As a California native I’m especially excited to be talking about this Golden-State themed subscription box! California Found * is a subscription box service that sends selectively curated California-made artisan goods to your doorstep monthly. Products range from beauty to home-good and jewelry.

Calling all tea lovers- there is a subscription box for you! At $15 this box is very affordable and gives you 15+ cups. The best part of this box is the level of customization.

In the quiz you mark your various tea preferences (caffeinated/non-caffeinated , loose-leaf/bagged, desired tea notes, types of teas you want to try, types of tea you do NOT want, level of caffeinated). My preferences were noted to a T, I received partially bagged, and loose leaf tea with a variety of caffeine levels. My box also lacked teas with earthy notes,…

Travel on a Budget
Transportation is one of the biggest costs that goes into traveling abroad. Honestly, I hate paying too much for airline tickets because it cuts into my souvenir budget. This section is going to talk about my favorite budget airline, price comparison website, and my all time favorite travel app. My first recommendation for anyone who wants to travel without breaking the bank is to check out budget airline options in their area. Jori and I were able to get tickets to Paris during high season for around $450 each round-trip flying out of SFO by flying with WOW Airlines. Tickets were around $1000-$1200 during those same dates with other providers. …
