Something that’s a Summer staple in LA is the array of FOOD and chances to eat more than your fill in one festival stop. It’s hard to believe, but my only experience with this SoCal tradition are my wonderful memories with friends at the Stroll […]
Most weekends will find me & my boyfriend at the movies, maybe the theatre or usually, just chilling on the couch with food & Netflix….because, you sometimes forget that some of the best places for a Saturday night on the town could be the places […]
Driving down Fair Oaks Avenue, it is pretty easy to be reminded why Pasadena could easily be one of the best cities in Los Angeles. The old, brick buildings that are home to delicious restaurants & gorgeous specialty shops on side streets like Union & […]
Most of my best memories growing up in SoCal involve being outdoors. To this day, I love an evening at The Hollywood Bowl or Greek Theatre, or hanging at Disneyland. I have so many fun events lined up for this summer & one we just got to […]

One of my favorite places here in SoCal is Santa Monica; any chance I get, even if it’s just to have a quick-lunch at Whole Foods, people watch at 3rd Street Promenade or thrift for bargains at their Goodwill, I am there. So, when Sally, from food […]
I think anyone who enjoys traveling will tell you that the highlight is always checking out the locals cafes & restaurants. Eateries surround you galore in Carmel-by-the-Sea, as well as their wine tasting rooms & I am so grateful that we were treated to dinners courtesy […]
What I love about social media & blogging is that it has enabled you to make friends or connections with someone in the same building as you, even if you never end up meeting face-to-face. This totally occurred for me at Expo West; I was […]
I have had a new favorite café since December! Follow Your Heart is nestled inside a health food market of the same name located in Canoga Park on Sherman Way. Walking in, you will see aisles lined with delicious, organic foods, vitamins, frozen specialties, baking […]
