You guys. My SLR camera broken and I’m so sad. I made so many desserts yesterday in hopes of posting photos and recipes up on hurr, only to find that my camera has become defunct! As a 5-year old camera, it had a good run, but that now means I’m on the hunt for a new shutterbug. Any suggestions are welcome – this past one was a Canon Rebel XS.
As the city of San Francisco poured rain (probably in sadness over my broken camera), I took a road trip down to sunny Santa Barbara to visit friends and see my brother. Y’all know that I’ve visited Santa Barbara before; it’s something I never grow tired of. It’s a beautifully relaxed town with friendly people, great fish tacos, and of course, the beach. And when I get to spend my Friday afternoon drinking micheladas a stone’s throw away from the ocean, there is little else to complain about.
A usual haunt of mine when visiting Santa Barbara is Boathouse at Hendry’s Beach. It’s upscale without seeming so, with great margaritas and fresh and delicious tacos – and y’all know how much I love tacos. To date, I’ve had their vegetarian, fish, and lobster tacos and I can’t decide which ones I like more!
I’m afraid posts will be a little delayed until I find a new camera, so I hope that your Christmas and long weekend is filled with the most tasty of treats. I can’t wait to see what people are cooking and eating, and find me on Instagram to follow what I’ll be doing!
Happy holidays!

OMGosh, I am crying for you! I can’t imagine being without a camera! I’m afraid I’m not going to be much of a help. I use a Nikon D750 and I love it, but have no Canon experience. I hope you get the camera of your dreams for Christmas – whatever brand it may be! These were fun pictures to see – thanks for the post! Happy Holidays!

I ended up getting a Tamron lens and I LOVE IT. Mission accomplished!

Awesome post! I lived in SB for over 3 years and worked at FishHouse (Boathouse’s sister restaurant) and have spent many afternoons at Hendry’s Beach. So fabulous. I sure do miss it there! <3 xx, Tiffany | http://www.sunshinedaydreamphotography.com/
