How to tackle Napa in a day + Cali Update!
Before we talk Napa…a little update!
As some of you may know that I recently relocated to the West Coast for a new job opportunity. I have been here for about 3 months, and can’t believe I’ve lasted this long 🙂 In the three months, I have moved into my very own first apartment, and have been adulting every bit of the way. I wish I could go back in time, and be a young girl with no worries. Since that is not my reality I am taking it one day at a time, and adjusting to West Coast Living.

In honor of Mardi Gras just passing I’m throwing it back to recap my New Orleans trip I took this summer. It was my first time visiting, and I honestly fell in love! The city of fantastic seafood, Cajun any and everything, and beignets. You can’t forget to get the beignets. If you do one thing when you go to NOLA, do yourself a favor and go and get some beignets, and go multiple times.
