Episode 7: From food pics to a foodie account & favorite santa barbara restaurants with sarah chhum of sb good eats

In this episode, I chat with Sarah Chhum, the creator of the popular Santa Barbara instagram account, SB Good Eats. Sarah and I met through the Instagram world, and we bonded over our love of Santa Barbara’s incredible restaurant scene (and Bettina pizza). 


What began as a place where Sarah could simply post her own food photos, quickly grew into one of Santa Barbara’s top Instagram accounts. We dive into food photography tips, social media monetization, travel, cooking, and how people can (negatively) react when you stray from posting your typical content. We end our conversation with rapid-fire, honest questions and answers about Santa Barbara dining.


Listen in to hear us talk about some of our go-to spots for: happy hour, date night, lunch, cocktails, celebratory dining, brunch, and takeout.


As always, if you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, share, and/or leave a star rating and review. Thank you!

Gotta love a DIY project! I had some matchbooks sa Gotta love a DIY project! I had some matchbooks saved, and then we were also gifted some vintage ones! For a first-time project, I think they turned out pretty well! 👏🏻 

Collect your matchbooks and get all the craft materials here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/thebetslife/list/2F6IQ1Q2X7X35?ref_=aipsflist 🛒 

- Mod Podge your matchbooks and matchsticks. You can use a small paint brush or a sponge brush. I found that I had some discoloration on the white/lighter boxes, so maybe do a couple of coats on those to be safe? Or maybe go for darker colors? I did one coat of Mod Podge on everything. I let everything dry out for a day (although, I don’t think you would have to wait this long).

-  Follow the instructions on the box of the epoxy resin. Wear gloves and mix equal parts, stirring together for a few minutes. I mixed in plastic red cups that I later disposed of. Fill the coaster mold cups halfway with the mixture. 

- I waited 1 hour until the mixture was a bit tacky and then I added the matchbooks. The matchsticks/books may move around a bit, and you can always use tweezers to reposition.

- I waited 5 hours and then filled the rest of the molds up to the top with more epoxy resin. Leave molds for 24 hours and then remove. The coasters should pop out easily! 

What do you think of these? Let me know how your coasters turn out too! Share this video with your DIY/crafty friends. 🥰
