San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade

March 11, 2015

We popped up to the city for a fun weekend celebrating the Chinese New Year Parade– as only the Ritz-Carlton could do it!  For years I have wanted to see the San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade so my husband agreed to finally give it a try. It was so fun and I recommend going if you are planning on being in town for the Lunar New Year festivities.


Louis tagged along!

First up dinner at the bar with the BEST cheese plate ever.  That foam is honey!  So good we almost ordered a second.

The next morning we went off for a walk before everything got started.

The parade was incredible and so full of energy.  The best was how close it was to the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco! We walked out the hotel and down a block and were right there with the best views.


After we had a tasting dinner at the restaurant.  One of the most interesting meals ever!  So good.  Just don’t fill up on bread because SOOOO much food is on the way.

Overall, we loved the experience and how great the hotel was.  We can’t wait to go back.

About Me

I started Haute Beauty Guide in 2008 as a way to stay in touch with my skincare clients between appointments. At first, I only covered skincare but HBG grew with me as my life evolved— from traveling around the world, heading back to college after taking a long break, buying our first home, to getting my first gray hair! Monterey is my home and I take the lifestyle here to heart.

You my sweet girl dream BIG nothing is out of reac You my sweet girl dream BIG nothing is out of reach. 

I’m not @kamalaharris biggest fan but watching her take the oath of office while hold I have my two-year-old little girl I realize just how big her future dreams can be. So many emotions were brought up today. My grandmother immigrated here 66 years ago after she was thrown out of her family for constantly dreaming too big. She told me everyday I could be anything I wanted.  Grandma was adamant that I studied what I wanted, travel where I wanted and be what I want. She made that possible for me. 

I wish she could see the first woman Vice President sworn in today.

Glowing Greens Detoxifying Facial Cleansing Gel - Antioxidant-rich Seaweed helps to gently dissolve away skin impurities and toxins while replenishing skin’s hydration. Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free. I used this as a morning cleanse or second cleanse at night. 

Skin Renewal Serum -  A nutrient dense serum perfect for renewal of the skin.  An all in one style serum packed with hyaluronic acid, vitamin c, anti-oxidants and Moringa oil.  I used this am and pm to help with hydration levels. 
 I found my skin was plump and retained moisture all night.  Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free.

The Great Barrier Reef Cream - My favorite of the bunch.  The texture is light and creamy.  It absorbs quickly.  California Sea Kelp Actives, rich in essential nutrients and polyphenols, fortifies and hydrates skin’s barrier.  This is a gorgeous day cream.  It paired well with my SPF and foundation without any piling or caking.  Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free.
