We went on vacation and all we got were these lousy sunburns

Posted on by tainambrown

Hello? Is anybody out there?

We’ve been a bit quiet since our return to the States from Costa Rica almost two weeks ago. If you’ve been following us, you probably already know that during the first couple days of our trip Melo was getting over a cold and I had one coming on. Luckily, after just 2 days, I was feeling a lot better so we were able to take advantage of being so close to one of those black-sand beaches Costa Rica is famous for.

However…

Weekend Bliss: Planning the Perfect Sunday Funday

Posted on by tainambrown

Weekends are a time for sleeping in, catching up with loved ones, and day drinking.

Cue: Sunday Funday!

Sunday Funday is the best way to capture all that the weekend has to offer before having to go back into work on Monday morning. When I lived in Atlanta, my Sunday Funday’s were often spontaneous and involved a lot of alone time due to the fact that my weeks were filled with school and work. Now that I’m in LA, Sunday Funday’s have become quite the adventure as there is a lot to see and do here LaLa Land. Whether you’re looking for some quality alone time like I was or looking for something more people-centered, there are a few key things that are essential to the Sunday Funday.

Nature/Big Sean/Buffet Brunch Birthday Weekend

Posted on by melomorpheus

Last week, Tai posted about her surprise birthday–her first celebration in L.A.–that I organized for her. The weekend after her festivities, we then celebrated my birthday in Utah and Las Vegas. Actually, my brother’s birthday was also around the corner, so we pretty much were also partying it up for him, too! Yes, we are all #teamCapricorn! Anywayz, If you’re from Southern California, you know that driving from L.A. to Vegas only takes roughly four hours–which is why so many Angelenos spend the weekend there (some even every weekend). So, it was a no-brainer for me to go to Vegas, since it’s relatively low maintenance (distance-wise) compared to going to New York. But, of course, Vegas is far from being a “low maintenance” destination! However, before we “turned up”, we took a nature detour first to Zion National Park in Southwest Utah.

Lemon Lavender Sugar Cookies

Posted on by tainambrown

Before driving across the country from Atlanta to Los Angeles last summer, Melo and I took a visit to the Dekalb Farmer’s Market to stock up on spices and herbs that would otherwise be too expensive to purchase in California due to the sunshine tax. One of the herbs we purchased was lavender.

Shortly after arriving in Los Angeles I experimented with the lavender: putting it in french toast, tea, and cookies. Oh. My. The cookies. Definitely the best lavender experiment to date. Continue reading Lemon Lavender Sugar Cookies
