ace palm springs/ cheekys/ birba

grab a bikini, pack up your pooch and head south east for palm springs. after you boogie down at the ace til dawn, be sure to stop be cheekys and have some of their famous cinnamon roll croissants. you only have to go next door for amazing pizza and vino at birba. my dear friend eiming, owner of 111 minna sf, will most likely be around to have a few glasses with you... ace hotel rooms are spacious and cozy, with record players and private patios w/ bbq pits! triple a discount makes em even cheaper. for 2 people, the total bill came to $380 including drinks, food, room+taxes, and dog fee. sweet deal. you can always bring your own food and drinks, which i'll do next time to save even more money. just dont forget the sunscreen, its scorching!
ace hotel = summer pool party / dog friendly/ great tacos / tons of fun

roz savage: 1 million strokes across the ocean

Roz Savage is currently rowing across the Indian ocean solo, in a bid that could make her the first woman to ever row across three oceans! e is currently rowing across the Indian ocean solo, in a
"You might think that anything you do is just a drop in the ocean. But think back to my ocean voyages. To cross the Atlantic took approximately one million strokes. One oar stroke didn’t get me very far, but together, they added up, slowly, and eventually carried me across three thousand miles. Every action—no matter how small— counts.Today make yours count too.
So please; today for humanity as well as for our oceans, do something to help. Pledge never again to use a single-use plastic bag. Vow to eat only sustainable seafood. Take part in a beach cleanup."
