X, Y, Zoo time

If you live in the city and need a cheap date or an inexpensive day out then you should visit the zoo! My boyfriend and I went to the San Francisco Zoo yesterday, and it has tons of interesting animals and wild life. Many peacocks, as well, just wander around the area since it's too hard to keep them all in a cage. I must have seen around 4 different ones while we were there.

Surprisingly, very little people were at the zoo, so many animals weren't shy when we came up to look at them. Try and go on a day when busloads of children aren't pulling up, so the animals won't be so scared to come closer.


My favorite animal was the polar bear.


The San Francisco Zoo is only $12 a day for San Francisco residents, or $15 if not.

I just need to say, I withheld myself making a "Where the Wild Things are" comment the entire time.

This Might Just Be For Me...

My favourite places to get cheap, stylish clothes this year were:

Plato's Closet in San Mateo.

Crossroads near Church St. on Market in SF.

Any Forever 21. The down side is that F21 has mainstream, mass-produced clothing that many people have, so I try and go towards the more individual places.

Any Goodwill. Just bring hand sanitizer, haha.
