5 of the Best Tourist Places to Go to When In San Fransisco

Exactly on year ago today, I was on a trip in San Fransisco, and like Timehop loves to make us feel, I am feeling nostalgic. This was on of the best trips I have ever been on and in the four days I was in California, I completely fell in love with the city. Here is a list of five of my favorite places we went on our stay in beautiful San Fransisco.

1. The Golden Gate Bridge Hike

This hiking/driving trail is located just on the other side of The Golden Gate Bridge. Most of the hike is done by driving, however, if you really want the true experience of being up above the bridge & in the clouds, there is a portion of the trail just for walking. The view is breathtaking.

2. The San Fransisco Flower Market


This flower market is like no other, it takes up about two blocks of buildings, & is filled with any the of flower you can imagine. From peonies, to tulips, lilacs, to succulents, The San Fransisco Flower Market has it all.

3. 16th Avenue Tiled Steps

Although hiking down to the bottom (or top) of the steps is nearly exhausting, the view from the bottom or top is stunning. If you are standing at the top of the stairs, you get a view overlooking the ocean and a nice chilly breeze. However, what you see when you have reached the bottom of the stairs is far more rewarding: handmade mosaic artwork of the sun and moon.

4. Mr. Holmes Bakehouse

Famous for its bright neon pink letters, Mr. Holmes Bakehouse was my favorite part of this trip. The Bakehouse has many delicious desserts to choose from, but you're going to want to get there early because the line is out the door! Be sure to take a picture with the "I got baked in San Fransisco" sign before you leave!

5. The Painted Ladies

Other than the Golden Gate Bridge, I would say that these houses, known as The Painted Ladies, are the face of San Fransisco. These stunning houses line the street, & are painted in vintage detail, and will make you feel like you are on the set of a 90's tv show.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
