Dermalogica & Clarisonic Unite: Free Micro-Zone at Dermalogica in Santa Monica

Who wants a free Micro-Zone treatment at Dermalogica on Thursday, March 11th in Santa Monica? I know I do! When I was invited to the reopening of the Santa Monica Dermalogica last October, I really didn’t know what to expect.  That said, I’ve been back three times since. I love, love, love their Micro-Zone treatments.  It’s [...]

On Location: 24 and My Local Macy’s

One of the cool things about living in the metro LA area is all the random filming that’s done around town.  Where I live there’s actually quite a bit.  We’ve seen Family Jewels, CSI, The Closer, The Mentalist, Saving Grace, Super Bad and quite a few other things I either don’t recall or never got [...]

I Love Supporting Women-Owned Businesses

So a while back, I mentioned the awesome LA Cupcake Tour I was lucky to go on thanks to the Best of Tours folks and GM/Chevy.  This time around, the Best of Tours/Chevy gang were partnering with CraveLA for their take on the Best of Women Owned Businesses in Los Angeles. A little full disclosure before [...]

The Hollywood Sign Goes Political: Save the Peak

This weekend the world famous Hollywood sign went a different way and tried some activism on for size. The event was to publicize efforts to raise money to acquire Cahuenga Peak, the 138-acre parcel just to the west of the sign, and add the land to Griffith Park. The parcel of land has been sold to [...]

Sometimes I Gal Just Needs a Little Pretty

This Friday, I was invited to the launch of a new hysterically funny and deliciously offensive mockumentary, Pretty: The Series. After a little bit of a bumpy (but giggly) start with some AV mishaps, we were treated to the first three episodes and a blooper real of the series.  After having reviewed the first episode for [...]

Beauty Blogger, Lauren Luke is Coming to LA

I am not a beauty blogger (nor do I pretend to be one). But I do love me some make up.  And even more so, I like learn what I can about applying make up. I recently discovered beauty blogger vlogger sensation, Lauren Luke.  She’s a Brit that offers up make up tutorials and can teach [...]

A Day of Volunteering: Pinot Days

I should probably start out with stating the obvious….I love wine. That said, pinot noir would have to be one of my least favorite wines.  But I was looking for some volunteering opportunities.  Oh and there was free wine for the volunteers.  And well, free wine is good wine in my book.  So volunteer I did. It [...]

I’m Such the Fashionista: Hanging at the Mart

This weekend is a crazy sort of weekend here in LA.  We’ve got NAMM going on in Anaheim for the musicians out there. There’s the Golden Globes for the movie buffs.  The Home and Gift Show going on at the Convention Center for the retailer. But me, I decided to hang out at the California Mart [...]

Rainy Days, Bloggers and Cupcakes Always Make Me Smile

Sitting in my coastal vacation cabin on a rainy day, I’m reminded of what a fun time I had last weekend in the rain.  Let’s face it, on most rainy days, you don’t want to leave the house.  But for cupcakes, seventeen bloggers will brave the rain!  Even better knowing that it’s a Best of [...]
