Gastro Garage is one of LA’s hottest new restaurant concepts — quite literally. This isn’t just a fancy dinner out, but a full-scale pyrotechnic show. Kevin and I recently got the opportunity to check it out — securing a Friday night reservation at the W Hollywood Hotel’s rooftop where the…
There are no shortage of staycation ideas for couples in Los Angeles. Kevin and I recently marked our 16 year anniversary together. Sixteen years? It certainly doesn’t feel that long. Yet, so many things have happened in our lives, both positive and challenging. But through it all, we’ve leaned on…
Looking for ideas to celebrate New Years Eve in Dubai in 2020? You came to the right spot. There are few cities in the world that go as over the top as Dubai during the New Year — from the spectacular fireworks display at the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai…
As most of you know by now, Kevin and I were convinced that we hated Las Vegas. Okay, I’ll admit it. We’d totally judged our friends who’d drive 5 hours from LA just for a concert. Like ‘J.Lo’ won’t come to LA? We both cringed at the thought of spending…
Call them hidden gems, best-kept secrets or hidden spots — LA has so many nooks and crannies. It’s definitely easy to drive right past them. Kevin and I have lived in Los Angeles for nearly a decade and yet, we continue to stumble across new things. And sometimes (umm, more…

Traveling to Panama City, Central America? And looking for an ideal 1-week itinerary? Well, you’ve come to the right place! When Kevin and I began planning our 7-day vacation in Panama, I was a little overwhelmed. Beyond seeing the Panama Canal, we weren’t really sure what else would be unique….
It’s hard to believe that it’s been 5 months since Kevin and I got married in downtown LA. Both our families flew out a week prior so they could spend some time with us. While they don’t expect us to entertain them, we can’t help but pack in a ton…
There are few places in the world we’ve been that are as decadent as Napa Valley (or nearby Sonoma for that matter). While some groan about its commercialization (which is partly true), Napa Valley is home to some of the world’s most exclusive and luxurious experiences. And let’s face it, every so often you…
Kevin and I quickly learned one big common theme about our trip — Spaniards love to eat (and often late at night!). And we joined right in, chowing down on plates of cheese and tapas. But besides all this delicious food, many restaurants offered equally thick menus of wine that nearly…
