It's been awhile since I posted a Hot Spot I liked going to, so I ventured over to Orozco's De Ventura with my friend Ana. Ana told me that Orozco's had a healthy selection of Mexican food on the menu, so I thought, hey, why not? :) Orozco's is not on the main drag in Ventura but [...]
Tonight I went to a place my friends have been raving about when they go for a Happy Hour or Dinner called Vino Wine & Tapas Room in Encino. Tapas restaurants are actually my favorite places to eat, so I was thrilled that I was finally checking it out! Entering the establishment, there was Spanish [...]
Before I moved to LA in August 2010, months prior I was networking with a few people I got in contact with from some of my family's friends and my friend's friends. I was going through some old emails to me and this one stuck out the most from I guy named Brian, who owns [...]
Last weekend, I noticed my friends Nicole and Fred had posted photos about The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited featuring the Muppets at the Skirball Cultural Center in LA ($12 general admission) and I noticed that the exhibition opened in June and is ending on Sept. 2! So before it shut down, I decided to go [...]
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. The food source comes from local and organic farmers markets and suppliers throughout SoCal. Trust me, the food tastes really fresh! The [...]
I love to get a good walk in, so when I heard about the Rancho Ventura Conservation Trust's hike to the historic Two Trees, I was all in. I was originally supposed to do this hike back in December, but because of the Thomas Fire, it never happened. Two Trees (Blue Gum trees) is located [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
