I’m a day late but hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! I’m writing from San Francisco, California right now. We decided to spend our last week of the year on the West Coast for Christmas to visit family and friends! I was so thrilled to be able to hit up three cities, San Diego (our hometown), Los Angeles and San Francisco. I’ll have a more detailed travel diary up soon but you can follow along on what we are doing on @beautylookbook Instagram Stories. It’s been two years since we left San Diego and my first time back since then. My heart has been filled with so much joy as we’ve been reunited with friends and family. I’ve been trying to live as much as I can in the moment so I haven’t been posting as much but I have some beauty reviews coming up very soon that I’ve been working on so stay tuned!
City guide, packing post, travel beauty picks and more to follow soon. So many of you have asked about our favorite food spots in San Diego and I’ll compile a list of our favorites. We were in town only for a couple days but made it back to Mission Cafe (best one is in Hillcrest), Indigo Grill, Pho on 5th and of course In-n-Out Burger. After being on a very strict healthy diet back home for the past 6 months (mostly chicken, brown rice, sweet potatoes or some kind of vegetable) we decided to indulge in a full cheat week with all the amazing food on the West Coast. I’ve been busy getting my fill of bread, dumplings and pastries.
A quick peek at some places we hit up in San Diego – Coronado, Los Angeles and San Francisco. I was also so thrilled to be able to visit my good friend Rachel of @beautyprofessor and finally meet her adorable baby Johanna. This is such a precious age and I’m happy I was able to see her!
All the things I packed to follow in a more detailed post, but above wearing the Everlane Cashmere Crew, 7 For All Mankind b(air) Skinny Jeans, Make and Model Cozy Up Cropped Hoodie in Grey, Loft Cable Knit Sweater, Vince Moto Jacket (old style, similar here), Converse Chuck Low Sneakers. Also been living off the IGK Jet Lag Dry Shampoo for the nights I’ve been too tired to wash my hair. We also put our Away Everywhere Bags to the test for the first time and I can say hands down it’s the best travel bag I have ever used. Andrew was also impressed after testing it!
Hope you all had a great holiday! Sending you lots of love from California right now.
California has to be one of the most beautiful places in the United States. I really enjoyed your photos.
I miss California soooo much! I can’t travel back home to the Bay Area because flying = no bueno right now because of the chronic pain but OMG I MISS IT!
What a pleasant surprise! Can’t wait for more!
Wonderful! I miss CA terribly-left ten years ago and never got back. Can’t wait to read more about your adventure! Also, what a fab pic with my other fave beauty blogger, Rachel. Two gorgeous, smart, stylish women.
San Francisco is just so pretty! The Painted Ladies are such a classic💕

It looks like a great fun trip Sabrina !! Thanks for sharing the pictures. I would love to visit the west coast this year. Hope you had a great Christmas 🎄
I wouldn’t travel to San Francisco if you paid me. That once proud city is now a sewer of homeless people, drug needles, and human feces on the streets. San Diego is still safe and so is Coronado Island. thank GOD. I hope someone in their right mind cleans up SF for the sake of the whole country.
San Francisco is the the place I dream to visite, and I ofter see it in the movie or in the TV series, so I have working hard and save up to visit there, thank you for sharing the beautiful pics.
