We Eloped During the Pandemic!
I am sure you all know by now that I am officially a married woman! Wohoo! After 20 + years, Adam and I finally tied the knot! And as I am sure that you ALSO all know, our wedding did not go as planned! LOL! We originally decided to get married at Adam’s Grandma’s house. She has a massive backyard surrounded by these beautiful trees and plants. It’s a very special place for us (His parents even got married there as well). We planned a very small wedding ceremony of about 25 people. We budgeted everything under $3k (which I am quite proud of by the way) and were good…

Allow me to reintroduce myself!
Hi I’m Starr! My jams include fashion, beauty, and art!

Malibu Cafe and my 35th Birthday!
I had the BEST time celebrating my 35th birthday (I know, 35?!! yikes!) at the Malibu Café! It’s one of my favorite hidden spots in Malibu! Sadly the grounds were majorly affected by the recent Southern California wild fires but Luckily! They were able to salvage and rebuild! Wohoo! We arrived to a packed house and were so surprised that it was “Bring your puppy day”! Malibu Café is normally dog friendly anyway, so we already planned to have Pippi tag along but I was in Puppy heaven so to speak! Dogs upon dogs everywhere! They even had “free puppacinos” for all of our four legged friends! They also set…

Pumpkin patch time!
One of my favorite activities to kick off the Fall season is visiting the pumpkin patch! This year we headed to Seasonal Adventures which has several locations in Southern California. And boy were we in for a treat! Their pumpkin patches are designed to be a fun safe family experience. It’s a great spot for the kiddos and the young at heart! Each lot has fun activities like the bungee jump, mechanical rides, fun games, a petting zoo, inflatable jump house, giant inflatable slides, and huge inflatable obstacle courses! My favorite part is of course the pumpkins! They have thousands to choose from in all shapes, sizes, and colors! I…
