A Day of Girlie Fun in the Sun

No Comments 14 May 2013

Bright and summery manis, fabulous brow shaping and yummy treats? Sign me up! It was a day of pampering when I was invited to the #OnTheGoBeauty event on the rooftop of the Thompson Hotel in Beverly Hills. It was also the perfect opportunity to spend some time (and no money!) with one of my out-of-town friends who was ready for a little R&R and a whole lot of fun.

Where the Wild Things Are

No Comments 24 March 2013

A two-toed sloth named Lola, a few prickly yet totally zenned out porcupines, feisty and furry four-pound foxes, and the most adorable merry-making monkeys who just happen to have a penchant for umm, golden showers. Oh yes, it's just another day at the Wildlife Learning Center in Sylmar.

Hot New Pick: The Corner Door

No Comments 14 January 2013

Looking for a cool bar where you can have ridiculously good food? I found just the place. It's the Corner Door on Washington Boulevard in Culver City, which is really the new Restaurant Row thanks to this place along with Waterloo & City and A-Frame. (Although admittedly W&C is kinda hit and miss.) I wasn't expecting too much when I first decided to check it out because, let's be honest, the Corner Door sounds like just another gastropub. But I have no problem admitting I was wrong. This place rocks!

Din Tai Fung is Oh So Fun

1 Comment 06 January 2013

So the other day my fiance and I decided we wanted to get away from the Westside for just a little bit and go somewhere to eat. Somewhere that would be worth drive. Downtown LA? Nah, there all the time. Silver Lake? Uh, don't think I can take seeing another skinny guy in skinny jeans so early in the morning. Need somewhere farther. That's when Din Tai Fung popped into my head. It was time to embark on the 45-minute drive to Arcadia.
