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…

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 put in an effort for Halloween (okay, maybe not much!) and dressed up. Over the past few years, we feel like we’re about 90-years-old whenever Halloween comes around in West Hollywood (why is that music so loud? They’re going to go deaf!). We went to the Halloween…

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 –…
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…
