Welcome back to from the holidays. I'm already back at work. But daydreaming for sure about this amazing residential flat on the Mediterranean Sea. Restored by Pitsou Kedem Architects. I'd move to Israel for this flat, or just a small visit.
Rollin' Around
It's official I have been back from Costa Rica for a week now. I wasted no time finding a new car for the one that was taken from me at the end of July. 4 months without a car in LA = in better shape and tired. So, in the last few days I have been gettin' used to my first convertible. It's mini-licious!
The bf and I even bundled up and drove with the top down up to Malibu for brunch on sunday. I can just feel it, my first speeding ticket is around the way ;) This thing is just too much fun. It's the best Christmas present ever!
Costa Rica
I can't explain to you how super excited I am for tomorrow. I will be taking the red-eye flight to Costa Rica tomorrow. The first two days we will be spending at the base of an active volcano, Arenal.
Then the BF booked us a 6 day yoga retreat on the beaches of Costa Rica. I am super super excited. Every morning we get up and do yoga for a few hours, then the rest of the day we get to relax on the beach, lounge on the pristine beaches or a zip line jungle canopy tour or hike in the rainforest, crocodile tour, or shopping in town, so much or so little to do! We even have a personal chef, and I hear the food is great. They will even serve us a Thanksgiving meal on Thursday!
So enjoy your Thanksgiving. I know I will be!
Rundies
On Saturday the Boyfriend set up a initial training session for us with one of the Personal Trainers in his building. First, let me back up for a second.
I have only once had a personal trainer in my time, and that was two years ago when I was training for the LA Marathon and I wanted to PR so badly I could taste it. Though not my first marathon, the LA Marathon was so painful, I didn't even want to talk about it. Let's just say it all stemmed from my malfunctioning watch. I didn't trust my training and strength and let ended up defeating my own self.

I have been a long fan of artist Scott Hansen of ISO50. Being a graphic designer myself, his work drew me in originally. Then, I quickly fell in love with his music too. And early last year I saw Tycho play here in LA. Breathtaking is the only work for it. Now, I know I just did a music post, but he just released this remix (as he's been opening for Little Dragon, another fav). It's so gorgeous, you have to at least take a listen. And if you're a fan like me you can even download it.
Of course he even designs his artwork for his music. Amazing! Right?!?!
Run. Inspired.
I have a small, growing obsession of watching marathons and other races. So naturally, I watched the NYC Marathon on Sunday. I have been a little run down (read the boyfriend got me sick) lately, but watching these amazing runners always inspires me. As a little tribute to them and in hopes of inspiring a few other people to get out there are sweat today.
And Ellie Goulding's, spot for Nike Running.
Now go grab your running shoes and get your sweat on! Happy trails.
