I Love Supporting Women-Owned Businesses
February 15th, 2010 — LA fun, beauty, biz, check it out, shopping
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
February 14th, 2010 — LA fun, check it out
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
February 1st, 2010 — LA fun, merriment
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
January 22nd, 2010 — LA fun, life
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
January 17th, 2010 — LA fun, eat & drink
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 [...]

Rainy Days, Bloggers and Cupcakes Always Make Me Smile
December 20th, 2009 — LA fun, eat & drink
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 [...]
Chritmas Trees: Live or Artificial?
November 20th, 2009 — LA fun, check it out, memories
I think the last time I had a live Christmas tree I was in high school back in New Jersey. Though come to think of it, I believe once we moved, we went to a large artificial tree. So it must have been even longer still.
Since moving in with my hubs, I’ve been using a [...]
Raise Your Hand If You Love Trader Joe’s
November 19th, 2009 — LA fun, eat & drink
I mentioned the other day that I seem to have a bit of a control issue when it comes to magazines and the winter holiday season. I think that it’s the part cookbook and part gift guide that attracts me so. I’ve also mentioned my love of cookbooks in the past.
This week, my two loves [...]
