She keeps dancing on her own.

One of my favorite artists would have yet to be Sweden's very own Robyn. Her unique voice and eccentric sense of style definitely set her apart from the sea of international artists trying to make it big into the music industry.

Here is a four part documentary I found in YouTube about Robyn's journey to fame.

Just click the button to enable the subtitles since all videos are in Swedish :).







Favorite song / MTV as of the moment:
 Call your Girlfriend by Robyn (Body Talk Part 3)

Watch the official video of the song and copy Robyn's one and only dance moves. 
They are to die for.


That's all for now xo!

Downtown.

I absolutely love Downtown San Francisco. It reminds me of New York in a way yet SF has its own distinct features. I admire the busy-ness of every corner and the over-all vibe of the place. It has a good balance of historical places, architecural masterpieces, museums and shopping places. Here are some pictures I took while going around the city.

Food junkie.

I love to eat. The only parts about eating which I absolutely hate are the unwanted cellulites after and the guilt that comes with it. I am a self-proclaimed food junkie and dining is very much my number one guilty pleasure. I enjoy going out to restaurants and trying new dishes.

Here's a list of my new favorite restaurants within California. I absolutely recommend that you visit these places when you're in California.

1. Blackhawk Grille
It is located at the Blackhawk Plaza in Blackhawk City which is roughly 10 minutes away from San Ramon. This particular city is popular for having A-list residents ( celebrities, moguls, business tycoons etc.)

Tiger Shrimp White Sauce Fettuccini
2. Faz
It is located in Danville which is about 15 minutes away from San Ramon. Danville is really known for its diverse selection of cuisines and restaurants. It has dozens of streets filled with different kinds of restaurants and bars. Faz is a contemporary Persian restaurant known internationally.

Best rack of Lamb I have ever eaten.
(Paying $80 for it so worth it!)
3. Stomp!
It is also located  in Blackhawk Plaza. Stomp! is known for its quirky way of serving food. They serve everything in small proportions with cute little plates. It also carries a vast selection of wine and liquor (not for me though haha).


Heavenly Mac N' Cheese
Prosciutto, Cheese & Bruschetta
4. Amber
It is also located  in Danville. Amber is known for their combo sliders which I ordered ( a combo of a Crab melt, Ceasar Salad and Thai curry soup )

5. Ici
It is an ice cream store located at Berkeley. Everything they serve is organic and made in the store. Ici is famous for the wide variety of crazy yet delicious flavors they offer. The best one that I have tasted would definitely be the Mint Toffee Blood Orange.

Long lines are normal at Ici's.
It goes on and on and on.... yet the wait is worth it!
That's all for now xo!
