Can you believe August is here already? That means it's time to start shopping for fall clothes! I am actually more of a fall/winter color girl based on my fair skin tone, eye color and dark hair, plus I enjoy colder weather a bit more than hot, summer weather in SoCal! In SoCal, the lowest [...]
I celebrated my 7 year anniversary in SoCal yesterday, can you believe it? Time really does fly by! I have had so many amazing experiences, lessons learned and memories that have been made. I decided to "celebrate" by sharing the top things I have learned about living in SoCal: 1. Traffic is a bitch. It [...]
I thought I'd do a giveaway to one of my favorite online women's fashion retailers based in LA (and in my opinion, the best online retailer), Revolve.com! Revolve was started in 2003 by 2 gentlemen and has more than 600 employees. They have hundreds of the top designer brands from all over the world for [...]
Earlier in the week, my friend Ana and I decided to hit up EMC Seafood & Raw Bar for Happy Hour in Oxnard. As you know, I am a huge fan of oysters and I was dying to try this place out. The establishment opened in my city in April and is known for their oysters, [...]

My ongoing goal is to cook something different that is delicious and healthy. After I went through most of Maria Menounos' "The EveryGirl's Guide to Cooking" book, I went to my local bookstore and searched online for even more healthy recipes, but I couldn't find any that I was really interested in. I decided to search [...]
Over the long Memorial Weekend, I decided to head east to Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino Mountains. Originally I was going to go to Portland, but with the Memorial Weekend travel prices being so high, I decided to stay local. I am also going somewhere extra special for my birthday [...]
With all of the terrorist attacks and horrible crime happening in our world, I wanted to share with you guys a couple of incidents that I experienced first hand that were both scary and eye opening. Both incidents happened in the SoCal area within the past 7 years. Fashion Island: December 15, 2012 The first [...]
I absolutely love going to Cafe Nouveau for breakfast on a weekend, it is seriously one of the best breakfast spots in Ventura! The restaurant is hosted in a 1920s Spanish bungalow and even has an outdoor patio in a Mediterranean setting. It's so gorgeous, it's a must place to dine at! The restaurant does get [...]
