Achieving a Summery Glow Without the Sun

in All Posts, Beauty & Skin Care, Living, March 14, 2019
I found myself staring at my blindingly pale skin in the mirror a mere week before my upcoming trip. It’s been pretty chilly and rainy here in the Bay Area this winter so I’ve been layering up. Most of my skin hasn’t seen the sun in weeks or maybe...

Have you ever thought about how many plastic bottles you go through each year for your shampoo, conditioner, face wash, body wash, etc? You can recycle the cleaned out bottles, but if the brand you buy doesn’t...

Hiking Huddart Park: Crystal Springs Trail to Chaparral Trail to Richards Rd Trail to Bay Tree Trail

in All Posts, Living, Outdoor Fun, April 19, 2015
Spent my Sunday morning doing this lovely hike! It only took just over an hour to complete the 2.83 mile loop at Huddart County Park (part of the San Mateo County Park system). The trail is predominantly wooded and pretty level. There are a few uphill/downhill sections but none too long or too steep. While there were other people on the trail, it wasn’t as crowded as some other hikes I’ve been on. Parking is pretty easy right by the trailhead. There is a $6 fee to enter the park at the gate. Unfortunately, no dogs allowed.

Hiking Rancho San Antonio County Park & Open Space Preserve

in All Posts, Living, Outdoor Fun, June 16, 2014
Yesterday, we went on another short hike in Rancho San Antonio County Park in Los Altos, CA. There is plenty of parking around and a lot of trails. We didn’t really plan this one out like the last one. We just kind of went to the park and started off down some trails until we decided we were done and turned back. We started at one of the parking lots and went down the Permanente Creek Trail, then onto the Lower Meadow Trail, then onto the Farm Bypass Trail until it connected to the Coyote Trail, then we followed that to the Wildcat Loop Trail. We basically started out just following the signs that directed us to the Wildcat Loop Trail. I’m not sure the exact milage of our hike but going out and back took about an hour and 45 minutes. Some parts were more wooded than others and there weren’t too many hills. We saw a couple of lizards and several squirrels. There were also little bridges along the trail crossing over some creeks. It was definitely a nice leisurely hike and I would like to go back to the park and explore some of the other many trails sometime, too!
