Now, these very well-dressed shoppers would have looked right at home on the “Queen for a Day” show! That’s a pretty snappy fridge for 1941. The older I get, the more I enjoy seeing these vintage ads. I looked up how much a fridge like this would have cost — $250 back then. And, guess what, shoppers? In today’s dollars, that’s a whopping $3,280! My dad was a mailman at the time, and I can’t even imagine what his take-home pay was.
I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
