Hello, friends! As some of you might know, I just got cubital and carpal tunnel surgery on my arm last week. Okay, so I’m actually pre-writing this post way, way in advance of my surgery date because I won’t be able to type after it, but just pretend my subconscious is speaking to you right now, ok?
While I sit at home recovering, I’m sure this little ol’ blog will be on my mind. I have to admit, I’ve become a little bored with it lately, but I want to switch things up in 2016 and get back to creating posts that I love (and hopefully you’ll love too!) Tell me how I’m doing. I’m on a mission to make this the greatest blog of all time (kidding, kind of), so I’d love to hear from you. If you have 2 minutes, please answer my reader survey. Your answers will help me make AliciaTenise.com even bigger and better. I thank you in advance for your participation!

![THE BEST PLACES TO CATCH SPRING BLOOMS IN @visitpasadena 🌸
After an extremely wet winter, I’m looking for all the spring blooms here in SoCal! Pasadena is only 20 minutes from Downtown Los Angeles, and is packed with some of the most stunning botanical gardens in the area — and definitely should be on your list to visit this spring!
Gardens to Visit in Pasadena This Spring (SAVE this post for later!)
🌸 @descansogardens — look out for Cherry Blossoms in their Japanese Garden, stroll through the Rose Garden and don’t miss the lilacs!
🌸 @nortonsimon — you could spend hours viewing the art here both indoors and outdoors in their Sculpture Garden
🌸 @arlingtonpasadena — a free, three-acre garden that’s home to an orange grove & Yoko Ono’s Wish Tree art installation
🌸 @thehuntingtonlibrary — you won’t want to miss their Cactus Garden, the Conservatory, the Japanese Garden, and the Chinese Garden
🌸 @langhampasadena — enjoy afternoon tea here & take a stroll through their Japanese Garden for Cherry Blossoms!
My fellow SoCal friends — anywhere else I should check out for spring blooms this year? Let me know! 📸 by @foodphotographer [ad]](https://www.aliciatenise.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
