Moulin Rouge is coming to Broadway San Jose July 8, 2025. Get excited!

In order to kick off this exciting show coming to Broadway San Jose, they held A Sparkling Soiree to celebrate Moulin Rouge taking the stage in San Jose. Held at Left Bank Santana Row, this French, circus themed event included a signature drink, heavy appetizers, cookies, and fun! It was nice to meet those working on the show as well as fellow theater goers interested in helping to promote the event.

As you know, Moulin Rouge is a famous Broadway show which has won numerous awards and also has an award winning cast and crew. I am really excited to see the show in July!

Broadway San Jose hosts traveling Broadway Shows at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts. This is a cool, mid-century modern venue with comfortable seats, amazing acoustics, and close proximity to plenty of parking and delicious restaurants. Attending a show with Broadway San Jose makes for the perfect night out! I highly recommend it.

So, if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, or you plan to visit, be sure to catch Moulin Rouge July 8-13, 2025. Or, catch one or more of the other shows coming to San Jose this summer and next season!

You can learn more at BroadwaySanJose.com.

Can’t wait for to see Moulin Rouge! I hope you see it too!

Thanks for stopping by

SFO Museum Rosie the Riveter

The SFO Museum always has amazing exhibitions within the San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The current exhibit in terminal 1 is Rosie the Riveter, and it is a must see!

As you know, women took over the jobs previously held by men during World War II. This not only helped our country during the war effort, it proved that women can do the same work as men. Love that!

This exhibit shows the work Rosie the Riveter accomplished during the war as well as what they wore and artifacts from the era. It is a nice history lesson to take in while waiting for your flight in terminal 1.

So, if you are flying from terminal 1 anytime soon, check it out! Or, if you are going through a different terminal, arrive at the airport early so you can walk over to terminal 1 and enjoy this important exhibit.

In addition to Rosie the Riveter, there are several other exhibits which are equally enjoyable throughout SFO. Check out SFOMuseum.org and plan your next visit!

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your holiday travels!

Stanford Beauty Brunch fall 2024

Stanford Shopping Center hosted a fabulous beauty brunch over the weekend for local bloggers such as myself. This beautiful event included a delicious catered meal from Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar near Bloomingdale’s. There was also chocolate from Laderach Chocolatier Suisse which was equally delicious. Yum!

The event was intimate with roughly seven shops from Stanford Shopping Center showcasing beauty products and two tables of local bloggers. It was so much fun to meet new local bloggers as well as speak to people in person who I normally only interact with on social media. I love a good party!!

In addition to yummy food and being social, we were able to check out some new and existing beauty products from our favorite shops at Stanford Shopping Center. I fell in love with the Guerlain perfume from Neiman Marcus. I’m trying to decide if I would like to purchase the “Patchouli Paris” or the “Feve Gourmande” as my fall season fragrance. They are both so pretty!

You know me, I love Chanel beauty! Bloomingdale’s showcased their Chanel N 1 collection which includes a must-have mist. I definitely feel like I need to add this line to my beauty routine. Love!

If you have been following along, you know I also love Estee Lauder products. My travel beauty bag is filled with skin care from Estee Lauder because their products are perfect for reviving my skin when I travel. They have new night cream we can use in conjunction with their Advanced Night Repair line. I am obsessed!

Sephora at Stanford Shopping Center showcased skin care from Drunk Elephant which is vegan and improves skin’s firmness. I definitely want to test out their products.

Nordstrom showcased products from Bobbie Brown and I discovered they have an amazing vitamin enriched face base primer which is perfect for my GenX skin. I am definitely adding this to my morning skin care routine. Love it!

Lastly, Dry Bar was also showcasing their services. They are the perfect one-stop-shop for a blowout when you have a special occasions, big event, or just want fabulous hair for the day. Love that!

My favorite products from the Stanford Beauty Brunch:
