I grew up in Southern California and absolutely love everything about living in America’s Finest City, aka: San Diego. When Verizon Wireless asked me to be an ambassador for their #MoreSoCal campaign, I couldn’t have been more excited!

You’re probably wondering, what is the #MoreSoCal campaign? Participants are encouraged to share what they love about Southern California! The weather, the people, the cutting-edge fashion, the entertainment. SoCal is where people go to see and be seen. Anyone who wants to participate can simply Tweet or post a photo on Instagram about a SoCal experience they can’t get enough of using the hashtag #MoreSoCal. The collective posts using the #MoreSoCal hashtag creates an unique image gallery of all the amazing things we’re able to see and do in So Cal.

As a part of their Ambassador program I have been actively Tweeting and Instagraming my amazing SoCal experiences with my brand new LG G pad compliments of Verizon. Having this device has made me a lot more efficient in getting work done and staying connected while enjoying San Diego.

Here are a few snapshots of why I love and want #MoreSoCal. These photos were taken in the few short weeks the campaign has been running so you get an idea of just how fantastic SoCal life can be!

Running on boardwalk in SoCal means bumping elbows with bike riders, roller bladers, people tossing footballs, frisbees and even hula hoopers.  A guy set up a station that offered free hula hooping for anyone who wanted to have some fun. I took a break from my run to bring back childhood memories. I soon came to the realization that I was getting just as good of a workout from hula hooping as I was with running so I hula hooped for a good 15 minutes before running off into the sun.

 Baseball season is back and I couldn’t be happier! I love root, root, rooting for my Padres! This snapshot was taken on Opening Day where a salute to our military  was in order before the game. The gorgeous weather and view make the games even more enjoyable.

 SoCal is known for being a pioneer in the healthy and clean eating movement. The two food porn photos are the epitome of healthy yet delicious food in SoCal. I’m enjoying a fresh homemade south west kale salad poolside and then I attended a party where I noshed on delicious gluten-free, vegan version of nachos. The “chips” are sweet peppers and the toppings are fresh beans cooked down with veggies and spices.

You’ve seen scenic views of SoCal on the beach and poolside, but wait, there’s more! Yep, a mountain view is just a short 20 minute drive away. We really do have everything at our doorstep. Here I am wine tasting with my  friends from Gogobot San Diego at Orfila Winery in Escondido, just north of San Diego. I am in love with the scenery!

What are your favorite #MoreSoCal moments? Please share them with me using the hashtag. Feel free to follow me on Twitter and Instagram to check out my lastest #MoreSoCal adventures.
