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…
I wasn’t nervous to hike 23 miles, 10,000+ feet of vert, and for 10.5 hours, although it was something I’d never done before. No, as we set off into the Grand Canyon, I was most nervous that I’d miss out on spectacular views because we’d be too busy hiking. Thankfully, this didn’t turn out to…
If you’re in SoCal (San Diego specifically), get ’em in the flesh: the booty shorts, tanks, and more awesome stuff I haven’t even tried yet.
“This ingredient has become quite the bees knees throughout the past years,” a man says to me in a thick Kiwi accent, charming even while spouting a terrible pun (that I obviously love). I’m on the phone with Russell Cowley, a former top chef in New Zealand in the ’80s who has partnered with a…
Happy Memorial Day weekend! I’m somewhere on my way to hiking the Grand Canyon, with some friends I am very grateful for, but today I want to talk about being grateful for Game of Thrones. And Silicon Valley. Because I watch these two shows with a very important friend of mine, and I am grateful…
“What’s important in your life? This is dealing with things on a different level. All of these are relating to different kinds of stress, where does that stress show up in your life? Digestion? Skin? The adult [Siddha] line has good coverage on where the stress is gonna manifest, so it’s up to the person.”…
I love the rain. I love the contrast to the sunny California days, I love the excuse to snuggle up with a good book or a thousand TV shows, I love the feeling of rain on my body. I LOVE the rain on the beach. It’s been a rainy few days in Newport, and I couldn’t…
Politics of diamonds aside (they have loads of other precious stones anyway), Diamondere is donating 100% of proceeds from sales on its entire site today to relief efforts in Nepal! They already did this on Tuesday. As I’m not actually a celeb, I cannot spend the cash to buy myself a bling ring whilst donating…
