Happy almost-weekend! This is our second weekend in the Bay Area and while we were originally planning on white water rafting, we decided not to go due to our less than stellar swimming abilities. We will probably meet up with some of Vincent’s friends and gorge ourselves silly on the delicious Asian food here. *I can’t get enough of Hong Kong milk tea and all kinds of noodle dishes*

Some thought-provoking and fun links:

• Loved this piece featuring Beyoncé on self-love and self-acceptance. 
• On the importance of setting boundaries: “If we don’t guard our time, our ability to be kind erodes”. So true.
• Dermstore is having an anniversary sale with some of my favorite brands (e.g. Sunday Riley, La Roche-Posay) up to 25% off*. I will be stocking up on this holy grail AHA serum. If you are on the market for a powerful but lightweight hair dryer, look no further than Harry Josh. I’m usually too lazy to blow-dry my hair, but this hair dryer has made it tolerable in getting the job done under 5 minutes.
• They had me at “Napa“. Next weekend trip?
