I am a mother of 3 adults and live in California. I enjoy cooking all sorts of foods and since the pandemic, I prefer to make our favorites from restaurants at home rather than going out simply because I found that the quality, flavor and over all health of making our favorites at home is so much better. I also meal prep for the week for breakfast and lunch which helps cut down on those Starbucks runs as well. Don't get me wrong I enjoy an evening out but I often find myself thinking I could make this at home for less. I am also interesting in learning more about homesteading and prepping food and supplies for times of need. Recently with the pandemic and the weather here I have come to appreciate having stock of necessities but also had to deal with shortages of things I didn't have a back up or stock on hand. I enjoy self care which involves crystals, natural/organic candles, meditation, sound bath/shower, massages, and the occasional spa day. I have Jeep Wrangler and really want to get into more outdoor adventures, car camping, trail riding etc. I have slowly been working on outfitting myself for more adventures but it takes time and money so the process is slow going. I would love to travel more, from day trips, short and long road trips to find new places and meet new people. Ultimately I hope to visit Italy to see where my family is from.
