My wild life in San Diego
Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego, home to some of the most divine restaurants |
As I may have mentioned in a previous post I spent a week in the beautiful Californian city of San Diego and what an amazing city it is! I loved the open and friendly atmosphere that immediately enveloped me once I stepped foot outside. The city is filled with delicious restaurants and a colourful history and not to mention absolutely fantastic shopping.
I enjoyed walking to Richard Walker's Pancake House downtown for my ritualistic blueberry crêpes, which were to die for! They were possibly the reason why I came back day after day haha. Also, making daily runs to Ralph's for snacks and just generally soaking up some sun after the dreary winter months back home was an experience in itself.
I picked up a few new makeup items while I was away, Chanel's Soleil Tan de Chanel Sheer Illuminating Fluid and Bronzing Makeup Base. I am very eager to try out these products as I have had my eye on them for some time. I also won a Clarisonic Mia in a silent auction! I will be posting a quick review on my prize soon.
Perhaps the highlight of my trip was seeing Foreigner live on the deck of the USS Midway. It was such an amazing experience, one that I am not likely to forget, considering

I, of course, had to make a trip to the San Diego Zoo. I have to say that it is one of the premier zoos in the world and well worth the visit. I had an absolute wild (no pun intended) time! One of my favorite animals are Polar Bears and I was in for a treat at the San Diego Zoo as one of the bears decided that it was time to go for a swim.

I don't think I have ever realized how graceful Polar Bears are in the water. It was like watching a beautiful dance, I wanted to get in the water with her and trust me that would not be a wise idea. Below is a video I took of the her swimming I hope you enjoy the magical sight!
If you ever get a chance to travel to San Diego the Zoo is a must. I had a wonderful time walking through the city especially in the Gas Lamp Quarter and walking down Market Street. I reccommend taking every possible chance to explore this beautiful city's unique sights, sounds, and cuisine.
