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 […]
Being born in Pasadena, I got to say, I have stayed very partial to it. From the Huntington Library to Lake Avenue, and nearby gems of cities like San Marino and Sierra Madre, I have always loved returning to this metropolis city just outside of […]
(Editor’s Note: Thoughtfully is a fantastic gift box mail service that I love. What’s a girl to do when she is invited to their BBQ party at their Irvine headquarters but, alas, is out of town? I send my right hand gal, Melanie! Read on […]

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 […]
I was not much of a Marvel fan too long ago. I know what you might be thinking, What?! She’s nuts! How can she not like The Marvel Universe?! Well, it was not that I was not a fan of Marvel and the films, but, […]
Have you ever been to Tam O’Shanter Inn? While I’ve driven by this historic restaurant countless times on Los Feliz Boulevard, I have still not yet experienced their eclectic Scottish cuisine. Since I’ll be attending their Brander Vineyards Winemaker Dinner this Wednesday, I decided to […]
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 […]
As you can tell, I am partial to the California Central Coast. Maybe because I spent a number of years there, or maybe because these Central Coast of California towns along The 101 just ROCK so much. Today, I am excited to at last share […]
