LA Weekly is one of my go-to places to find out about events around town. Whether it’s the latest food craze or some weird, only-in-LA kind of wellness trend like floating in a sensory deprivation tank. Because why not? Stacks of the latest issue of LA Weekly and the 2017 Essentials But one…
This past fall, Kevin and I spent 2 weeks in Japan and loved our time in Tokyo. But it’s not like we can hop on a flight there every weekend. Little Tokyo in downtown Los Angeles is pretty much the next best thing. Though, you won’t find any owl cafe’s…
Kevin and I stayed in LA this weekend (for once!). I figured we were long overdue for a local food road trip. Now, I’m not ashamed to say it — we have a weakness for dumplings. Okay, it’s not the healthy Los Angeles diet regime. But sometimes we just want a little comfort food. Since moving here 7 years…
This past weekend, our friend Kate officially tied the knot and had a destination wedding in Santa Barbara. We had such a blast! Though, such a scenic location can come with a high price tag. But here we’ll share some well-researched ideas and tips to keep your costs low –…
Sunny skies, plenty of snow and gorgeous mountain scenery make Lake Tahoe one of the most desirable ski destinations on the West Coast. But what if you don’t want to ski (or can’t)? That was the predicament I faced this past weekend when Kevin’s old boss invited us up to his snowed-in cabin….

Looking for a special gift? Or a fun night out? We’d recommend checking out the Gourmandise School of Sweets and Savories. Kevin and I have taken a lot of cooking classes over the years, and this certainly ranks as one of the best cooking schools in Los Angeles. What makes this place…
Love it or hate it — Valentine’s Day is almost here. Most couples we know tend to do the typical romantic dinner route. Don’t get us wrong — that can be a truly special night. But why pay an inflated prix-fixe menu, when you can do something unique for the…
January is a great time to visit Palm Springs – sunny skies, cool weather for hiking and plenty of activities and special events like the annual Palm Springs International Film Festival. Kevin’s parents were visiting and knew they’d love it. Plus, you can do a nice combo of hiking in…
Kevin’s parents are in town to escape the cold and gross weather of Washington, DC (only to get some cold and gross weather in LA!). Over the weekend, though, the weather cleared up and we hit the road and headed East into the desert to visit Pioneertown, a weird and wonderful Western town…
