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…
Mmmm my fave coffee: local roaster Wilson Coffee. CrossFit Balboa with their Balboa Buzzed blend (pic cred: CrossFitBalboa.com) first introduced me to the Costa Mesa!-based roaster. Then I took a trip over to the place for myself, which, don’t be confused, is NOT a coffeeshop, or really even a storefront. It’s nonetheless charming, and each roast…
I spend a lot of time at the beach, playing beach football and volleyball and walking the dog and taking her to dog beach. But unless friends are visiting, it’s pretty rare that I load up a beach bag and head down with a magazine and beach towel to just “have a beach day” laying around.…
Featured on Ora! I forgot that I gave my baking sheet away in the move because it was a hand-me-down from my parents, probably from their wedding a million almost forty years ago, so it was peeling and burnt black and time for a new one but when I was finally settled in my house and…
“Maybe she won’t notice if I just camouflage” … Someone is a little disconcerted by all the buzz around moving, but ultimately she’s happy in this new spot.

New digs! New digs! New digs! I didn’t post Feel Good Friday on Friday this week because I was so busy getting my apartment together with my parents in town! I LOVE my family, and I am so grateful they came to help me out—Dad needed to clean the garage, install bike hooks, hang things, and, as…
The puppy and I don’t live in Long Beach, so I guess we can’t technically staycation there. But given that it’s basically Orange County, I think we’re still good on calling what we did last weekend a staycation. Basically, we escaped the motel we’ve been living in (I guess also technically a staycation of sorts…)…
Seriously, these 100-cal GoMacro bars are the perfect bite to pop between football games to stay energized without feeling full. Good bars are hard to find, which is why I generally don’t rely on them for snacks. But they’re so convenient! So when GoMacro offered to send me some 100-calorie samples, how could I say no?…
When we went to see my favorite baby child cousin recently, I knew I couldn’t go empty-handed. So I turned to a friend who knows this sort of thing, and she assures me that CUPPIES are THE hot gift (along with Aden + Anais swaddles* for the new, actual, baby) right now. That sweet Kaia seems to…
