Front Row at the Rose Parade

Time flies when you're having fun ... It was my FIRST TIME ever attending the Rose Parade, let alone covering it for TV!! It was a fabulous way to kick off the New Year and I loved meeting so many people from around the state, country and world. (Including the two most ridiculously adorable girls from Hiroshima, Japan.)

5 Fall Fashion Must-Haves

Ah, fall. I love this time of year when things get a little cozier and sweater weather is in full swing. You can pore through all the fashion magazines telling you to buy dozens of different products ranging from insanely expensive fur coats to some hideous lug sole boots, but ultimately it's going to be about getting what YOU want and choosing what's right for your own lifestyle. That said, there are some wardrobe staples you should consider adding to your closet that will keep you warm and looking good all season long.

The World’s Fastest Car … and Waffles!

Listen up, foodies and oenophiles: Get ready for a ridiculous amount of fancy food, fancy drinks and fancy rides during the Beverly Hills Wine Festival going on November 15-17. It's three days of total luxury, so what better way to kick off the festivities than with a ride in a volcano yellow McLaren?! It's the world's fastest car topping at about 206 mph and costs around $300K. Like I said, ridiculous.

Sting Sings at a Magic Shop in Santa Monica, WHAT?!

So I was one of the very fortunate few who got to enjoy a mini showcase from some artists on the Cherry Tree Record label. One of the artists being Sting. Yes, Sting as in STING. Even better, Sting would be playing one of the most seemingly random non-music venues: Magicopolis in Santa Monica. Yes, as in Magicopolis, that place I've walked by a million times but had never stepped inside ... until now.

Weekend Getaway: El Encanto

Even though it's just a couple of hours up the coast, it had been at least a year since I'd been to Santa Barbara. So my fiance and I packed our bags and headed north for some rest and relaxation in one of the most gloriously lush, peaceful and secluded places in this historic town ... El Encanto.

Top 5 Ways to Get Glowing Skin

Tired of looking tired? Done with being dull? (Skinned, that is.) Yeah, so am I. Unlike my fiance and every other man I know who follows no beauty regimen whatsoever yet somehow has flawless skin, I was not born with a perfect complexion. (Thank goodness for the overexposure options on Instagram!) But clear glowing skin can be achieved. I asked some well-qualified experts for their top tips on getting gorgeous glowing skin ... no airbrushing required.

TRICK OR TREAT: Elvira, Coffin Go-Karts & Eye-Popping Corn!!!

Elvira, Coffin Go-Karts & A Guy Who Pops Corn From His Eye!

Halloween is always a fun time of year because I looove to dress up in costumes. (Notice my Mar-iposa ensemble?? Cute and kinda clever, right?) Well, even though I could do without the zombies, blood and gore that this spooky un-holy-day brings, somehow I ended up at a place called Abracadaver where I rode on a coffin go-kart, hung out in a limo hearse with the next-generation Elvira, and STAPLED A DOLLAR BILL to a guy's forehead ON LIVE TV after he had just popped out a corn kernel from his eyeball!! You won't believe YOUR eyes!!!

Wacky Halloween Workouts & Travis Barker’s Vegan Hot Spot

Workout getting boring? No probs. Halloween is here, which means it's the perfect time to step out of your fitness rut and make it fun. Dress up like a superhero (or, in my case, a green-mulletted 80s party girl) and get a jump on losing the five pounds you know you're gonna gain over the holidays. And to help keep you on the svelte and narrow, check out Crossroads, LA's vegan mecca that is making believers out of meat eaters. I got co-owner Travis Barker from Blink 182 to stop by the show to talk about all the plant-based goodness. It rocks!

Tower of Terror & Halloween Time @ Disneyland!!!

I can't believe my job today was to be absolutely TERRIFIED! It all started out so fun and easy hanging out with Goofy and the Evil Queen, but then I boarded the The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror - ZOMG! I am traumatized for the rest of the Halloween season. Go on that ride at your own risk.

(Falling) On the Ice with the Anaheim Ducks!

What the puck?! LA is in the middle of major Dodger fever, but Orange County is amped up for the new ice hockey season with the Anaheim Ducks. I got my own personal slapshot lesson with #44 Sheldon Souray and despite what my co-workers said, I did not fall on purpose just so he could pick me up. (Although it wasn't a bad way to get back on my feet!)

Marpop in the Mud!!!

I spent a very cold, very early morning checking out just a few of the obstacles at the annual Gladiator Rock'n Run .... all I can say is, these people are crazy! The mud was freezing and goopy and grainy but oddly soothing. I was assured it was the cleanest dirt around, so at least we got the first run through it. Even so, next time I do mud it'll probably be a spa treatment.

Princesses & Ghosts on the Queen Mary

Did you know that Princess Diana was the first Royal to auction off her clothes for charity? She also wasn't afraid to wear the same gown twice ... or thrice. LOVE that about her! About a month before she died, she auctioned off a number of her dresses and those same dresses are now aboard the Queen Mary ... along with a few otherworldly elements.
