a little Sunday inspiration...

While in San Francisco, I was able to visit with my lovely and talented friend and sometimes travel buddy Nicole. She had me over to her amazing house in Bernal Heights. Her place is fabulous, filled but NOT cluttered (very important!) with great flea market finds, photographs and fun objects. Then I discovered the bathroom and was even more impressed because she did not forget about this bathing space at all! See below...


She even painted an accent wall...and I love the eclectic mix of furnishings. Not your typical bathroom at all...


There was pretty mix of shell/beach inspiration...



Great coral printed window treatments...


The right amount of modern chrome hardware, oh and I think that might be a candle from a flawless beauty favorite le labo, Nicole and I also both love Ambrette 9!


and of course because this is Nicole's house, a touch of humor!

at the spa...

I have made it to San Francisco and was luckily able to squeeze in a few hours of spa time! There are a lot of great spas in the city but I went to my favorite Kabuki Springs & Spa. The ambiance is tranquil, the customer service is great and they have amazingly refreshing product for your use such as cucumber lotion and rosemary shampoo and conditioner.


I am a huge fan of great wet bars, so I chose to visit the Japanese communal baths. For the 20$ fee you have access to the hot pool, cold plunge, dry sauna and a steam room. In this area you will find complimentary bath products, sea salts, chilled cucumber face cloths, light snacks and tea. Womens days are Sun, Wend, and Fri and Mens days are Mon, Thur, Sat. In the past I have also had a massage at Kabuki which was great. With a service you pay 15$ to use the communal baths.
