You know I like taking you to fun Seattle events, so if you weren’t able to make it to Bumbershoot 2025, I’ve got you covered! 

Bumbershoot is a Seattle music and arts festival that’s been taking place over Labor Day Weekend since the early ‘70s. 

It’s at Seattle Center, which is fun to bop around! I always love this venue because there is so much shade and so many good spots to sit!

My BF and I attended Bumbershoot on Saturday this year! Not only was the music fun - I loved Indigo de Souza and Bright Eyes- but there was so much entertainment (aerial performers! skating!) and art to check out like the Vanishing Seattle exhibit. 

Fun fact: Bumbershoot means umbrella, but luckily there was no rain in sight!

Seattle Hot Tub Boats: Would You Try This?

Did you know you can rent a hot tub that floats on a lake in Seattle?

Hot tub Boats are kind of a thing here, so I had to try it out. 

As a Seattle media personality and content creator, I love showing my audience the coolest things to do, so check out the reel below!

Bite of Seattle 2025: Hosting 'The Bite Cooks'

What an honor to emcee ‘The Bite Cooks’ for the second year! I hosted 14 live cooking shows and cook-offs with celebrity chefs, local culinary icons, and YouTube personalities during Bite of Seattle- one of the largest food festivals on the West Coast!

Had a blast talking food and helping chefs share their stories while keeping the energy high in front of a live audience!

It was especially meaningful because I’ve interviewed hundreds of chefs in the local Seattle food scene, so many of these cooking demos were also reunions!

Here’s a mini-roundup of my weekend:

New Entertainment Host Reel!

I am so excited to share my new entertainment news reel with you! I’ve been making a few different reels, and this one features some of my music and pop culture commentary, interview moments with actors, and filling you in on your daily entertainment news. You’ll also catch fun moments with K-Pop superstars BTS, Selena Gomez, Kerry Washington, Robin Williams, Joe Biden, Kate Hudson, the cast of ‘Cobra Kai’ and more.

Thank You

To my amazing viewers, thank you for welcoming me into your homes every day. 

It’s been a massive honor hosting a live lifestyle/talk/entertainment show for you. I loved developing and launching it with a small team. Getting to interview local chefs and business owners and introduce you to your next favorite spot was so meaningful. I loved delivering your daily entertainment news here in Seattle and reporting live from events in the area every Friday. Developing my opinion on trending topics was such a fun challenge every day. I’m so proud of the celebrity interviews I brought you, and hope you enjoyed them, too. 

I feel good knowing I gave 100% every day. It took a lot of hard work to make it look easy, and I hope it looked like I was having fun, because I was. I’ll miss being part of your lives in this capacity, but keep a lookout for all the fun new content and PNW adventures to come. 

I’m beyond proud of what I created. Stay tuned for what comes next, but I wanted to acknowledge the closing of a chapter and how much the show meant to me. Thank you for watching and spending your days with me!

Swimming with Sharks!

If you could go eye to eye with sharks, would you do it?

I took the plunge, and couldn’t believe how many different shark species I got to see underwater while swimming with sharks! Below is a snippet of my experience!

Something that surprised me was learning that humans are more of a danger to sharks that they are to us- we actually lose 10,000 sharks an hour, mostly due to overfishing. So if you eat seafood, please choose sustainable options to help our shark friends!

Would you go swimming with sharks?

If you’re interested in getting up close and personal with sharks, anyone over the age of 8 can actually do this at Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma! No diving or swimming experience necessary.

Shoutout to the amazing team at Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium.

Chase Stokes & Keith Powers Interview (Imposter Syndrome, Beauty & Humor!)

I had the pleasure of talking to actors Chase Stokes and Keith Powers -- about beauty, imposter syndrome -- and how to feel comfortable in your own skin!

Halle Berry Interview (She Gets Real About Action Movie Injuries!)

I had the honor of talking with Halle Berry about her WILD action movie injuries, how she developed her confidence, what it took to earn cool mom points, and if she thinks she’d make a good real-life spy!

Ice Cube Interview: The Ingredients for "A Good Day"

When I got an email asking if I wanted to book an interview with Ice Cube, I thought, “immediately yes!” He’s a legend!

He shares his ingredients for “a good day” and reveals the moment he knew he was meant for the big stage!

I sat down with the cast of Cobra Kai to find out the cast’s first impressions of each other,  which cast member they think would be best to be stuck on a deserted island with, and what they REALLY think about Seattle’s Gum Wall and catching a fish at Pike Place Market!
