Happy Monday! This weekend, the weather was gorgeous in SF! Friday night, Dane and I went to our first Sofar sounds event. It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever been to. This particular one was at someone’s home in the city and we brought food, a bottle of wine and cozied up to listen to four incredible musicians. If you haven’t been to one yet, I would highly recommend it. It really does bring the intimacy of music back. Saturday was spent roaming the Farmer’s Market where we picked up some fresh veggies, fruit and seafood to make a delicious lunch at home. That night, we headed to One Market for a wonderful Father’s Day dinner with Dane’s family. The tuna steak that I had was delicious!
Today, I’m back for another recipes, round-ups and Q+A post. I’ll showcase some interesting links from around the web, throwback to some old posts of mine, answer your anonymous questions and highlight some delicious recipes I find on the web!

Q: What’s your current workout routine like?
Great question! While I may switch it up every so often, I tend to stick to the same style of workouts. I know what I like, so why change it? Currently, here’s what my usual weekly workout schedule looks like:
Monday: HIIT sprint routine: 9 sprints at 11.5-12mph for 20 seconds with walking breaks in between + 12 sets of upper body lifting
Tuesday: Full-body lifting workout (24 sets)
Wednesday: HIIT sprint routine (same as above)
Thursday: HIIT sprint routine (same as above)
Friday: Full-body lifting workout (24 sets)
Saturday & Sunday: Nada/Rest
To note: Some weeks, I may only get in four workouts and while I fit these workouts in every week, I may switch up the days I do them depending on how I feel that morning. Also, each workout is only 45 minutes total or less. I’m all about efficiency in the gym!
