In addition to the fantastic reggae concert with UB40 at Pala Casino Spa and Resort last month, I was thrilled to do an overnight stay with Horsing Around in LA where I got to discover just how special and unique Pala’s resort truly is for […]
On my incredible honeymoon to Maui, we managed to fit in a few tours, a Hana Highway (highly recommend avoiding it. I would have much preferred the freedom of a ‘road trip’ along it) and the Maui Gold Pineapple tour. Easily a highlight of the […]
While I live in Los Angeles, that is a pretty broad area to say I reside. My little haven of the city is in the valley; think San Fernando, Van Nuys, Canoga Park. Somewhere I frequent is the Northridge Fashion Center. My hubby and I […]
Living in Los Angeles, food is, naturally, a popular subject. In LA, you can find the good, the bad, the ugly…and the uglier. While a quick cruise anywhere will most likely have a McDonalds and 7-11 available on every other corner, I am thankful that […]
Since my first year with Michael, I have been lucky to have a “spot” we manage to take a visit to at-least once a year. For our first trip, I surprised him on Valentine’s Day with the news that the Along Comes Mary had been […]
It’s no secret how much I love a day in Downtown LA to visit San Antonio Winery. Nestled on Lamar Street, San Antonio Winery is the oldest winery in Los Angeles and celebrating 100 glorious years. Its founders, The Riboli Family, have survived the Great […]

While some may recall Paso Robles, California and its surrounding areas as not much more than cattle ranches and agricultural life, think again. Much like nearby Santa Maria, Paso Robles has come into the wine and travel scene with a vengeance with an adorable downtown, […]
Summer is here in LA, and we all know that means it’s the best time to get your FOODIE on. This weekend alone, two fantastic events will be going down, and, luckily, they are on Saturday and Sunday. No need to choose between anything 😉 […]
Life is funny sometimes. Growing up, I lived on California’s Central Coast for quite a few years (Solvang, in particular). While I felt like there was not much to do living there, I especially did not think much of nearby Santa Maria. About an hour […]
Aloha! So, did I mention that I got married and just returned from a honeymoon in Maui? Indeed I did. While it was both my husband (!) and my first trip to Hawaii, you can imagine how much we researched to find the perfect first […]
Take me out to the ballgame! America’s favorite pastime is at last in season again and living in LA means only one thing: Go Dodgers! While I grew up with a Grandma obsessed with baseball (but, alas, not the Dodgers. Giants and Angels girl for […]
