Beach day in the city

Beach day in the city? Yes! It does exist! Of course, it is still early in the spring season, so this is not a swimsuit kind of beach day, it is a delicious meal and take a walk type of beach day.

We started off by enjoying a fabulous lunch at The Beach Chalet. If you haven’t been to the Beach Chalet yet, what are you waiting for? The food is amazing, and the restaurant itself is iconic. It has been there forever. I remember going when I was teenager and in college when I lived in the city. There are sweeping views of the ocean and the beach, and the service is always impeccable. I enjoyed a crab melt with truffle fries, and there were plenty of vegetarian options for my daughter. Love that!

After lunch, we walked over to see the windmills. The flowers were in full bloom and the whole park looked stunning.

I mean, how often do you find a fog-free day in the city, especially at Ocean Beach?! It is so rare! I couldn’t believe our luck! It was a blessing since my daughter was home from college on spring break. I was so happy to give her a sunny day in the city.

If you enjoy lunch, brunch, or dinner at the Beach Chalet, be sure to visit the windmills too! After the windmill, we walked along the beach and enjoyed the waves and the recently cleaned sand. The beach looks amazing right now!

Watching planes take off

So, apparently walking along a trail in Burlingame and watching planes take off from SFO is a thing. Who knew? We recently attended an event at the Marriott in Burlingame. We arrived early and decided to take a walk along the bay. There were many families with chairs set up, people taking a leisurely walk, and the occasional serious runner. As we walked along the trail, my husband told me how his dad used to take him there to watch places take off from SFO. How did I not know this was a thing?

We took a leisurely walk and watched planes take off while also getting a little exercise from the walk. After our walk, we enjoyed lunch at the Flights View Lounge. The food was yummy, and our view of the bay was amazing. We could see the end of the runway from our table, it was fun! If you are local, I highly recommend trying it.

After lunch, we attended an event at the hotel, and I brought in a Midnight Drink from the Starbucks in the hotel lobby. I had never tried this drink before, and I was impressed. I enjoyed it! Yum!

All-in-all it was a relaxing day, and I would walk along the waterfront and watch planes take off again. It was fun! If you are local, I highly recommend it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Dior nail polish summer 2025

dior nail polish summer 2025 review

Dior nail polish summer 2025: Dior Coral Pop nail polish / Dior Sienna nail polish /

The Dior summer 2025 nail polish collection is here! Dioriviera, the summer 2025 makeup collection from Dior, features sun kissed, and vibrant hues. For nails, there is a bright and sparkling coral as well as a sparkling, medium mocha in Sienna. Love these summer polishes!

Shades of pink and mocha are hotter than hot in 2025. So, it is no wonder that Dior is giving us a bright coral and also a Sienna hue for the summer season. These two nail polish colors are right on trend for the moment. Love that!

I tested out both nail polish colors with one base coat, and two coats of color. They are both even, long lasting, and sparkling. Perfect for a sunny summer day. So, without further ado, here are the two Dior nail polish colors for the summer 2025 from the Dioriviera collection.

Dior nail polish summer 2025 | Dior Sienna

Dior nail polish summer 2025 | Dior Coral Pop

Dior Sienna is definitely my favorite of the two colors, and the one I am wearing right now as I type this blog post. That being said Coral Pop is a fun color and will get lots of use this summer season. They are both beautiful, festive colors for warm weather. Love!
