Valle De Guadalupe remains one of our favorite travel destinations. We’ve come here over the past 5 years, and it truly gets better every time (check out our past blog posts here). But what’s most shocking to us is just how many of our friends in Los Angeles have never…
Puebla, the landlocked Mexican state located just 2 hours by car from Mexico City, is a fun and easy road trip that will mix things up on your Mexican adventure. It makes a great detour especially if you’re doing 5 days in Mexico City. We arrived! I stand in front…
It has been a crazy past few months of travel. At this point, I’m pretty sure the dog thinks the sitter is his new owner! Our latest travel took us to the Big Island in Hawaii where we put together a jam-packed long weekend while visiting our friend Royelen for her birthday. Like…
One of the major reasons we decided to visit Africa was to see Victoria Falls — one of the largest waterfalls in the world and even taller than Niagara Falls. I have to admit, I knew NOTHING about Zambia going into this trip. But we were pleasantly surprised at just how…

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…
My mom bought me a food walking tour through Old Town Pasadena for my birthday. Okay, so my birthday was back in August. I sure know how to stretch out a celebration, right? But to be fair, Kevin and I have been gone a lot of weekends… And there was that…
I have to admit – I was NOT looking forward to the food in Japan. I’m allergic to most fish. I can’t stand red beans. And I read about Japan’s most infamous dish called Natto (rotted stinking and slimy soybeans). Okay, technically they’re fermented soybeans but really, what’s the difference? More…
