Sneak Peak

I’ve been working on a new line of eco-friendly and eco-conscious tees that are 100% organic cotton aaaaaand are also super dope. I finally had the chance to photograph a few models wearing our tees and I couldn’t be more excited to share a sneak peak of what’s to come… A million thanks to the…

San Antonio’s Coffee Festival

Giray and I attended San Antonio’s Coffee Festival yesterday and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect — sunny and a lovely 30 degrees, haha. The festival was held at La Villita, downtown San Antonio and admission was free. To sample different coffees (which is exactly why you attend a coffee festival, haha) you’d purchase…

Adios 2016

Happy New Year!  2017! Last night we welcomed the new year with open arms amongst close friends and family. There was great food, good music, TONS of fireworks –TONS! and the classic piñata. It was perfect. 2016 was such an amazing year, filled with so many wonderful experiences and memories — can’t wait to see what…

Sal Del Rey

While visiting family in the Rio Grande Valley I discovered (thanks to a dear friend, Felix) a hidden gem called Sal Del Rey, salt flat. I’m originally from the Valley, born and raised, and had never heard of  it, so I was super curious to check it out. The drive there was nice and relaxing, the weather…

Mila Coffee

One of our friends, Marco, opened up his very own cafe truck downtown San Antonio and it’s definitely worth checking out. It’s called Mila and it’s located on Broadway directly across the new CH Guenther Bakery. He brings Mexican traditional flavors and incorporates them into his coffee, which is SO good! Here’s the trailer, so…

Cool Local Cookie Shop

While running errands out in the cool rainy weather today, Giray and I took a quick break to get some cookies from a local cookie shop, Lily’s Cookies. With it being Election Day, they were selling cookies of Donald Trump and Hillary Clintons’ faces and they smelled sooo good and looked amazing so I grabbed a…

Pharm Table

I’m sure many of you San Antonians have already heard of this cool vegetarian spot downtown called Pharm Table but I just recently went for lunch and omg, it was awesome. I had been following their Instagram account for a few weeks and would just drool over the beautiful photos they posted of their dishes and drinks until…

Game of Thrones Set

After leaving Tangier, our plan was to drive to Marrakech and enjoy the rest of our time there until our return flight to Turkey BUT we found out that a few episodes of Game of Thrones had been filmed in Morocco…not too far from where we were, lol, so we drove to the small town of Ouarzazate…

Tangier

Giray and I had been obsessing over Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations, so naturally, we had made plans to visit and eat at all his favorite spots in Tangier (a short 3 hr drive from Chefchaouen). Anthony had mentioned time and time again how Tangier was his favorite city in the world and with Spain being a…

Chefchaouen – The Blue City

After spending a few days in Marrakech, we decided it was time to explore more of Morocco, so we rented a car and took off into the desert. Giray and I had heard amazing things about “The Blue City” aka, Chefchaouen so we made that our first road trip stop. Chefchaouen is about a 7 hour…

Moroccan Nights

After much walking  in the heat and exploring what felt like every nook and cranny in Marrakech, we decided we had earned a fancy meal and belly dancers,  lol. We had heard about this amazing restaurant in Marrakech, Comptoir Darna, that is a celeb go-to, had the best belly dancers and food, so we made reservations, got…

Yves Saint Laurent’s, Jardin Majorelle

So after our terrible experience, we recovered and were ready to explore the city once more. I mean, we weren’t going to let one horrible person ruin it all for us, am I right? So off we went to the Yves Saint Laurent Garden, Jardin Majorelle. This home and garden were absolutely stunning. The vibrant…
