A few weeks ago, I traveled to Portland for work. Just like my last trip, I only had about 30 hours in the city. As I learned last time, it’s pretty amazing what you can do with 30 hours in a city. Since I was able to see so much last time, I decided to…
I received complimentary admission to Halloween at Disneyland. All opinions are my own. Last week, Disneyland invited me to attend their opening night of Oogie Boogie Bash at California Adventure Park. I’ve never been to Halloween at Disneyland or Disney World before, so I had no idea what to expect. What I did learn was…

We’ve been a one-car household for the last decade. At first, it was for financial reasons, and then it became…
Shein provided my tassel dresses in exchange for review. All opinions are my own. On my recent trip to Puerto Vallarta, I wanted to have some fun, flowy pieces. I knew it was going to be hot, and I knew I wanted to be comfortable but put together. I started searching for tassel dresses because…

This post is sponsored by the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project of California. All opinions are my own. Since moving to California in December, I’ve noticed a lot of differences.

This post is sponsored by Lexus. All opinions are my own. Earlier this month, my girlfriends and I took a road trip to Santa Barbara. Although I had been to Santa Barbara a decade earlier for a wine tasting, it was only a day trip, so I didn’t get to experience the city or the…

Recently, my sister and nephew came to visit us in LA. Since I haven’t been here that long, I wasn’t so sure about playing the role of tour guide. I knew a few places around the LA area that I wanted to take them, but several of the places they wanted to visit, I hadn’t…

Originally, I tried a different recipe to create a blood orange polenta cake, but it didn’t turn out so well. The texture was off, or at least, I wasn’t a fan. Then I found this orange polenta olive…
A year ago, when I first started thinking about moving back to southern California, LA wasn’t really high on my list. I always thought I’d end up in San Diego. Then I started spending time in LA and quickly realized just how much it has to offer. Although I still adore San Diego, for me,…
