Candlemaking

November 12, 2017 Vivian Lee Hu

My sister Jinha hosted a candle making party Sunday afternoon. She melted down the wax for us and we added our selection of essential oils from lavender to honeysuckle and roses. We all decorated our own containers and they all ended up really cute!

My husband made a super pig candle below and we made Wonder Woman together on the right:

Meanwhile...Bori watched us for a while...

Cool range of creativity:

Another cute cup candle:

Just have to wait 24 hours for them to settle. Can’t wait to use them! Thanks Jinha!

Hiking in a Winter Wonderland at Sequoia National Park

Mar 2, 2019

We headed into Sequoia National Park for a casual day hike at Paradise Creek Trail. We were greeted by a winter wonderland with snow covered trees, mountains, and rolling hills. As the snow continued to fall in large flakes, the world around us turned white.

Snowshoeing Among the Great Sequoia Trees

Feb 23, 2019

We drove out to the Sequoias for a weekend of snowshoeing among some of the biggest trees in the world. We created our own path through the forest, hiking over five to ten feet of fresh powder in peaceful solitude created by the sanctuary of snow, trees, and sky.
