I can't believe fall fashion is already here. I am still dealing with the humid, hot weather in SoCal that it's so hard to even think about cozy sweaters and knee high boots! After reviewing the looks for 2018, here are the trends I love and loathe for this season: Love Reds Oh, I am [...]
For my 38th birthday this year, I decided to go back to Europe to a magical and picturesque place called Iceland. To be honest, Iceland was never on my bucket list to visit. One of the reasons I booked this trip was because I was dying to get back to Europe and was searching for [...]
In weeks past, I have gotten emails from a few readers asking me how I manage to travel all the time yet live in the Greater Los Angeles area (summed up) and if I'm in debt, broke, I spend too much, etc... etc...Basically, how am I making this work? Coincidentally, my friend Rosy asked me [...]
My friend Payal lives in Westwood and I live in Oxnard. We hadn't seen each other in awhile, so we decided to meet halfway and stop at Malibu Farm Restaurant for a good meal.

There hasn't been one recipe that [...]
For my Sunday Funday, I decided to trek to Ojai and get my drink on at the 32nd annual Ojai Wine Festival with my friends Lena, Nicole and Fred. All proceeds supported the Rotary Club of Ojai-West Foundation. So I am not going to lie to you guys: wine festivals are expensive. I have seen them go [...]
After years of saying I am going to visit this place, I finally made my way to Lake Tahoe for a long Memorial Day Weekend. I had heard of how crystal clear the lake is and just the peace and serenity of the whole place. With my life being busy, I needed that kind of atmosphere! [...]
As far back as I can remember, the very first thing I ever baked with my mom was chocolate chip cookies. This is by far the ultimate, most classic dessert of all time that I love baking. Unfortunately, when I moved out of my parents house to come to LA 8 years ago, I hadn't [...]
On my Sunday Funday, I decided to check out the Fillmore and Western Railway's Steam Rail Festival. I had always heard and seen photos of the railway, and after browsing upcoming events in the SoCal area through Facebook, it was the perfect time to go and check it out! According to the festival website, the festival is [...]
