San Diego is full of hikes of all sizes and difficulty while catering to what you prefer! Depending if you like being close to the city, or want a day of exploring – I hope one of these San Diego hikes gets your attention as you venture out to do some hiking this weekend! Five San Diego hikes to try 1/ Kwaay Pay Peak Trade in the crowded Cowles mountain for this less known hike in Mission Trail Regional Park. I love all the city hikes that San Diego has to offer, and you don’t need to drive far from San Diego for this one! This hike is beautiful, short but a great workout with an elevation gain of 915 ft. Park at the Old Mission Dam, walk out and take a right and you should see the trailhead! 2/ South Fortuna Stairs Another great alternative to Cowles mountain, in Mission Trails. Depending what season you go, you can see running water – often a rare sight during the drought! Although this hike is also not far from the main hub of San Diego, you will feel completely swallowed up in nature and the workout will be pretty epic. […]

Thrift traders has two main locations (plus a $2 shop in Ocean Beach) within San Diego. Pacific Beach, and their North Park location. After some time goes by and I realize I will never find an outfit that works with a shirt I recently bought (like the black peplum shirt below), or that my light purple lavender sweater I will NEVER wear even though I tell myself “next Easter I will totally wear that.” Over the years my style has changed and no, I will not wear that. So…I take my clothes, shoes, necklaces etc. to one of the stores (tip, if the first store doesn’t take all of your clothes go to the second! Each store may be looking for different things/have more space etc.). Below are some of the items in […]

Mushroom Caves

Let me start by saying I followed other people's blogs (thank you people of the internet for sharing this discovery)! and I thought the only way to get to the caves was going through "no trespassing signs." Well that wasn't true! (In my case). I was told I would see a side trail with a yellow sign saying "no trespassing" but it was clear that they had covered the trail so I kept going and found a hidden San Diego gem.
