf…

Anyways, this weekend I had the chance to finally go to the Succulent Cafe, a place that I have seen all over Instagram. Succulents and coffee are pretty much two of my favorite things…so I just knew that the combo had to be pretty magical.

Boy, did I walk into a magical kingdom of succulents! There were so, so many of them to walk around and see. There was a succulent Christmas tree and succulent ornaments, for crying out loud! Could nature get any more festive? I think not!

To adventuring to where you live and finding the cutest places ever!

Xoxo,

Lena

Hello my loves!

Well, there is just something special about downtown areas. You know what I mean…I love how much there is to do, compacted in such a small area of space. It’s fun going to downtown areas of different cities to see the sights that they offer.

I had been wanting to go to downtown Fullerton in just about forever, because there is this store that my friend told me about and ever since then I have pretty much religiously followed them.Oh hello friend! Yes, that’s the name of the most cutest, loveliest, *insert-every-single-descriptive-word-of-adoration-known-to-man-kind here.* I wanted to move every item in this store into my home.. Like, pronto.

I also got to satisfy my sweet-tooth and enjoy the most delicious tea cafe I have ever really been to! I’m not a huge tea person, but matcha is my thing. Where’s it at? Tranquil Tea Lounge is where it’s at. And the only reason why I’m telling you this is because I’d love to see you there next time, obviously. But really, berry matcha smoothies?! The quality of their tea was impeccable. You know where else it’s at? Bolu Bakery Cafe. Such a large coffee/bakery shop which has the BEST decor also.

These stacked wall plants were the best. If only this was around the corner from my house.. Well actually good thing it’s not, otherwise I’m afraid I would be here way too often.

I’ll see you next time,

Xoxo,

Lena
