The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk exhibit at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, CA - © LoveToEatAndTravel.com
“Beauty exists everywhere”
- Jean Paul Gaultier
Calling all fashionistas! You won’t want to miss this dynamic exhibition devoted to celebrated French haute couture designer Jean Paul Gaultier, one of the most important designers of our era. It is without doubt one of the most creative and extraordinary exhibits we’ve ever seen. And what better place to see it than at the de Young museum in San Francisco – the exclusive west coast venue. As you enter the exhibit, you’ll see lifelike animated mannequins, draped in signature Gaultier designs, illuminated against a royal blue backdrop — it couldn’t be more visually stunning. Some of the mannequins’ facial features and movements are so lifelike and surreal, you’d swear they were human… we kid you not! Watch the video below and see for yourself.
Godfathers Burger on Whole Wheat Bun with all the trimmings at Godfathers Burger Lounge in Belmont, CA - © LoveToEatAndTravel.com
We’re always on a quest to find that perfect hamburger. And our latest favorite place doesn’t disappoint. Not only are these 1/2-lb fresh, all-natural gourmet Angus Beef burgers grilled to juicy perfection, they come served with all the trimmings on a deliciously light gourmet sesame seed (or whole wheat bun, pictured above) delivered fresh daily by Le Boulanger). And wait until you taste their “can’t-have-just-one” Sweet Potato Fries – they’re killer!

“Enlightenment is understanding that there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, and nobody you have to be except exactly who you’re being right now.”
Special birthdays deserve special celebrations. This year, I decided to do something of a spiritual nature to celebrate my birthday – so, instead of stuffing my face (I love to eat), I decided to feed my soul (how Californian does that sound)!
Wanting to share the experience, my husband Barry agreed to join me for an all-day silent “Insight Meditation” Retreat at Spirit Rock Meditation Center. Insight Meditation (“Vipassana”) is a simple technique that begins with focusing attention on your breath – a practice that can lead to better concentration and a calmer mind, ultimately allowing one to be more fully present and aware in each moment.

This year, St. Patrick’s Day (March 17) falls on a Saturday, so you can bet that there will be plenty of celebrating going on that weekend around the world – and especially throughout Ireland (Cork, Dublin, Galway and Limerick all have big parades.)
What better time to “Celebrate All Things Irish” with your family and friends than at a FUN St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival in your hometown.
