I recently had an opportunity to visit Punchbowl Social in Rancho Cucamonga with a group of amazing local bloggers. Punchbowl Social is a restaurant, bar, bowling, alley, and all-around fun place to hang out. They are located in Rancho Cucamonga, CA in the Victoria Gardens Mall, as well as several other locations across the country. We were invited to try their delicious brunch menu, which included a mimosa punchbowl for us to share!

Well, the San Diego County Fair has come and gone for another year. Even though it is already over, I wanted to write up a quick post about my visit this year because I really felt like this was one of the best years of the San Diego County Fair to date! Having grown up in San Diego County, I spent most of my childhood visiting the fair - back when it was called the Del Mar Fair! Some of my best childhood memories include long days spent at the fair eating junk food, riding rides, and seeing concerts. Now that I'm an adult, I don't get to the fair every year like I used to. I typically go every other year, especially now that I'm much less inclined to ride those terrifying fair rides. 

Southern California is probably one of the best places to spend a summer. From Los Angeles to San Diego, there are no shortages of beautiful beaches, delicious restaurants, and fun things to do. I put together this short list of some fun events and activities going on in Southern California this summer, if you have time to do something other than lay on a beach or see a movie outdoors. 😉

Southern California's wine country is located in the Temecula Valley, which is about an hour northeast of San Diego, an hour inland from Orange County, and an hour and a half southeast of Los Angeles. It is a perfect getaway from anywhere in Southern California. Temecula Valley Wine Country is home to over 30 amazing wineries and vineyards. One of the most popular of those wineries is Wilson Creek Winery and Vineyard, which is known for its Almond Sparkling Wine. I recently spent a Sunday afternoon there with my mom for a late Mother's Day treat and had a wonderful experience that I'd love to share.

Catalina Island is a hidden gem just off the coast of Southern California. Even though it is just off the coast, it truly feels like you have travelled to another country. You can travel to Catalina Island easily by ferry from either Dana Point or Long Beach. Catalina is a pretty small island with only one real town, Avalon, and another area if you plan on camping, Two Harbors. This guide will be focusing on what to do when in the small town of Avalon! Avalon is a great place to head for a long weekend or even just as a day trip!

Planning a trip to Disneyland can be very overwhelming. There is so much that goes into making sure you are able to see everything you want. These are 25 of some of the best tips to make the most of your time at Disneyland and have the best trip ever!

Sometimes life gets stressful and you just need to take a mental health day. This is how I was feeling last week. Graduate school has been keeping me stressed beyond belief and I needed to blow off some steam. The place that always works wonders for me is Disneyland. Unfortunately, I didn't have anybody available to go with. I decided to just head to Disneyland solo for the first time. Let me tell you, it was a blast!
