I’m not gonna say I’m CELEB famous for my salads, but … I’m pretty damn close. My salads are requested from coast to coast, born in Aspen, created currently in SoCal, spreading across the continent to D.C. and beyond. Here’s how to make the magic. All sourced at Trader Joe’s: Kale $2 Spinach $2 Cabbage $1.50…
Here’s the faux-celeb part of my life—glitz and glam at OC Look 2015, hosted by Orange Coast magazine at a private residence in Newport Coast (where the real celebs live). The glam started with my gorgeous girldate and blowouts at Drybar, where they no longer serve champagne much to our chagrin, so we had to pop…
This post was written during the preparation phase for this article, but I decided to hold it until the article actually came out (in the July issue of Orange Coast magazine). Click over to OrangeCoast.com for the full article. This note from Cali: Your daily dehydrating inspiration: Pain is temporary, lingerie pics in a magazine…
Or, the most amount of selfies I’ve ever taken. The logo tank is the new logo tee, and I have bought (literally) whole-heartedly into this trend. I have roughly 354 tank tops bearing the names of CrossFit gyms, yoga studios, competitions my roommate competed in, etc. that I wear routinely to the gym, to yoga,…
There’s the real thing. Then there’s the Tribathlon (which comes first? hot tub? steam room? or sauna?). And now, there’s the mindathlon, otherwise known as Wanderlust 108, the world’s first and only “mindful triathlon”: a 5K run, a 90-minute yoga class and a guided meditation on the beach … at the Santa Monica Pier on…
In the summer of 2006, I did costume design for a movie called Growing Out while interning at Shape mag and living in Brentwood—so celeb L.A. of me. ALL those clothes you see? I picked ’em out. Designed them, if you will. The movie I worked on is available on Amazon Instant Video ($1.99) and…
It’s basically fact. JJ’s public persona is funny, giving (he has a foundation!), and humble. And he’s the best player in the NFL on my favorite football team, The Texans. Right, and he’s hot. I am so Texan right now. But back to JJ Watt being funny. Channing has Jump Street, JJ has social media. Exhibit A: instagram. (Also…
Celebs always have white teeth. It’s a fact. I never thought of my teeth as particularly un-white, but they sure aren’t sparkling, so when offered a chance to try an easy at-home whitening kit from Smile Brilliant, why not? They mail you the impression kit and a stamped return envelope. You’re responsible for putting some…
Glam like fashion mag grit glam. It’s almost like we’re really in The Hunger Games. Instead of doing conventional movie posters, Lionsgate released these “from the Capitol”, complete with its own Capitol propaganda website: thecapitol.pn. You don’t have to love or even know The Hunger Games to recognize how cool of a promotional tool this…
<— AND THE WINNER IS … WENDY!! Faux celebs like me love being stopped and asked about things they’re wearing—it happens more than you think, especially when you’re wearing as unusual a watch as this. I’ve recently been on a watch search, tired of checking my phone (is anyone getting the sense I’m just tired…
