You can now find a touch of Paris on Pico—YOUPI!!!🇫🇷
I’ve stopped by @ludivine_paris_bakery nearly every week since they opened their cafe a few months ago. It’s a genuine Parisian patisserie run by a French family. I love their caramelized custard caneles (just like the ones I had while living abroad in France), and imho, their macarons are better than Laduree’s (less sweet). Their salmon tartine makes a perfect lunch (the crème fraiche spread with dill and the crusty sourdough bread are absolutely divine!) Can you tell this place puts me in a good mood?! I’m happy to let them expand my waistline 😁💗

I am 100% obsessed with the Big Island of Hawai’i!! Years ago, I made a coworker weep in her office with amazing tales of the Magical Island (my nickname for the place)—night snorkeling with manta rays, viewing Saturn through telescopes on the summit of Mauna Kea, kayaking in an empty bay when a pod of spinner dolphins leaped into the air and invited us to swim with them (no joke—when we dove into the water, they brushed up gently against us…maybe they thought we had food??). This recent trip was full of magic yet again. I was too busy marveling at the wild horses, steaming volcano, and gentle turtles in the water to take many photos, but here’s a little taste of the coolest island, which transforms from an arid moonscape of lava rocks near Kona to a lush valley in the north. I already miss it!! 😩 #ineedatan #bigisland #ilovehawaii #palestpersononthebeach

I got enough probiotics to last a decade, thanks to a fabulous kimchi tasting bonanza🔥👍 The event featured: excellent food & vaccinated friends ✅ Korean-themed decor + matching tees ✅ a happy/tired Sherwin who loved the unmarinated meat (check out his smile on our drive home—last photo) ✅ Thanks for a wonderful time, @elkinmama 💗 Great kimchi selection, @sjna 🥵👏
Holy smokes, we received the most delicious and caloric gift yesterday from good friends—delivered in a cooler shipped from Cincinnati 🥰 Have you tried @graeters ice cream?? We immediately sampled two flavors…dangerously good. Three Michelin stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ #graeters
