Kevin and I just got back from our honeymoon — traveling 2 weeks across Spain and Portugal (with MANY blog posts and tips to come!). We recommend doing a stop over in London when visiting Europe. It not only broke up the trip, but it gave us an excuse to see another country. Also, you…
It’s festival season in Los Angeles — and apparently that’s a thing! My gym has been touting all month that it’s time to “get fit for Coachella and Stagecoach.” But what about getting fit for food festivals? Okay, probably not what they have in mind. But you’ll find plenty of…
It’s easy to forget how spoiled we are in Southern California. I still have flashbacks from my days in Boston — trudging through the snow and (irrationally) imagining that I’d never be warm again! Besides the obvious upgrade in weather, Southern California has a lot of advantages including good wine….
Feeling nostalgic for the 1980’s? Kevin and I recently checked out two hot spots in Los Angeles re-creating the glory days. Or maybe just imagine the 80’s if you’re like our 20-year old assistants that miss about every throwback reference we have (and make us feel totally ancient!). The wall…
Los Angeles has no shortage of food festivals and events. And if there is one thing our readers know, it’s that we love to eat! As the official guinea pigs, we’ve compiled our top picks on the best of the best. Our criteria is simple — the more variety (and…
Without a doubt, if you’re looking for one of the most unique things to do in Los Angeles, Lost Spirits Distillery is for you. Located in the arts district of downtown LA, the distillery doesn’t have any obvious signage. But you’ll know when you’re at the right spot when you see…
Kevin and I just got back from our big road trip across Arizona — driving along the famed Route 66 (check out our itinerary here). It’s easy to breeze right on past Phoenix/Scottsdale, but we recommend spending at least 1 day to take in the sights. And besides, how can…
A few years ago — before starting this blog — Kevin and I hit the road on Route 66 driving all the way from California into Arizona. Route 66 is like taking a time machine back to the 1950’s. It’s a slice of a bygone era — a time before…
I just got back from a whirlwind trip to the Music City — a place that (before visiting) I mostly associated with honky tonk saloons, cowboy hats and Garth Brooks. I’m channeling my inner cowboy! Having way too much fun inside the shop at the Country Music Hall of Fame…
Love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is around the corner. But an overpriced dinner isn’t the only option for a romantic Valentine’s Day in Los Angeles. In fact, your date might even think you’re being creative by doing something unconventional (and not just being cheap!). Lucky for me, Kevin…
