The weather outside may or may not be frightful, but one place isn't having these problems: San Diego. While it does, in fact, rain in Southern California (Tony Toni Tone LIED y'all), the weather is pleasingly temperate year-round. There's an ocean, of course, as well as parks, mountains, and trees with fruit on them(!) in addition to plenty of good food and fun spots to explore. Here's what you should do:

The idea of New Year's Resolutions has become a little outdated--let's be real, it's just too hard to stick to an ambitious diet and exercise regimen after years of enjoying smothered pork chops and excessive couch time. But setting goals and making plans to achieve them isn't necessarily a bad thing, so I'm approaching 2017 with intentions (*buzzword alert*) to help me progress/improve/grow as a flawed human person who's interested in being and doing better.

If you’re lucky enough to be on or heading to vacation (it is that time of year), I learned a few things during a recent trip to Puerto Rico that I’d like to pass on to you:
1. Itsy bitsy bikinis are fun on the beach. Bikini, Hustler Hollywood
2. Good-smelling, effective, water-resistant sunscreen is a must. See itsy bitsy bikini above. Neutrogena Beach Defense, Walgreens
3. A good shaving cream--one that works on, uh, sensitive areas--is a must.

A few years ago, FriendBoy (remember him?) moved to Poland and I promised to visit someday. Well, someday happened last week and I have to say, it was the best trip EVER.
Wandering the hallowed halls of Wroclaw University; the city is dotted with amusing little gnome statues; running through Market Square; my super-modern apartment; trying the local brew (beer is gross, so it was terrible)
My apartment in Wroclaw was in the ‘hood, but the flat
