What I've Been Up To! Summer in NYC 2024

Summer in NYC is my favorite!

I made the difficult choice to pause ceramics, which I’ll miss, but i hope to use this time to focus on some other things.

This summer, I had a ballet intensive and tried to do a deeper dive into dance, including contemporary, which I’ve been really enjoying. Dancing is something I’ll never be “good” at, but I’m having too much fun :)

Fun trips Outside the City

We went to a Renaissance fair, Lake George and finally…The Hamptons. As Californians we’ve always heard of the fabled Hamptons, we’ve always wanted to know what was up with it. I’ll say it was much more down to earth and pleasant than I pictured.

Around NYC

The city was sweltering. Everyone seems to relax a bit. I enjoyed going out a lot, but my favorite times were at night when it cooled down a bit.

Summer Produce

We’ve also been frequenting the green markets. I love making bento box lunches. While they are not as kawaii as the ones my mom would make, I definitely love seeing the bright summer colors thrown together in a little box. #eattherainbow lol.

I try making everything from scratch from tortillas, salsa to muffins but having a full time job thing sure gets in the way of my kitchen ambitions :P
