Summer Uniform 🩱 Note: The first time I saw water this blue was when I was 19 years old and my parents took me on a family trip to Tahiti. The color of the water was seared into my mind and I’ve carried that core memory around like a precious treasure, always seeking to visit islands surrounded by that shade of blue. Here in Turks and Caicos, I found it again. The water is crystal clear, warm and just as striking. Another note: If you’re coming from Miami, the flight is less than 1 1/2 hours. If you’re coming from LA, there’s no direct flight. It takes almost 9 hours to get here. If you’re coming from the West Coast, my advice: stop in Miami for a day or two before coming so you break up the trip 😉 #turksandcaicosbeaches #onepiecebathingsuit #bathingsuitseason #islandstyle #travelcreator #summervacation☀️

Growing up with a Chinese mom, I eagerly looked forward to the New Year. ICYMI, the holiday is full of superstitions and there are certain do’s and don’ts to follow to secure a prosperous and lucky year ahead. Here are a few of them: 🧧WEAR RED Red is considered a lucky color and if you can wear something new AND red, that’s even better. It’s believed to bring good luck and fortune. 🧧PLACE DECORATIONS UPSIDE DOWN When decorating with the blessing symbol, ‘Fu,’ the character for good fortune/luck, hang it upside down to symbolizes luck “pouring down” or “descending on” your home. 🧧DON’T CLEAN ON NEW YEAR’S DAY Don’t clean your home on the first day of the Lunar New Year for fear of washing away any good luck that arrived at the stroke of midnight. Make sure you spend time with family and friends on New Year’s Day instead of cleaning! 🧧OPEN WINDOWS Open windows and doors on Chinese New Year’s Eve for good luck! According to Chinese New Year tradition, opening the windows and doors ushers in positive energy. 🧧LUCKY MONEY The tradition of distributing red envelopes (laisee) filled with crisp cash to children and unmarried adults is a gesture of good luck. As a child, I would get small amounts of money, but as I got older, the amount became more generous. 🧧EAT SWEETS! Eating something sweet is believed to make this year sweeter than the year before. 🧧SYMBOLIC FOODS In the Cantonese language (what my mom spoke), the word for “Fish” and “Abundance” are homonyms. I was always told as a child to make sure I ate some fish so I would have an abundant year ahead. Other foods that are always served: noodles which symbolize longevity and dumplings which symbolize wealth and prosperity as they look like ancient Chinese ingots/money. And, don’t forget about fruit like oranges and pomelos which symbolize fullness and wealth. 🐉 DRAGON YEAR 🐉 The 2024 dragon year is said to bring improvement, evolution, and abundance; it would be the perfect time to lay the foundation for long-term success. #cny #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear #traditions #chinesetraditions
This week’s storm in SoCal left several feet of snow in our mountains! It’ll be a great weekend to head up to our local resorts enjoy all that fresh powder. You’ll see more pine trees than aspen trees, but it will be just as beautiful 🌲🌲🌲 #snow #freshpowder #ski #snowboard #laweather #aspen #aspentrees

#ad Lunar New Year is on February 10th this year! That’s this Saturday! In addition to all the traditional sweets I bought for the New Year, I also picked up some Limited Edition Peanut M&MS® from @Target Growing up in a half-Chinese household, my mom would always decorate the house in bright red and gold and we would feast on foods that symbolized luck and prosperity for the year ahead. Also, there was always a vast array of sweet treats because Chinese believe eating something sweet ushers in a sweet year ahead. Eating some of these Lunar New Year M&MS® candies will definitely take care of that! I should mention, the special Peanut M&MS® are only available at Target for a limited time. Learn more information about @mmschocolate product at Target via my LTK shop (I linked the limited edition M&MS® and other Lunar New Year products to make it easy! Link in bio) Gung Hay Fat Choy! 🐉🧧 #Target #TargetPartner #ad #MMS #targetlunarnewyear #liketkit liketk.it/4pQGb
RECIPE ⬇️ Protein Rich Cookie Dough If you have a sweet tooth (like me!) and you’re trying to get more protein and fiber into your diet, try this chocolate chip cookie dough. It’s egg-free, dairy-free and tastes delicious. I used powdered peanut butter by @pb2foods vegan protein powder by @ritual and vegan chocolate chips by @enjoylifefoods. 2 Tbsp pb2 1 1/2 Tbsp Protein Powder 1-2 Tbsp Chocolate Chips Protein: 18g Fiber: 5.5g Fat: 8g Calories: 207 Pro-tip: if you want even more fiber and something that’s even sweeter, fill the inside of a large medjool date with the cookie dough…it’s delicious and very decadent (plus, you get a boost of potassium!) #cookiedough #proteincookiedough #vegancookiedough #nobake #easydessert #eggfree #dairyfree
Tuesday Weather Report: We’ve had record rainfall across Southern California and today, we will continue to see periods of heavy to moderate rain and mountain snow. Tomorrow (Wednesday), things will begin to settle down, but light to moderate rain and snow remains in the forecast (and we could see a light dusting of snow along the grapevine tonight into tomorrow). Today will be the coolest day of the next seven with daytime highs topping out in the 50s. Wear layers! By the weekend, conditions improve. Saturday and Sunday will be dry, but temps stay on the cool side (60s). It should be clear in our local mountains over the weekend so that would be a good time to head up to our resorts and enjoy the fresh powder. ☔️🌧️ #laweather #onceameteorologistalwaysameteorologist #socalweather #socalrain #winterweather
RECIPE ⬇️ PESTO KELP NOODLES If you’re looking for an alternative to pasta that’s gluten-free, low carb, low calorie (these have 6 calories per serving!), and delicious, try kelp noodles! They’re common in Asian cooking and if you love glass noodles, you’ll love these. The trick is to prepare them before you cook them: – Rinse the noodles under the sink – Mix 1/4 cup lemon juice add 1-2 tsp baking soda (it will bubble), then add the noodles – Massage the noodles for 10-20 seconds until they soften – Rinse again under the sink – Add noodles to your sauce or soup (for this meal I added them to homemade pesto sauce) ICYMI: Kelp is a brown seaweed native to Japan. The sea vegetable is known as a superfood because it’s: – Anti-inflammatory – Rich in antioxidants and minerals (magnesium, calcium, iron and iodine) – INGREDIENTS FOR NOODLE WASH: – 12 oz. kelp noodles – 1/4 cup lemon juice – 1-2 tsp baking soda PESTO INGREDIENTS (I eyeball it, so I don’t know the amount 🤷🏻♀️) – Basil – Spinach – Peanuts – Rice Milk – Olive Oil – Salt, Pepper #kelpnoodles #lowcarb #lowcalorie #veganmeal #seaweed #seavegetables #kelp

Home… Home is not just a place, it’s a feeling. For me, stepping onto the ice is like going home. A sanctuary of sorts. Every time I hear my blades carving through a clean sheet of ice, I’m immediately transported to a place of peace, where time slows and the world fades away. There’s also a nostalgic feeling of going back to my childhood when life revolved around practices and competitions. It’s funny, when I was a little girl, I never understood why there were so many adult skaters who came to the rink, eagerly hopping on the ice after my friends and fellow competitors finished our freestyle sessions. To be brutally honest, as a teenager, I thought the adults were weird and wasting their time because they weren’t doing anything significant (in my eyes 😉). Now that I’m one of those adults who steps on the ice to simply skate for the shear joy of moving my body, I finally understand why the adults skaters of years past took the time to skate. Skating is truly one of the only activities that immediately puts me into a state of flow, a state of peace where I don’t worry about the past or fear the future… What brings you joy and puts you in a flow state? Is it thinking about an image? Going to a place? Doing an activity? Being with a person or pet? I’d love to hear in the comments 👇 #flowstate #homeonice #iceskating #figureskating #skating #formerfigureskater #wintersports
