Hater.
I am. A hater, through and through when it comes to Southern California.
"Like oh my god, how could you wear like jeans and like a black t-shirt today?!," the sterio-typical Cali girl voice touted to her friends from the safety of their car as I walked past. Some more unidentified, brainless mumbo jumdo was exchanged between the group, before they decided to turn their music up. "LET'S GET FUCKED UP!!! OOOOHHH LET'S GET FUCKED UP!!" the singer of the song yelled inbetween earth shaking baselines.
*shivers*
ANYWHO, my job requires me to come to this souless pit all too often. And so it is with a heavy heart and an upset stomach that I write to you from Newport Beach, California.
I played this trip pretty low key.
Had some meetings
Went on a road trip of Orange County
Watched some of the US Open
(Guy in the black shirt is the owner of Electric, No big deal......)
Had dinner at my usual OC spot
Visited a friend and saw the huge promo budget my newest brand has
OH! and had some more meetings at a tradeshow
Good news is I'm scheduled to be home in just 5 hours, dinner is on it's way
And I'm proudly wearing my favorite ring that I illegaly smuggled past airport security
Take it from me once, shame on me. Take it from me twice....not gonnna happen
-Love you guys

U-da-ho
Oh, our founding fathers would be proud.
Anywho, when Matt surprised me with the fact that he'd gotten the whole weekend off AND planned an entire 3-day getaway for us, I didn't have the heart to tell him I had a deadline that would require me to be in front of the computer all of Saturday and Sunday.
So, I packed my Nixon catalog and laptop up, and we headed North.
Lava Hot Springs turned out to be nothing more then an overcrowded tourist trap. So we decided to turn left when all of the signs said to go right, in search of our own adventure. GREAT idea, because what we found were secluded creeks and reservoirs perfect for 2 days of
camping
Rising with the sun
Floating
And gourmet dinners
But after 2 days of "roughing it", neither of us could ignore the temptation of civilization that was Lava Hot Springs.
A hot meal
Shopping
And joining fine people like these
(heehee) to float the local river.
That was yesterday. Today, it's off to Newport Beach, CA. Wish me luck.
-Love, Amber

Toes on the nose
By now, some of you may know I work for a longboard company that we run right here out of Salt Lake City
(with the occasional/quite frequent trips to California for photo shoots)
Tonight, one of my accounts hosted a long board demo in Provo Canyon; so we headed south to fly the GoldCoast flag and represent.
(That's my "don't eat S*&T" face)
The whole family was in attendance, from the team pup
to our close friend's mini's
Who at 5 and 8, have been shredding since they escaped the womb. So rad
And for the umpteenth time, I was blown away by the beauty of the place I call home
Utah, I love you
